Answer:

Total distance Rory drive = 300 +142 = 442 miles

and total distance her  cousin drive = 142 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance traveled by Rory and her cousins = 584 miles

Distance drive by Rory herself first day = 300 miles

Distance left to travel = total distance - distance drive by Rory

                                     = ( 584-300 ) miles

                                     = 284 miles.

According to the question, The second day, Rory and her cousin will share driving equally.

Let the distance traveled by cousin is S miles, then, Rory also drive S miles.

⇒  S + S = 284

⇒ 2S = 284

⇒ S = 142

So they will divide the remaining distance of 284 miles among them equally that is they both drive 142 miles.

Total distance Rory drive = 300 +142 = 442 miles

and total distance her  cousin drive = 142 miles.

The simplest and probably the best way to understand this problem is to make up a problem that obeys what you have been given. It doesn't have to be realistic. It just has to obey the conditions. Let us suppose that you thought the diameter of the tire is 1 yard. That would mean the circumfrence is pi * d

C = 3.14 * 1

That would mean that the circumference is 3.14 yards. It would also mean that you would have to have the wheel turn 1760 yards / /3.14 yards / revolution which is about 561 revolutions / mile. So the way I have set up the problem, my equation is d = 561 * R where R is the number of revolutions.

Now let's see what happens when you say "O my Goodness, the wheel diameter is really 32 inches" which 0.8888888 yards  what happens now?

Now you still have to go 1760 yards How many revolutions is that?

C = pi * d

C = 3.14 * 0.88888888

C = 2.79111 yards

How many revolutions does it take to 1760 yards.

R = 1760 // 2.78111 yards / revolution

R = 631 revolutions / mile. What happened?

Your constant goes up if the wheel diameter goes down. Think about this. Do you ride a bicycle? I do. It makes perfect sense to me that if the wheel is small, it will have to turn more often to go a mile. No matter where that 0.00125 comes from or how it was derived, the constant will have to go up if the wheel gets smaller.

What is the first step to finding the sum of 2/7 & 1/4 without a calculator?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

first get a common denominator  by multiplying 7 and 4 to get  28

28 is our common denominator here.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to add the fractions   2/7 and 1/4

(2/7) * (4/4)   and    (1/4) * (7/7)

(2/7) * (4/4)   +   (1/4) * (7/7) =  8/28  + 7/28 = 15/28

The y-intercept of the function is at y = -3 so the options that don’t include it are off the table. The only possible answer is option C. Option A doesn’t work because plugging in positive values would give negative numbers within the square root which isn’t defined in the real numbers.

Use the graph that shows the solution to
Luda [366]

Answer:

The solution for f(x) = g(x) are;

x = 1 and x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations for the functions, g(x) are;

f(x) = \dfrac{1 + 2\cdot x}{x}

g(x) = 2 + x

The solution for f(x) = g(x), is given by equating the equations of the two functions as follows;

When f(x) = g(x), we have;

\dfrac{1 + 2\cdot x}{x} = 2 + x

By cross multiplication, we have;

1 + 2·x = x × (2 + x) = 2·x + x²

∴ x² + 2·x - 2·x - 1 = 0

x² - 1 = 0

(x - 1)·(x + 1) = 0

x = 1, or x = -1

f(x) = g(x) = 2 + 1 = 3, or 2 - 1 = 1

Therefore, the solution for f(x) = g(x) are;

f(x) = g(x) = 3 or 1 where x = 1 and x = -1.
