Answer:

<em>The SUV is running at 70 km/h</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Speed As Rate Of Change </u>

The speed can be understood as the rate of change of the distance in time. When the distance increases with time, the speed is positive and vice-versa. The instantaneous rate of change of the distance allows us to find the speed as a function of time.

This is the situation. A police car is 0.6 Km above the intersection and is approaching it at 60 km/h. Since the distance is decreasing, this speed is negative. On the other side, the SUV is 0.8 km east of intersection running from the police. The distance is increasing, so the speed should be positive. The distance traveled by the police car (y) and the distance traveled by the SUV (x) form a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the distance between them (d). We have:

d=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

To find the instant speeds, we need to compute the derivative of d respect to the time (t). Since d,x, and y depend on time, we apply the chain rule as follows:

\displaystyle d\ '=\frac{x.x'+y.y'}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}

Where x' is the speed of the SUV and y' is the speed of the police car (y'=-60 km/h)

We'll compute  :

d=\sqrt{(0.8)^2+(0.6)^2}=\sqrt{0.64+0.36}

d=1\ km

We know d'=20 km/h, so we can solve for x' and find the speed of the SUV

\displaystyle \frac{x.x'+y.y'}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}=20

Thus we have

x.x'+y.y'=20

Solving for x'

\displaystyle x'=\frac{20-y.y'}{x}

Since y'=-60

\displaystyle x'=\frac{20+0.6(60)}{0.8}

x'=70\ km/h

The SUV is running at 70 km/h

A book has 12 chapters. The mean length of the chapters is 40 pages. How many total pages are there in the 12 chapters?
amm1812

Answer:

480

Step-by-step explanation:

Important Information:

A Book Has 12 Chapters.

The Mean length of the chapters is 40 pages.

Question to Answer:

How many total pages are there in the 12 chapters?

Explanation/Solution:

Let's assume that the total number of pages in the book is "x" pages.  

To find the mean (average) we divide the total "x" by 12 because there are 12 chapters in the book, which would equal to 40.  

\frac{x}{12}=40

Multiply both sides by 12...

x = 480

Hence, The total number of pages in the 12 chapters is 480.

If f(x) = 3x + 10 and g(x) = 2x - 4, find (f- g)(x).
densk [106]

Answer:

<em>(f-g)(x)=x+14</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Operations with Functions</u>

Given two functions f(x) and g(x), the following operations are defined:

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)

(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)

(f*g)(x)=f(x)*g(x)

(f/g)(x)=f(x)/g(x)

We have f(x)=3x+10 and g(x)=2x-4. Use the second formula to find

(f-g)(x)=(3x+10)-(2x-4)

Operating:

(f-g)(x)=3x+10-2x+4

Joining like terms:

(f-g)(x)=x+14
