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

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is an = 20 + (n − 1)(2). What is the 200th term?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

a_{200}=418

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by :

a_n=20+(n-1)2 ...(1)

We need to find the 200th term of the sequence.

Put n = 200 in equation (1)

a_{200}=20+(200-1)2\\\\=20+199\times 2\\\\=418

So, the 200th term of the sequence is 418.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! GIVING (17 POINTS)
bija089 [108]

Answer:

61.)   A, B, A

62.) 120 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

61.) 48 is a multiple of 6. A multiple is a number which can be fully divided into another number (divded without remainder). Therefore, 48 is a multiple of 6 because 6 * 8 = 48 meaning that 48/6 would equal 8. Because there is no remainder, Carly can put the beads into 6 equal groups.

62.) This is a simple conversion problem. Since they are asking the amount of minutes, you need to convert 2 hours to minutes. You do not need to calculate it or set up a formula because there are 60 minutes in one hour, therore, in 2 hours there are 120 minutes (60 minutes + 60 minutes).

-1/4x – 2/3x = -6 + 28
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

x= -24

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4x-2/3x= -6+28

add -6 to 28 but since 6 is a negative its subtraction

-1/4x-2/3x=22

multiply all by 12

-3x-8x=264

add -3x to -8x

-11x=264

divide both sides by -11

x= -24
