Answer:

7.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the variable 't' for time, you can set up an equation to find out how long it will take the truck to catch up to the  bus.  Since the bus is traveling at 60mph and the truck is traveling 1 2/3 times faster, we need to first find the rate of the truck:

1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}

\frac{60}{1}*\frac{5}{3}=\frac{300}{3}=100mph

Using 't' and the knowledge that they will have traveled the same distance we the truck catches up to the bus and the fact that the truck left 3 hours later:

60t = 100(t - 3)  or 60t = 100t - 300

Solve for 't':  60t - 100t = -300 or -40t = -300  so, t = 7.5 hours

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The truck can catches the bus after </u><u>4.5 </u><u>hours</u>

<u />

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

As we know that speed of the bus is 60 mph

and The speed of the truck = 60 × =60 × = 100 mph

The bus moves before the truck by 3 hours

The bus moves a distance = 60 × 3 = 180 miles when the truck starts moving

So Distance of truck - Distance of bus = 180

Distance of truck = 100 × t = 100t

Distance of bus = 60 × t = 60t

so they meet each other at the same time

Now

100t - 60t = 180

40t = 180

t = 180/40 = 4.5

Now they meet each other after 4.5 hours

The truck can catches the bus after 4.5 hours

Suppose an airline policy states that all baggage must be box shaped with a sum of​ length, width, and height not exceeding 114
NISA [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the length of one side of the base be s and the height by h.  Then the volume of the box is V = s^2*h; this is to be maximized.

The constraints are as follows:  2s + h = 114 in.  Solving for h, we get 114 - 2s = h.

Substituting 114 - 2s for h in the volume formula, we obtain:

V = s^2*(114 - 2s), or V = 114s^2 - 2s^3, or V = 2*(s^2)(57 - s)

This is to be maximized.  To accomplish this, find the first derivative of this formula for V, set the result equal to 0 and solve for s:

dV

----- = 2[(s^2)(-1) + (57 - s)(2s)] = 0 = 2s^2(-1) + 114s - 2s^2

ds

Simplifying this, we get dV/ds = -4s^2 + 114s = 0.  Then either s = 28.5 or s = 0.

Then the area of the base is 28.5^2 in^2 and the height is 114 - 2(28.5) = 57 in

and the volume is V = s^2(h) = 46,298.25 in^3

Suppose the solutions of a homogeneous system of four linear equations in five unknowns are all multiples of one nonzero solutio
Akimi4 [234]

Consider a homogeneous machine of four linear equations in five unknowns are all multiples of 1 non-0 solution. Objective is to give an explanation for the gadget have an answer for each viable preference of constants on the proper facets of the equations.

Yes, it's miles true.

Consider the machine as Ax = 0. in which A is 4x5 matrix.

From given dim Nul A=1. Since, the rank theorem states that

The dimensions of the column space and the row space of a mxn matrix A are equal. This not unusual size, the rank of matrix A, additionally equals the number of pivot positions in A and satisfies the equation

rank A+ dim NulA = n

dim NulA =n- rank A

Rank A = 5 - dim Nul A

Rank A = 4

Thus, the measurement of dim Col A = rank A = five

And since Col A is a subspace of R^4, Col A = R^4.

So, every vector b in R^4 also in Col A, and Ax = b, has an answer for all b. Hence, the structures have an answer for every viable preference of constants on the right aspects of the equations.
