If they meet after 8 hours, then the sum of their average speeds is 600/8=75 km per hour.  If one is 5 km per hour faster than the other, then if we set the speed of the slower man to x, we have:

2x+5=75

So:

2x=70

x=30

The fastest man is 5 km per hour faster than the slower, so he travels 35 km per hour.

What's the x-intercept for number 26?
Lunna [17]
It gives function: h = -16t^2 + 40
water is when height is 0 so solve for 0= -16t^2 + 40
subtract 40 from both sides: -40 = -16t^2
divide by -16: -40/-16 = t^2
simplify: 5/2 = t^2
square root both sides: 1.58 = t

What is the explicit formula for this sequence -7, -4, -1, 2, 5
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

\large\boxed{a_n=3n-10}

Step-by-step explanation:

It's an arithmetic sequence.

-4-(-7)=-4+7=3\\-1-(-4)=-1+4=3\\2-(-1)=2+1=3\\5-2=3

The difference is constant.

The explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Substitute:

a_1=-7,\ d=3

a_n=-7+(n-1)(3)          <em>use distributive property</em>

a_n=-7+3n-3\\\\a_n=3n+(-7-3)\\\\a_n=3n-10

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a perpendicular line is the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the original line. so just switch the numbers and put the top number into a negative.
