way to school and arrived 3 minutes late. On Wednesday I drove 50 mph on my way to school and arrived 2 minutes early. How far do I live from work?

Answer:

16.67 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to:

t = time (in hours) required to arrive on time.

Now the time that is late or earlier, they give it in minutes, therefore it must be spent in hours:

In other words, 3 minutes late is 3/60 hours late, therefore:

t1 = t + 3/60

2 minutes before is 2/60 hours before, therefore:

t2 = t - 2/60

The distance is the same in both directions, so v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

We know that v1 = 40 and v2 = 50 by replacing:

40 * (t + 3/60) = 50 * (t - 2/60)

40 * t + 2 = 50 * t - 5/3

40 * t - 50 * t = -5/3 - 2

-10 * t = -3.66

t = 3.6 / 10

t = 0.366 hours = 0.366 * 60 = 22 minutes

That is, in the first case it takes 25 (22 + 3) minutes, therefore:

40 * 25/60 = 16.66 miles

In the second case it takes 20 (22 -2) minutes, therefore:

50 * 20/60 = 16.66 miles

Therefore lives 16.67 miles from work

$8 + ($2.50 * x)

b.

$8 + ($2.50 * 10)

= $8 + $25.0

= $33

A circular racetrack has a diameter of 1/2 mile. How far does a car travel in one lap around the track? Round to the nearest ten
dlinn [17]
Given:
Circular racetrack with a diameter of 1/2 mile

Find: how far does a car travel in one lap around the track?

We need to find the circumference of the racetrack.

Circumference is multiplying pi to the diameter of the racetrack.

Circumference = 3.14 * 1/2 mile
Circumference = 3.14/2 mile
Circumference = 1.57 miles rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.60 miles.

Select interior, exterior, or on the circle (x - 5) 2 + (y + 3) 2 = 25 for the following point. (2, 3)
lozanna [386]
Standard equation of a circle: <em>(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²</em> where <em>(h, k)</em> is the center and <em>r </em>is the radius. In the case of our equation here, <em>(x-5)² + (y+3)² = 25</em>, we can conclude that our circle has a center at (5, -3) and a radius of 5 units.

We can use the distance formula with the center (5, -3) and our point (2, 3) to see how far away they are...if the distance between them is less than the radius of the circle, it is on the interior. If it's equal, it's on the circle. If it's greater, it's on the exterior.

Distance = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}

Distance = \sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(5-2)^2}

Distance = \sqrt{(-6)^2+3^2}

Distance = \sqrt{36+9}

Distance = \sqrt{45}\approx6.7082

6.7082>5,\ so\ (2,3)\ is\ on\ the\ \boxed{exterior}
