On Tuesday and Wednesday of last week I left home for school at the same time. On Tuesday I drove 40 mph (miles per hour) on my

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

The total surface area of this cuboid is 112cm^2. Find the value of x.
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The value of x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us study the face of the cuboind

∵ The cuboid has 6 rectangular faces

∵ Each opposite faces area equal in areas

∴ 2 faces of dimensions 10 cm and 2 cm

∴ 2 faces of dimensions 10 cm and x cm

∴ 2 faces of dimensions 2 cm and x cm

∵ The total surface area of the cuboid is the sum of the areas of the 6 faces

∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width

∴ The total surface area = 2(10 × 2) + 2(10 × x) + 2(2 × x)

∴ The total surface area = 2(20) + 2(10x) + 2(2x)

∴ The total surface area = 40 + 20x + 4x

→ Add the like terms 20x and 4x

∴ The total surface area = 40 + 24x

∵ The total surface area of this cuboid is 112 cm²

→ Equate the two sides of the total surface area

∴ 40 + 24x = 112

→ Subtract 40 from both sides

∵ 40 - 40 + 24x = 112 - 40

∴ 24x = 72

→ Divide both sides by 24

∴ x = 3

∴ The value of x is 3

5. If Amber decides to mail copies of her photos to the 45 residents of her grandmother’s assisted living facility, the new func
pav-90 [236]

Answer: please find the answer in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given from the question, the initial function representing her photo sharing is:

F(x) = 3(4)^2

F(x) = 3 × 16 = 48 photos

Then the new graph has an upward shift ( translation) of 45 units

The new function representing her photo sharing is:

F(x) = 3(4)^2 + 45

F(x) = 48 + 45

F(x) = 93 photos.
