The distance on a bike path between Westfield and Southborough is 46 mi. Tracey leaves Westfield heading to Southborough cycling

at a constant rate of 15 mph. Emma leaves her house at the same time and cycles along the same path from Southborough to meet Tracey. Her cycling rate is 8 mph. How many hours will it take until the two friends meet along the bike path?

Answer: 2 hr.

Explanation: Think back to rate of change. <em>d</em> = <em>rt</em>, <em>r</em> = <em>d/t</em>, <em>t</em> = <em>d/r</em>. In this case, we will be using <em>d</em> = <em>rt</em>. Mph would be <em>r</em>, rate, so you would categorize 15 mph and 8 mph under rate. <em>t</em> should represent the time each cyclist traveled. Tracey's and Emma's distance, <em>d</em>, would be the same as their mph, hence Tracey's being 15<em>t</em> and Emma's would be 8<em>t</em>. When you add Tracey's distance plus Emma's distance, you end up with 46 mi. Now, you need to combine like terms, which should look like 15<em>t</em> + 8<em>t </em> = 46. Add 15 and 8 to get 23, so it should be 23<em>t</em> = 46 now. Then, divide both sides of the equation by 23 and now you should have your answer, <em>t</em> = 2 hr.

Solve the given equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Let k be any integer. Round terms to two decimal places
Montano1993 [528]

The solution of the given equation is :

cosθ = 1/2 when θ = π/3 + 2kπ or 5π/3 + 2kπ

cosθ = -1 when θ = π + 2kπ

Since cos2θ + sin2θ = 1, sin2θ = 1 - cos2θ

So, the given equation is equivalent to 2(1 - cos2θ) - cosθ = 1

-2cos2θ - cosθ + 1 = 0

2cos2θ + cosθ - 1 = 0 (multiplying the entire equation by -1)

(2cosθ - 1)(cosθ + 1) = 0 (taking common)

cosθ = 1/2 or cosθ = -1 (on equating it to zero)

cosθ = 1/2 when θ = π/3 + 2kπ or 5π/3 + 2kπ

cosθ = -1 when θ = π + 2kπ

Help! Is it parallel, perpendicular, or neither? Thanks *ignore handwriting*
Digiron [165]
These lines are perpendicular!
y = x
y = -x–2
The slopes are reciprocals of each other, so they are perpendicular.
