Two trains leave towns 798 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels 22 kmh slower than

the other. If they meet in 3 hours, what is the rate of each train?

The rate of faster train is 144 kilometer per hour and rate of slower train is 122 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total distance = 798 kilometers

Let,

speed of faster train = x

speed of slower train = x-2

Time = 3 hours

Distance = Speed*Time

Distance covered by faster train = 3x

Distance covered by slower train = 3(x-22) = 3x-66

As they both traveled combined distance, therefore,

3x+(3x-66)=798\\3x+3x-66=798\\6x=798+66\\6x=864

Dividing both sides by 6

\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{864}{6}\\x=144

The speed of faster train is 144 km/h

Speed of slower train = x-22 = 144-22 = 122 km/h

The rate of faster train is 144 kilometer per hour and rate of slower train is 122 kilometers per hour.

If [infinity] cn8n n = 0 is convergent, can we conclude that each of the following series is convergent? (a) [infinity] cn(−3)n
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

a) we know that this is convergent.

b) we know that this might not converge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the \sum^\infty_{n=0}C_n8^n is convergent

Therefore,

(a)  \sum^\infty_{n=0}C_n(-3)^n The power series \sum C_nx^n has radius of convergence at least as big as 8. So we definitely know it converges for all x satisfying -8<x≤8. In particular for x = -3

∴ \sum^\infty_{n=0}C_n(-3)^n  is convergent.

(b) \sum^\infty_{n=0}C_n(-8)^n -8 could be right on the edge of the interval of convergence, and so might not converge

There are less than 200 apples in a box. It is known that 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 kids can share these apples evenly. How many apples c
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

<u>There can be 180 apples in that box.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to answer the question correctly:

Number of apples in a box < 200

2. It is known that 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 kids can share these apples evenly. How many apples can be in that box?

The answer is that the number of apples that can be in the box is the highest multiple of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 that is close to 200.

The common multiples for this set of numbers are 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 and so on with 60 as the constant.

Therefore, the highest number that is multiple for this set of numbers and at the same time lower than 200 is 180.

<u>There can be 180 apples in that box.</u>
