Question

Mathematics
1 answer:
Yakvenalex [24]3 years ago

Answer:

2.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance traveled by the truck heading west = x miles.

Let the distance traveled by the truck heading east = y miles.

Distance between the trucks = 325 miles.

Therefore, x + y = 325 (Equation 1).

Speed of the truck heading west = 70 miles per hour.

Speed of the truck heading east = 60 miles per hour.

Therefore, time taken by the truck heading west = x/70 hours and time taken by the truck heading east = y/60 hours.

Since the time is same for both trucks, therefore:

x/70 = y/60.

6x = 7y.

x = 7y/6 (Equation 2).

Put Equation 2 in Equation 1:

7y/6 + y = 325.

(7y + 6y)/6 = 325.

13y = 1950.

y = 150 miles.

Since time taken by the truck heading east = y/60 hours, put y = 150 miles.

Time taken = 150/60 hours.

Time taken = 2.5 hours.

Therefore, the trucks will travel 2.5 hours before they are 325 miles apart!!!

A car travels at a speed of 85 mph how far will it travel in 15 minutes ​
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

106.25 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

since the car travels at 85 miles per hour we divide it by 60 seconds in order to find how many miles is it to get in a minute

=> 85mph ÷ 60

divide 85 by 60

=> 1.416

multiply 1.416 by 15 to get how many miles it to go in 15 minutes

=> 21.25

then add it to 85

=> 106.25

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (2, 4) and a directrix of y = 8. f(x) = −one eighth (x − 2)2 + 6 f(x) = one
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

For any point (x, y ) on the parabola the focus and directrix are equidistant

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(y-4)^2} = | y - 8 |

Squaring both sides gives

(x - 2)² + (y - 4)² = (y - 8)²

(x - 2)² + y² - 8y + 16 = y² - 16y + 64 ( rearrange and simplify )

(x - 2)² = - 8y + 48

8y = - (x - 2)² + 48

y = - \frac{1}{8}(x - 2)² + 6 → A
