Answer:

V_{E} = -22.5 / 15 = 1.5 miles/minute\\V_{F} = 7.5 / 15 = 0.5 miles/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, we must bear in mind that the express train travels 3 times faster than the freight train.

If we call F the distance that the freight train travels and we call E at the distance that the express train travels, we must have the distance between them after 15 minutes it must be 30 miles.

So

F + E = 30\\

We also know that:

E = 3F

Since the express train travels 3 times faster than the freight train.

So, like both equations, we have to:

F + 3F = 30\\F = 30/4\\F = 7.5 miles\\

Then E = 7.5*3 = 22.5 miles in the opposite direction.

This is the distance you traveled in 15 minutes.

Therefore, the speed of the express train (V_{E}) is the distance traveled between the time it did

V_{E} = -22.5 / 15 = 1.5 miles/minute\\V_{F} = 7.5 / 15 = 0.5 miles/minute

Find the inverse, please help.
igomit [66]
Replace f(x) with y

Y = 2x -5

Swap roles of x

X= 2y-5

5+x =2y

Divide by 2

5+x /2 = y

Replace y with inverse f^-1(x)

Answer= f^-1(x) = 5+x / 2

Algebra 2 Quadratics. <br>Maximum Height of<br> h(t) = -16t + 96t<br>(with steps if possible)
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

max. height = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Function should be h(t ) = - 16t² + 96t

find the zeros by solving h(t) = 0

- 16t² + 96t = 0 ( take out common factor - 16t )

- 16t(t - 6) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for t

- 16t = 0 ⇒ t = 0

t - 6 = 0 ⇒ t = 6

the maximum vertex is at the midpoint of the zeros

t = \frac{0+6}{2} = 3

h(3) = (- 16 × 3) + (96 × 3) = - 48 + 288 = 240 ← max. height
