Answer:

Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:    

Given : Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same point. Alan races around the track in 45 seconds before Brian does and overtakes him every 9 minutes.

To find : What are their rates, in meters per minute?

Solution :

Let n represent the number of laps that Alan completes in 9 minutes.

Then n-1 is the number of laps Brian completes.

45 seconds = 3/4 minutes.

The difference in their lap times in minutes per lap is

\frac{9}{(n -1)}-\frac{9}{n} =\frac{3}{4}

Solving the equation we get,

\frac{9n-9n+9}{n(n -1)} =\frac{3}{4}

9\times 4=3\times n(n -1)

36=3\times n(n -1)

n^2-n-12=0

n^2-4n+3n-12=0

n(n-4)+3(n-4)=0

(n-4)(n+3)=0

n=4,-3

Neglecting n=-3

So, n=4

Then Alan's speed in m/min is

S=\frac{D}{T}

S_a=\frac{4\times 450}{9}

S_a=200 m/min

Brian completes 3 laps in that 9-minute time, so his rate is

S_b=\frac{3\times 450}{9}

S_b=150 m/min

Therefore, Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

a line segment has (x1,y1) as one endpoint and (xm,ym) as its midpoint. Find the other endpoint (x2,y2)of the line segment in te
svlad2 [7]

(x1,y1)

(x2,y2)

(xm,ym)

Midpoint formula is given as below.

((x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 )

Where

(x1 + x2)/2 = xm ----------- (1)

(y1 + y2)/2 = ym ----------- (2)

Equation (1) implies that;

x1 + x2 = 2xm

x2 = 2xm – x1

Equation (2) implies that;

y1 + y2 = 2ym

y2 = 2ym – y1

Thus the end point is

<span>(x2,y2) = (2xm – x1, 2ym – y1)</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you add two number x and -x and it becomes 0 . IT is the identity property.

Ex:

-1/3 + 1/3 = 0

-1 + 1 = 0

Answer:

Problem 2): \left \{x\, |\,0\leq x\leq 240\,\,\right \}

which agrees with answer C listed.

Problem 3) :  D = (-3, 6]  and R = [-5, 7]

which agrees with answer D listed

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 2)

The Domain is the set of real numbers in which the function (given by a graph in this case) is defined. We see from the graph that the line is defined for all x values between 0 and 240. Such set, expressed in "set builder notation" is:

\left \{x\, |\,0\leq x\leq 240\,\right \}

Problem 3)

notice that the function contains information on the end points to specify which end-point should be included and which one should not. The one on the left (for x = -3 is an open dot, indicating that it should not be included in the function's definition, therefor the Domain starts at values of x strictly larger than -3. So we use the "parenthesis" delimiter in the interval notation for this end-point. On the other hand, the end point on the right is a solid dot, indicating that it should be included in the function's definition, then we use the "square bracket notation for that end-point when writing the Domain set in interval notation:

Domain = (-3, 6]

For the Range (the set of all those y-values connected to points in the Domain) we use the interval notation form:

Range = [-5, 7]

since there minimum y-value observed for the function is at -5 , and the maximum is at 7, with a continuum in between.
