Answer:

  • 50 mph: 4 h
  • 45 mph: 2 h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time driving at 50 mi/h. Then her total distance driven (in miles) is ...

  distance = speed · time

  290 = 50t + 45(6-t)

  20 = 5t . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 270, collect terms

  4 = t . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

Taylor drove 4 hours at 50 miles per hour, then 2 hours at 45 miles per hour.

Explain an example of how taking an amount (for example, $20), decreasing it by 40% and then increasing that amount by 40% does
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

What we can do is try it out.

20*0.6=12

since 0.6 is left

now we increase 12 by 40, or multiply it by 1.4

12*1.4= 16.8

See what is happening here is that at first when we are decreasing it by 40 percent, we are taking 40 percent of 20. However, when we increase that amount by 40 percent, we are now increasing 40 percent of 20 by 40 percent, or increasing 16 by 40 percent. Therefore, we will not get the original amount.

KE = 0 (because velocity is 0)  

PE = mgh = 2kg*9.8m/s^2*40m= 784 joule

<u>Explanation:</u>

KE stands for kinetic energy. In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.

Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. Since in this case, the building is still and therefore it does not have any kind of kinetic energy because there is not acceleration.

30% of 69 is 20.7.
69-20.7= $43.30
8% of 43.3 is 3.864. 
43.3+3.864= $52.164
