Answer: they will meet after 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the number of hours it will take them to meet.

A walker and a cyclist are 45 miles apart. If they move towards each other, in t hours, they would have covered a total of 45 miles

Distance = speed × time

They move towards each other with speeds of 5 mph and 10 mph respectively. It means that the distance covered by the walker in t hours is 5 × t = 5t

Also, the distance covered by the cyclist in t hours is 10 × t = 10t

Since the total distance covered us 45 miles, then

5t + 10t = 45

15t = 45

t = 45/15

t = 3 hours

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

- 3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2 {x}^{3}  - 6x + 1 \\ plugging \: x =  - 2 \\ f( - 2) = 2( { - 2})^{3}  - 6( - 2)+ 1  \\  = 2 \times ( - 8) + 12 + 1 \\  =  - 16 + 13 \\  =  - 3 \\ f( - 2) =  - 3

Round to the nearest hundreth
n200080 [17]

Answer:

∠ B ≈ 66.42°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos B = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{2}{5}, thus

B = cos^{-1}(\frac{2}{5} ) ≈ 66.42° ( to the nearest hundredth )
