Answer:

116.9 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the express train be s and the time required by that train to cover 240 km be t.

Since distance = rate times time,

rate = distance / time

                                                            240 km

and so, for the express train, rate = ----------------

                                                                   t

To solve this problem, find the rate of the express train first.

                                                                 240 km

For the other train, rate - (12 km/hr) = -----------------

                                                                     t - 1

Substituting (240 km)/1 for rate in the second equation results in:

240 km       12 km         240 km

------------ - ------------- = ------------------

    1 hr            1 hr              t - 1

Simplifying the left side, we get:

 228 km       240 km

--------------- = -------------

     1 hr              t - 1

Note that if we multiply 228 km by 1.053, we get 240 km.

Let's multiply both numerator and denominator of the left side of the above equation by 1.053:

 240 km         240 km

---------------- = --------------

  1.053 hr           t - 1

Then t - 1 = 1.053, and t = 2.053 (hours)

We already know that the speed of the first train is

            240 km

rate = ----------------

                   t

and we now know that t = 2.053 hrs.

Thus, the rate of the express train is

            240 km

rate = ------------------ =  116.9 km/hr

             2.053 hrs                                                       t

Answer:

12.63 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance=240km

At 12 km/hr it will take =240/12 =20

time for Express train = 20-1=19

speed=240/19=12.63...km/hr

If $4000 is borrowed at a rate of 16% interest
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

(a) $7492

(b) $10,253

(c) $14,032

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, the final Amount can be calculated with the formula for compound interest,

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

where,

A = Final Amount due

P = Initial principal amount borrowed

r = rate of interest in decimal

n = number of times applied per time period

t = total time period

Now, according to the given data,

(a) in 4 years ;-

⇒ A = 4000(1 + \frac{0.16}{4} )^{4(4)}

⇒ A = 7492

(b) in 6 years ;-

⇒ A = 4000(1 + \frac{0.16}{4} )^{4(6)}

⇒ A = 10,253

(c) in 8 years ;-

⇒ A = 4000(1 + \frac{0.16}{4} )^{4(8)}

⇒ A = 14,032

For what values of x is the expression below defined?<br> Look at the picture(15 points)
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

D. -5 <= x < 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the values under the square-root radical must not be negative, AND

the value of the denominator must not be 0 or negative

x+5 >=0  or x >= -5

and 1-x > 0 or x < 1

So the answer is -5 <= x < 1
