A bus went halfway from a village to a city at a certain speed. Then it stopped in traffic for an hour. In order to catch up the

time, for the remaining 200 km of the way the driver decided to go at a speed which was 10 km/h greater than his speed before he got stuck in traffic. The bus got to the city on time. What was the speed of the bus before the traffic holdup?

We have to assume that the speed before being stuck was sufficient to get to the destination on time had there been no delay. Call that speed "s" in km/h.

Since 200 km is "halfway", the total distance must be 400 km.

time = distance / speed
total time = (time for first half) + (delay) + (time for second half)

400/s = 200/s + 1 + 200/(s+10) . . . .times are in hours, distances in km
200/s = 1 + 200/(s+10) . . . . . . . . . . subtract 200/s
200(s+10) = s(s+10) +200s . . . . . . .multiply by s(s+10)
0 = s² +10s - 2000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract the left side
(s+50)(s-40) = 0
Solutions are s = -50, s = 40

The speed of the bus before the traffic holdup was 40 km/h.

A university offers 3 calculus classes: Math 2A, 2B and 2C. In both parts, you are given data about a group of students who have
ankoles [38]

Answer:

4 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students is given by:

|A|+|B|+|C|-|A\cap B|-|A\cap C|-|B\cap C| + |A\cap B \cap C| = N

Where N is the total number of students, A is the number of students that have taken Math 2A, B is the number of students that have taken Math 2B, and C is the number of students that have taken Math 2C:

|A|+|B|+|C|-|A\cap B|-|A\cap C|-|B\cap C| + |A\cap B \cap C| = N\\51+80+70-15-20-13 +  |A\cap B \cap C|  = 157\\ |A\cap B \cap C| =4

4 students in Group A have taken all three classes.

*The number of students that have taken two classes has be subtracted so those students do not get counted twice

sineoko [7]

Answer:

$220 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

a = p * w (the percentage formula)

subsitute. It rose by 30 % since last year so you're going to put 1.30 (30% -> 0.30 then add 1)

286 = 1.30 * w

solve.

What is the range of the following function:<br> y = 2(5^x) - 1
Orlov [11]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The range of the function is:

Range: y>2

or

Range: (2,∞+)

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate the range of the following function (exponential function) we need to perform the following steps:

First: Find the value of "x"

So, finding "x" we have:

y=2(5^{x}-1)\\\frac{y}{2}=5^{x}-1\\\\\frac{y}{2}-1=5^{x}\\\\Log_{5}(\frac{y}{2}-1)=Log_5(5^{x})\\\\x=Log_{5}(\frac{y}{2}-1)

Second: Interpret the restriction of the function:

Since we are working with logarithms, we know that the only restriction that we found is that the logarithmic functions exist only from 0 to the possitive infinite without considering the number 1.

So, we can see that if the variable "x" is a real number, "y" must be greater than 2 because if it's equal to 2 the expression inside the logarithm will tend to 0, and since the logarithm of 0 does not exist in the real numbers, the variable "x" would not be equal to a real number.

Hence, the range of the function is:

Range: y>2

or

Range: (2,∞+)

Note: I have attached a picture (the graph of the function) for better understanding.

Have a nice day!
