It will take 3 hours 6 minutes 40 seconds for the cars to be 420 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; The cars are traveling in the opposite direction at different speeds. One is going north at a speed of 75 mph while the other is going 60 mph. So for every hour, the cars are traveling they increase the distance between in between themselves by 75 miles + 60 miles = 135 miles.

Step 2; Assume that in x hours the distance between them is 420 miles. To calculate x we divide the distance to be traveled by the distance being traveled every hour.

x = distance to be covered / distance being traveled every hour

= 420 / 135 = 3.11 hours

We multiply the 0.11 hours with 60 to convert it into minutes. 0.11 × 60 = 6.66 minutes and if we do the same for seconds, 0.66 minutes × 60 = 40 seconds.

The length plus the width of a rectangle is 10. Let x represent the length. The equation for the area y of the
yuradex [85]

Answer:

length of rectangle = 5

width of rectangle = 5

Area of rectangle = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of the rectangle is "x", and the value of the area is given by the product of the length "x" times the width "10-x", indeed, the area "y" of the rectangle is given by the equation:

y=x\,(10-x)=10x-x^2

Now, they tell us that the area of the rectangle is such that coincides with the maximum (vertex) of the parabola this quadratic expression represents. So in order to find the dimensions of the rectangle and therefore its area, we find the x-coordinate for the vertex, and from it, the y-coordinate of the vertex, which is the rectangle's actual area.

Recall that the formula for the x of the vertex of a quadratic of the form :

y=ax^2+bx+c

is given by the formula:

x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2\,a}

which in our case gives:

x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2\,a}\\x_{vertex}=-\frac{10}{2\,(-1)}\\x_{vertex}=5

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 5, and its width (10-x) is also 5.

The area of the rectangle is therefore the product of these two values: 5 * 5 = 25

Which should coincide with the value we obtain when we replace x by 5 in the area formula:

y=10x-x^2\\y=50-(5)^2\\y=50-25\\y=25

Find the sum of the even integers from 20 to 50.<br><br><br>with solutions please help​
alina1380 [7]

Answer: 560

Step-by-step explanation:

There are [20, 22, 24, 26, 28]: 5 even integers for each ten numbers.

The 20's set can be written as 5*20 + (2+4 + 6 + 8) = 5*20 + (20) = 120

The 30's can be written: 5*30 + 20 = 170

40's: 5*40+20 = 220

50's: 5*50+20 = 270

60's: 5*60+20 = 320

Each set is incremented by 50

We want the sets for 20, 30, and 40, plus the number 50.

(120+170+220+50) = 560

You can also do this in Excel (attached). Set the first cell to 20, the next cell below equal to the cell above plus 2. Then draw the second cell down until you've reached 50. Then sum the cells to arrive at 560.

Y = 15x + 10, where y is the total cost of renting 1 bicycle on the boardwalk for x hours. Determine whether the function is pro
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The function is non-proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function was proportional, when the number of hours spent riding the bicycle is equal to 0, the total cost of renting the bicycle would also be 0. In other words, the function would be proportional if y=0 when x=0. However, this is not the case.

y=15x+10

Plug 0 into the equation as x

y=15(0)+10\\y=10

When 1 bicycle has been rented for 0 hours, the customer still has to pay 10 dollars just for renting it. When x=0, y=10. This means that the function is non-proportional.

I hope this helps!
