Distance = speed * time
d = st
The sports car travels d distance for t time at speed, s, 95 mph until it overtakes the family
car.
The equation for the sports car is
d = 95t
The family car travels the same distance, d, but since it left 4.5 hours earlier than the sports car, it travels for t + 4.5 time until it is overtaken. It travels at speed, 35 mph.
The equation for the family car is
d = 35(t + 4.5)
We solve the two equations as a system of equations.
d = 95t
d = 35(t + 4.5)
Since d = d, set the right sides of the equations above equal to each other.
95t = 35(t + 4.5)
95t = 35t + 157.5
60t = 157.5
t = 2.625
The answer is 2.625 hours, or 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 30 seconds.
Check:
In 2.625 hours, the sports car travels: 95 mph * 2.625 h = 249.375 miles
The family car traveled 2.625 hours plus the extra 4.5 hours, or 7.125 hours.
In 7.125 hours, the family car travels 35 mph * 7.125 h = 249.375 miles.
The cars have traveled the same distance 2.625 hours after the sports car left, so our answer is correct.
Answer:
approximately 6.708 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the problem, using 3 feet and 6 feet as the legs of a right angle triangle. The diagonal of the screen is therefore the "hypotenuse" of this right angle triangle, and can be determined via the formula:

which is approximately 6.708 feet
Find the line that is normal to the parabola at the given point
remember that normal means perpendicular
perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
we can use point slope form to write the equation of the line since we are given the point (1,0)
we just need the slope
take derivitive
y'=1-2x
at x=1
y'=1-2(1)
y'=1-2
y'=-1
the slope is -1
the perpendicular of that slope is what number we can multiply to get -1
-1 times what=-1?
what=1
duh
so
point (1,0) and slope 1
y-0=1(x-1)
y=x-1 is da equation
solve for where y=x-1 and y=x-x² intersect
set equatl to each other since equal y
x-1=x-x²
x²-1=0
factor difference of 2 perfect squares
(x-1)(x+1)=0
set to zero
x-1=0
x=1
we got this point already
x+1=0
x=-1
sub back
y=-1-(-1)²
y=-1-(1)
y=-1-1
y=-2
it intersects at (-1,-2)
Oliver is incorrect because if he were correct he would learn for 2 hours and 15 minutes because, 45 minutes * 3= 2:15 minutes.
