Answer:

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's say that her departure trip takes t in minutes, as her return speed is 3 times her departure speed, she took t/3 for the return and we know that this 40 minutes less, so we can write.

t/3=t-40

We can multiply by 3

t = 3t -40*3 = 3t - 120

This is equivalent to

3t -120 = t

We subtract t

2t-120 = 0

2t = 120

We divide by 2

t = 120/2 = 60

So this is 60 minutes = 1 hour.

Thank you.

Annette [7]
We can write the sequence out more fully, as we can see each time it is divided by 6.
60, 60/6, 60/6^2, 60/6^3, and so on.
Therefore we know the sequence can be written as u_n= \frac{60}{6^{n-1}}
You can think of this as a graph, i.e. y=60/6^(x-1)
As a result, as x tends to infinity, y tends to 0 (since it effectively becomes 60/infinity). Therefore the sequence converges toward zero.

find the length of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse of the given measure given 5 to the square root of 6
iragen [17]

In isosceles right triangle, legs are equal. Let each leg is of x units . And the given hypotenuse is 5 square 6. We use pythagorean identity here, which is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a=b=x and c= 5 square root 6

x^2 +x^2 =(5 \sqrt6)^2

2x^2 = 150

x^2 =75

x= 5 \sqrt 3

And that's the length of both the legs . ANd that's the required answer .
