Answer: the rate of the car is 50mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the average speed of the bus.

Let y represent the distance travelled by the bus.

The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the bus. This means that the average speed of the car would be

2x - 30

Distance = speed × time

Time = distance/speed

Therefore, In 2 hours time,

2 = y/x

2x = y

In two hours the car is 20 miles ahead of the bus. Therefore

2 = (y + 20)/(2x - 30)

2(2x - 30) = y + 20

4x - 60 = y + 20 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

4x - 60 = 2x + 20

4x - 2x = 20 + 60

2x = 80

x = 80/2 = 40

The speed of the car would be

2x - 30 = 2 × 40 - 30

= 80 - 30 = 50 mph

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the function f(x) = log(2x + 1) − 1.
sleet_krkn [62]
<span>Alright, here's your answer.

y-intercept is computed (not found) by assigning x = 0 and computing y: here that is f(0) = Log(2*0 + 1) – 1 = Log(1) – 1 = 0 – 1 = -1 
y-intercept is (0, -1) 

x-intercept is computed by solving f(x) = 0 for x: here that is 
0 = Log(2x + 1) – 1 → 1 = Log(2x + 1) 

Assuming the Log cited is base 10, then 10^1 = 10^Log(2x + 1) = 2x + 1 

That’s 10 = 2x + 1 

Therefore 9 = 2x 
x = 9/2 = 4.5 
Check this result in the original equation, I did! 

Your answer is - x-intercept is (4.5, 0)

I hope I helped! :)

That is weird but here it is again
borishaifa [10]

Answer: 3.6 feet per year

Pick any column and divide the feet over the years

eg: 7.2/2 = 3.6 (column 1)

You can think of it as the ratio

7.2 feet: 2 years

and then divide both sides by 2 to get "1 year" on the right side

7.2 feet: 2 years

7.2/2 feet: 2/2 years

3.6 feet: 1 year
