A truck covers a distance of 150 km at a certain average speed and then covers another 200 km at an average speed which is 20 km

per hour more than the first speed. If the truck covers the total distance in 5 hours, find the speed of the truck.

Answer:

Since the speed can't be negative it was 60 km/h for the first stage and 80 km/h on the second stage, averaging 70 km/h for the whole course.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the truck for the first stage of the route is "x" km/h, while on the second one it raises to "x + 20" km/h. The time it takes to complete each stage is shown below:

t_{stage 1} = \frac{150}{x}\\t_{stage 2} = \frac{200}{x + 20}

The sum of these times must be equal to the total time of the trip, therefore:

t_{stage1} + t_{stage2} = 5

\frac{150}{x} + \frac{200}{x + 20} = 5\\\frac{150*(x + 20) + 200*x}{x(x + 20)} = 5\\150*x + 3000 + 200*x = 5*x*(x + 20)\\5*x^2 + 100*x - 350*x - 3000 = 0\\5*x^2 - 250*x - 3000 = 0\\x^2 - 50*x - 600 = 0\\x_{1,2} = \frac{-(-50) \pm \sqrt{(-50)^2 - 4*1*(-600)}}{2*1}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{50\pm \sqrt{2500 + 2400}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{50\pm \sqrt{4900}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{50 \pm 70}{2}\\x_{1} = 60\\x_{2} = -10

Since the speed can't be negative it was 60 km/h for the first stage and 80 km/h on the second stage, averaging 70 km/h for the whole course.

Which of the following is a binomial?. c2 + c + 6. c2 - 16. -8c. c3 + 4c2 - 12c + 7. Which of the following is a monomial?. c2 +
vlabodo [156]
A monomial has one term, binomial has two terms, trinomial has three terms, and a polynomial has four or more terms.

Therefore, in the first question, c2-16 is the binomial while -8c is the monomial in the second question.

Rafael races his bicycle for
pychu [463]
Distance traveled = 70 m
Number of rotations = 29

We know, Circumference * Number of rotations = Distance traveled
So, C = 70 / 29
C = 2.41 m

Now, we know, diameter = C / π
So, d = 2.41/3.14 = 0.768

In short, Your Answer would be: 0.8 m

Hope this helps!

Translate the following sentence into math symbols. Then solve the problem. Show your work and keep the equation balanced.
adell [148]

For this case we have to represent the following expression algebraically:

"10 less than x is -45"

So:

10 less than x is represented as: x-10

Then, the complete expression is represented as:

x-10 = -45

Adding 10 to both sides of the equation:

x = -45 + 10\\x = -35

Thus, the value of the variable is x = -35

Answer:

x = -35

Does the point (-2, 1) satisfy the inequality 6x + y &gt; -11?<br> YES OR NO
natali 33 [55]

No, the given point does not satisfy the inequality

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given inequality is 6x + y > -11

We have to find whether the point (-2, 1) satisfies the inequality

When we subsitute the given point into given inequality, values in both sides of inequality must satisfy the condition

Let us substitute the given point (x, y) = (-2, 1) in given inequality

6(-2) + 1 > -11

-12 + 1 > -11

-11 > -11 which is not true, Since -11 is equal to -11

So the given point does not satisfy the inequality
