You drive from your home to a vacation resort 420 miles away. You return on the same highway. The average velocity on the return

trip is 15 miles per hour slower than the average velocity on the outgoing trip. Express the total time required to complete the round​ trip, T, as a function of the average velocity on the outgoing​ trip, x.

<h2>Time required to complete the round​ trip T=\frac{420}{x}+\frac{420}{(x-15)} where x is average velocity on the outgoing​ trip.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let average velocity of outgoing trip = x mph

The average velocity on the return trip is 15 miles per hour slower than the average velocity on the outgoing trip.

Average velocity of return trip = (x-15) mph

Distance to vacation place = 420 miles

Distance to vacation place = Time for outgoing trip x average velocity of outgoing trip

          420=t_1\times x\\\\t_1=\frac{420}{x}

Distance to vacation place = Time for return trip x average velocity of return trip

          420=t_2\times (x-15)\\\\t_2=\frac{420}{(x-15)}  

We have total time T = t₁ + t₂

That is

                     T=\frac{420}{x}+\frac{420}{(x-15)}

Time required to complete the round​ trip T=\frac{420}{x}+\frac{420}{(x-15)} where x is average velocity on the outgoing​ trip.

Which statement is true about the function f(x)= squared root negative x?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
The answer is the first option: it has the same domain as the function f(x) = - √(-x).

The domain is the set of x-values for which the function is defined.

The square root function is defined only for zero and positve values.

- x is positive when x negative.

So the domain for - √(-x) and √(-x) are the same: x less than or equal to zero.

two lines intersect.One has gradient 4 and y-axis intercept 3. The other has gradient 6 and cuts the y-axis at (0,1). What is th
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(1, 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Then the equations of the 2 lines are

y = 4x + 3 → (1)

y = 6x + 1 → (2)

Substitute y = 6x + 1 into (1)

6x + 1 = 4x + 3 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x + 1 = 3 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2x = 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y

Substituting into (1)

y = 4(1) + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

Point of intersection = (1, 7 )

Three pumps can remove a total of 1700 gallons of water per minute from a flooded mineshaft. If engineers want to remove at leas
lesya [120]

In total, they would need 4 pumps. If we divide 55 by 17, we get just more than 3. This little more would need an entire pump. So the answer 4 total, 3 added

What is the sum of 5.3 x 10 to the fifth power and 3.8 x 10 to the fourth power in scientific notation
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:5.6 x 10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

When ever we hear sum, what comes to our mind must be addition

Here we are Adding 5.3 x 10 to the fifth power= 5.3 x 10^5 to

3.8 x 10 to the fourth power = 3.8 x 10^4

First,

Expanding the scientific notation we have that

5.3 x 10^5 = 530,000

3.8 x 10^4=     38,000

Add           = 568,000

Putting back in Scientific notation  we have 568000 = 5.6 x 10^5
