The train travel 20 kilometers in the southward direction to reach its original location.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

First train travels east for 50 kilometers, then

Turns north and travels for 22 kilometers

It goes west for 50 kilometers

Step:1

Let, A - Distance of train travels from its starting point in Eastern direction at pq point

B - Distance train travels in northward direction at qr point

C - Distance of train travels in western direction at rs point

D - Distance of train travels in southward direction to reach its starting location at sp point

Step:2

Refer the attachment,

Distance of travel in northward direction and distance of travel in southward direction are equal.

qr = sp.............. (1) ( ∵ Eqn (1) from the Diagram)

20 km = 20 km

sp = 20 km

Result:

So, the distance of train travel to reach its original location in southward direction is 20 km.

Answer:

to find the missing number, compare both sides of the equation. If the variable terms are the same and the constant terms are different, then the equation has no solutions.

Find the equation of the parabola that passes through

valentinak56 [21]

so we have the points of (0,-7),(7,-14),(-3,-19), let's plug those in the y = ax² + bx + c form, since we have three points, we'll plug each one once, thus a system of three variables, and then we'll solve it by substitution.

$\bf \begin{array}{cccllll} \stackrel{\textit{point (0,-7)}}{-7=a(0)^2+b(0)+c}& \stackrel{point (7,-14)}{-14=a(7)^2+b(7)+c}& \stackrel{point (-3,-19)}{-19=a(-3)^2+b(-3)+c}\\\\ -7=c&-14=49a+7b+c&-19=9a-3b+c \end{array}$

well, from the 1st equation, we know what "c" is already, so let's just plug that in the 2nd equation and solve for "b".

$\bf -14=49a+7b-7\implies -7=49a+7b\implies -7-49a=7b \\\\\\ \cfrac{-7-49a}{7}=b\implies \cfrac{-7}{7}-\cfrac{49a}{7}=b\implies -1-7a=b$

well, now let's plug that "b" into our 3rd equation and solve for "a".

$\bf -19=9a-3b-7\implies -12=9a-3b\implies -12=9a-3(-1-7a) \\\\\\ -12=9a+3+21a\implies -15=9a+21a\implies -15=30a \\\\\\ -\cfrac{15}{30}=a\implies \blacktriangleright -\cfrac{1}{2}=a \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{and since we know that}}{-1-7a=b}\implies -1-7\left( -\cfrac{1}{2} \right)=b\implies -1+\cfrac{7}{2}=b\implies \blacktriangleright \cfrac{5}{2}=b \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill y=-\cfrac{1}{2}x^2+\cfrac{5}{2}x-7~\hfill$
