Pilar is playing with a motorized toy boat. She puts the boat in a lake and it travels 400m at a constant speed. On the way back

to Pilar, the boat travels the same route at the same speed for 2 minutes, and then Pilar uses the remote control to increase the boat's speed by 10 m/min. So the return trip is 60 seconds faster. How long does the return trip take?

Answer:

The trip normally takes 8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information states that the away distance the boat traveled = 400 m

The time traveled at the same initial  speed , v₁, by the boat on the way back = 2 minutes

The increase in speed of the boat by Pilar =  10 m/min

The new speed, v₂ = v₁ + 10

The time for the return trip, t₂ = 60 seconds (1 minute) faster than time for the trip, t₁

t₂ = t₁ - 1

Therefore we have;

v₁ × t₁ = v₁×2 + v₂×(t₂-2) = 400

v₁×2 + (v₁ + 10)×(t₂-2) = 400

(v₁ + 10)×t₂ - 20 = 400

But v₁ = 400/t₁ = 400/(t₂ + 1)

Which gives;

(400/(t₂ + 1) + 10)×t₂ - 20 = 400

10×(t₂²+ 36·t₂-2)/(t₂+1) = 400

10·t₂²+ 10·t₂-420 = 0

t₂²+ t₂-42 = 0

(t₂ - 7)(t₂ + 6) = 0

t₂ = 7 minutes or -6 minutes

Given that t₂ is a natural number, we have, t₂ = 7 minutes

Whereby, t₂ = t₁ - 1, we have;

7 =  t₁ - 1

t₁ = 1 + 7 = 8 Minutes

The trip normally takes 8 minutes

Show me the steps to solve and the solution y-2>1/2(x-2)
aev [14]
<span>y-2>1/2(x-2) can be expanded as follows:  y - 2 > (1/2)x - 1

Mult. all terms by 2 to remove the fractions:

2y - 4 > x - 2

Add 4 to both sides:   2y > x + 2

Div. both sides by 2:    y > (1/2)x + 1   (answer)</span>

How many planes contain each line and point?
nikitadnepr [17]

There are infinite many planes that contain each line and point

<h3>How to determine the number of planes?</h3>

The given parameters are given as:

  • Line KL and G
  • Line JI and G

As a general rule, a line and a point can be used to draw as many planes as possible

This means that there are infinite many planes possible

Hence, there are infinite many planes that contain each line and point
