Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading west and the other east. The westbound train travels 14 miles per hou

r slower than the eastbound train. If the two trains are 900 miles apart after 5 hours, what is the rate of the westbound train? Don't do any rounding. Urgent!

Answer:

The answer to your question is 166 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

ve = rate eastbound train

vw = rate westbound train = ve - 14

distance = d = 900 mi

time = t = 5 h

Formula

v = \frac{distance}{time} = \frac{d}{t}

Substitution and simplification

ve = \frac{900}{5} = 180 mi/h

Now, substitute this value in the equation of vw

vw = 180 - 14

Result

vw = 166 mi/h

Answer:

3.162 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First identify the points that undergo transformation

You have;

A = (0,0)   and B =(1,3)

The transformation is T: (x,y)= (x+2, y+1), this means to get the image you add the x coordinate of the object to 2, and the y coordinate to 1.

<u>Finding coordinates of the image points A' and B' </u>

A'= (0+2,0+1) = (2,1)

B'=(1+2, 3+1)=(3,4)

<u>Finding the distance A'B'</u>

The formula for distance d is

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

where

x₁=2

x₂=3

y₁=1

y₂=4

d=distance between two points

Applying the formula

d=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(4-1)^2} \\\\\\d=\sqrt{1^2+3^2} \\\\\\d=\sqrt{1+9} \\\\\\d=\sqrt{10} \\\\\\d=3.162

The distance A'B' is √10 =3.162 units

on our way to visit her parents Jennifer Drive 265 miles in 5 hours what is the average rate of speed in miles per hou
Setler79 [48]
The average speed would be 53 miles per hour, hope this helped, if you need me to explain then here is the way, so all you do is divide 265 by 5 and what I did to help make it faster was split 265 into 250 and 15 so 250 divided by 5 is 50 and 15 divided by 5 is 3 so 50 + 3 = 53!

Explain in a complete sentence how to tell the difference between the power of power and the power of product rule. Please help
german

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The power of a power rule is when power is raised to another power. (x^n)^m.  when you do this rule, you must multiply the exponents so, x^nm or x^n*m.

The product rule for exponents is used when there are multiple terms that are raised by an exponent that have the same base and ae being multiplied. x^3 * x^2. To solve this, you keep the base (x) and add the two exponents together (3 and 2) so, x^3+2 = x^5.

Hope this helped (:

The table represents an exponential function.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer (B) 2/3

Explanation: the multiplicative rate is the ratio of the values y(k)/y(k+1) (with k being the index).  This ratio must be the same for the function to be exponential. We can take y(2)/y(1) = 4/6 = 2/3.

We can use 2/3 to verify the remaining entries:

x=3: 4*2/3 = 8/3 = y(3)

x=4: (8/3)*(2/3)=16/9=y(3)
