Answer: Leanna ran 39.96 miles before she was passed by Irina.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Irina would pass Leanna, they would have ran the same distance.

Let t represent the time that Leanna ran before she was passed by Irina.

Distance = speed × time

Leanna started in group E and ran at a rate of 4.8 miles per hour. The distance ran by Leanna before she was passed by Irina is

4.8 × t = 4.8t

During the race she was passed by Irina who ran at a rate of 5 miles per hour and started in group H, 20 minutes(20/60 = 0.333 hour) after Leanna started. The time spent by Irina in running this distance is

t - 0.333

Distance ran by Irina is

5(t - 0.333) = 5t - 1.665

Since they ran the same distance, then

4.8t = 5t - 1.665

5t - 4.8t = 1.665

0.2t = 1.665

t = 1.665/0.2 = 8.325 hours

Therefore, the distance that Leanna ran before she was passed by Irina is

4.8 × 8.325 = 39.96 miles

Solve the equation for exact solutions over the interval​ [0, 2π​).
quester [9]

Answer:

\displaystyle x=\left\{0, \frac{2\pi}{3}, \frac{4\pi}{3}\right\}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equation:

-2\cos^2(x)=-\cos(x)-1

Over the interval [0, 2π).

First, notice that this is in quadratic form. So, to make things simpler, we can let <em>u</em> = cos(x). Substitute:

-2u^2=-u-1

Rearrange:

2u^2-u-1=0

Factor:

(2u+1)(u-1)=0

Zero Product Property:

2u+1=0\text{ or } u-1=0

Solve for each case:

\displaystyle u=-\frac{1}{2}\text{ or } u=1

Back-substitute:

\displaystyle \cos(x)=-\frac{1}{2}\text{ or } \cos(x)=1

Using the unit circle:

\displaystyle x=\left\{0, \frac{2\pi}{3}, \frac{4\pi}{3}\right\}
