Mark and Zoe are hiking a trail. Mark starts before Zoe. The expression 2t + 100 represents how far, in meters, Mark has hiked t

seconds after Zoe starts, and 2t represents how far Zoe has hiked t seconds after starting. Is there a time during the hike when Mark and Zoe have hiked the same distance? Explain.

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance hiked of Mark is represented by 2*t + 100

and the distance hiked of Zoe is represented by 2*t

here, you can see that the slope of both equations is equal, this means that in the same lapse of time, Zoe and Mark displace the same amount, but because Mark started earlier, he has a y-intercept bigger than zero, so for every value of t, the distance that Mark hiked will be higher than the one of Zoe.

We can represent this by:

2*t + 100 > 2*t

100 > 0

So the distance hiked by Mark is always bigger than the one of Zoe

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mark distance in t seconds = 2t + 100

Zoe distance in t seconds = 2t

Velocity = distance/time

Therefore from the above equation,

Mark's velocity = 2 m/s

Zoe's velocity = 2 m/s

Distance covered by Mark = distance covered by Zoe

2t + 100 = 2t

If they both move at the same velocity but Mark starts 100 m before zoe. Therefore, there is no the same time that both will hike the same distance.

Mark will always be 100 m ahead of Zoe.

Suppose you have a $15 coupon that can be used on any purchase over $100 at your favorite clothing store. The discounted price o
victus00 [196]
Given that a coupon for $15 off will be applied on purchases over $100, the given discounted price of the jacket is $203. Since this is the discounted price, then it should be the price after the coupon has been used. To find the retail (or original) price, we simply add 15 back to 203. So the retail price should be $218.

A piece of wire 23 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

For maximum area, all of the wire should be used to construct the square.

The minimum total area is obtained when length of the wire is 10m

Step-by-step explanation:

For maximum,  we use the whole length

For minimum,

supposed the x length was used for the square,

the length of the side of the square = x/4m

Area = \frac{x^{2} }{16}

For the equilateral triangle, the length of the side =  \frac{23 - x}{3}

Area = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}  a^{2}  = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (\frac{23 - x}{3} )^{2}

Total Area = \frac{x^{2} }{16}  + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{36} (23-x)^{2}

\frac{dA}{dx}  = \frac{x}{8}  -  \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} (23 - x)\\

\frac{d^{2}A }{dx^{2} }  = \frac{1}{8}  + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18}  > 0, therefore it is minimum

\frac{dA}{dx}  = 0 \\\\

\frac{x}{8}  -  \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} (23 - x) = 0\\

x = 10.00m

the temperature in an experiment is increased at a constant rate over a period of time until the temperature reaches 0 degrees c
dsp73

Answer:

x = 28 (So it takes 28 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C.)

y = -70 (So the temperature when the experiment begins is −70°C.)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the the x value, you remove the y value or replace it with 0.

0 = 5/2x - 70

Next you move the variable.

70 (2/5) = x           (multiply 70 by 2 to get 140 and divide that by 5)

And now you simplify to get:

28

To find the y value, you remove the x value or replace it with 0.

y =  0 - 70

And now you simplify to get:

-70

x = 28

y = -70
