4 0

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find how far ahead Marshall was.  Since he had been biking at 20 mph for one hour, he had gone 20 miles.

Next, we need to find how long it will take Brett to catch up to Marshall.  In order to do this, we need to find how much faster Brett is going than Marshall.  We do this by subtracting Marshall's speed from Brett's speed.

60 - 20 = 40.  So, Brett is catching up to Marshall at 40 mph.  Now, we figure out how long it will take for someone going 40 miles per hour to go 20 miles.  We find this by dividing 40 miles per hour by 20.  This is equal to 1/2 hour.  So, it will take Brett 0.5 hours to catch up to Marshall.  This is the same as A, so A is the correct answer.

We can check our answer by seeing how far Marshall and Brett will have gone.  Marshall will have been biking for 1.5 hours, so we multiply 20 * 1.5 = 30.  Marshall went 30 miles.

Brett drove for .5 hours at 60 mph, so he went 30 miles.  Since Brett and Marshall went the same distance, our answer is correct.

What is the x-intercepts of the graph of y = 12x-5x-2
hammer [34]
Y = 12x - 5x - 2

first simplify the equation by subtracting like terms (in this case):

12x - 5x = 7x

y = 7x - 2

Since you are finding the x, you must isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.(Note: because there is a equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other)

y = 7x - 2

y (+2) = 7x - 2 (+2)
y + 2 = 7x
(y + 2)/7 = 7x/7

x = (y + 2)/7


x = (y + 2)/7 is your answer

hope this helps

webassign If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 6 cm2/min, find the rate at which the diameter dec
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The answer is \frac{3}{10\pi }  cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the snowball is a perfect sphere, then if A denotes the surface area and D the diameter then:

A=4\pi r^{2} = 4\pi (\frac{D}{2} )^{2} =\pi  D^{2}

Differentiating wrt r we have:

\frac{dA}{dD} =2\pi D

We are told that \frac{dA}{dt}= -6 and we want to find \frac{dD}{dt}

By the chain rule we have:

\frac{dA}{dD}=\frac{dA}{dt}.\frac{dt}{dD}=\frac{\frac{dA}{dt} }{\frac{dD}{dt} }

∴2\pi D=-\frac{6}{\frac{dD}{dt} }

∴\frac{dD}{dt}=-\frac{6}{2\pi D}

When D=10 then

\frac{dD}{dt} =-\frac{6}{10*2\pi } =-\frac{3}{10\pi }

The sign (-) shows that the D is decreasing.
