The answer is C. 2 hours and 15 minutes. Please refer to the attached document to see the image for better understanding of solution.

Philadelphia = Point A
Pittsburgh = Point B
X = distance traveled by Michelle
(305-X) = distance traveled by Rich

The general formula used is:

distance = velocity(time)
s = v(t)

Assigning values gives 2 equations:

For Michelle: X = 65(t)
For Rich: (305-X) = 70(t)

Substituting both equations gives:

X = 146.852 miles
t = 2.26 hours or approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes

Factor completely<br> n^4 +8n^2 + 15 =
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The factor form is n^4+8n^2+15 = \quad \left(n^2+3\right)\left(n^2+5\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

When it is required to factor the expression given in the problem, we have to first find a common term or terms, which will be found by either grouping the like terms or the splitting of the terms.

Now the expression that is given here is:

n^4 +8n^2 + 15

Now, here we will take:

u=n^2

Thus we will get:

n^4 +8n^2 + 15\\=u^2+8u+15

Now we will do the middle term split as follows:

u^2+8u+15\\=\left(u^2+3u\right)+\left(5u+15\right)\\=u\left(u+3\right)+5\left(u+3\right)\\=\left(u+3\right)\left(u+5\right)

Substituting back u=n^2 , we will have:

\left(u+3\right)\left(u+5\right)\\=\left(n^2+3\right)\left(n^2+5\right)

Hence, the required factor form of the given expression will be:

n^4+8n^2+15 = \quad \left(n^2+3\right)\left(n^2+5\right)

How to solve this???<br> e^(2x) - e^x = 6
Ray Of Light [21]
e^{2x}-e^x=6
(e^x)^2-e^x-6=0
(e^x-3)(e^x+2)=0

e^x=3
e^x=-2

therefore x=\ln3 and x=\ln-2
because \ln-2 doesn't exist, the only solution to your equation is x=\ln3

Find the equation of a parabola that opens up and has the following x intercepts (-3,0) and (4,0)
Elenna [48]

The equation of a parabola that opens up and has the following x intercepts (-3,0) and (4,0) is y=x^{2}-x-12

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

We have to find the equation of a parabola that opens up and has the following x intercepts (-3, 0) and (4, 0)

x-intercepts of the parabola are (−3, 0) and (4, 0)

So, we can form an equation:

Also x = 4

x – 4 = 0

x – 4 = 0 is another factor of quadratic equation.

The quadratic function is:

\begin{array}{l}{y=(x+3)(x-4)} \\\\ {y=x^{2}-4 x+3 x-12} \\\\ {y=x^{2}-x-12}\end{array}

Hence, the equation of the parabola is  y=x^{2}-x-12

What is the key difference between simple interest and compound interest, and how does this difference affect the effectiveness
stealth61 [152]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount of a loan so it is relatively easier to calculate than the compound interest.

The compound interest is calculated on the principle amount plus the interest that the amount gets per compounding period up to the period of the loan. In other words, in compound interest we get, interest on interest.

This difference between the both, is the reason, we get more money in compound interest than simple one.

Let us take an example-

Suppose the principle is = $5000

r = 5% or 0.05

t = 5 years

Simple interest formula is :

p\times r\times t

=> 5000\times0.05\times5=1250

So, total amount after 5 years will become = 5000+1250=6250 dollars.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lets check for compound interest where the interest is compounded annually.

p = $5000

r = 5% or 0.05

t = 5 years

n = 1

Compound interest formula is :

A=p(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

A=5000(1+\frac{0.05}{1} )^{5}

=>A=5000(1.05)^{5}

A = $6381.40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We can see that we are getting more money in compound interest than the simple interest, for the same amount and same time period.

5) Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation: 2(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 10 Given ⇒ 2(x − 4) + 6x = 9x − 10 Step 1 ⇒ 2x − 8
vlada-n [284]
<span>The answer to this question is Step 7.
                         Step 7 ⇒ −8 + 10 = x − 10 + 10
This is where 10 is being added to both sides. It is not Step 4 as that uses the Subtraction Property of Equality (which can be proved true by taking the addition of a negative number).
