Answer:

The first train travels at 58 mph and the second train travels at 203 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first train left Miami at 3:00 PM.

The second train left Miami at 8:00 PM.

Let the speed of the first train be x.

The second train travels 145 mph faster than the first, that is 145 + x

The second train overtakes the first at 10:00 PM

This means that at 10:00 PM, they were both at the same location.

That is 7 hours after the first train left and 2 hours after the second train left.

Speed is given as:

s = d / t

where d = distance traveled and t = time taken

For the first train, after 7 hours traveling at speed x:

x = d / 7

=> d = 7x _______(1)

For the second train, after 2 hours, traveling at speed 145 + x:

145 + x= d / 2

=> d = 290 + 2x ____(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

7x = 290 + 2x

=> 7x - 2x = 290

5x = 290

=> x = 290/5 = 58 mph

Therefore, the first train travels at 58 mph and the second train travels at 203 mph (58 + 145)

What is the area of this quadrilateral
sammy [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's work out the two triangles:

Area of triangle: bxh/2

2 x 8/2 = 8

Because there is two triangles multiply 8 by 2 = 16

To work out the area of the central rectangle:

Area of rectangle: l x w

3 x 8 = 24

Add 16+24 = 40 square feet

I need help please, i dont understand

Answer:

  (a)  none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest exponent in the function shown is 2. That makes it a 2nd-degree function, also called a quadratic function. The graph of such a function is a parabola -- a U-shaped curve.

The coefficient of the highest-degree term is the "leading coefficient." In this case, that is the coefficient of the x² term, which is 1. When the leading coefficient of an even-degree function is positive, the U curve has its open end at the top of the graph. We say it "opens upward." (When the leading coefficient is negative, the curve opens downward.)

This means the bottom of the U is the minimum value the function has. For a quadratic in the form ax²+bx+c, the horizontal location of the minimum on the graph is at x=-b/(2a). This extreme point on the curve is called the "vertex."

This function has a=1, b=1, and c=3. The minimum of the function is where ...

  x = -b/(2·a) = -1/(2·1) = -1/2

This value is not listed among the answer choices, so the correct choice for this function is ...

  none of the above

__

The attached graph of the function confirms that the minimum is located at x=-1/2

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

When you're studying quadratic functions, there are few formulas that you might want to keep handy. The formula for the location of the vertex is one of them.
