A man starts on a 290 mile trip at 10 a.m. and drives at an average speed of 40 mph until he stops for lunch. After he stops one

-half hour for lunch, he finds that he must drive the rest of the way at an average speed of 50mph if he is to arrive by 5pm. When did he stop for lunch? Please show work, trying to understand how to work this problem.

Answer:

1:30pm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can derive the following equation:

1. Total time for the Journey was 7hours(10am-5pm) but the effective hours for the journey is 6.5hours(when we take out the lunch time).

So the combined time spent - before and after lunch, is x+y=6.5

x=time spent before lunch

y=time spent after lunch

2. The assumed distance traveled before lunch is 40x while assumed distance after lunch is 50y; but the total distance should equal 290.

So,

40x+50y=290

This gives us a simultaneous equation:

x+y=6.5

40x+50y=290

(Using substitution)

40x+50(6.5-x)=290....(curled from x+y=6.5)

40x+325-50x=290....(solving the parenthesis first)

325-50x+40x=290

325-10x=290 (add 10x to both sides)

325-10x+10x=290+10x

325=290+10x (subtract 290 from both sides)

325-290=290+10x-290

35=10x (divide both sides by 10)

3.5=x

Since x is the time spent before lunch(in hours), we can then add 3 and half hours to 10am

10am +3.5hours= 1:30pm

Hence, the man stopped for lunch at 1:30pm

Answer:

1:30pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Start Time: 10:00am

Start Speed: 40MPH

Time for Lunch: 30minutes

Arrival Time: 5:00pm

Ending Speed: 50MPH

Total Miles: 290miles

Find Total Time Taken:

5pm - 10am = 7 hours

7 hours - 30 minutes (lunch) = 6.5 hours of travel

Create Equations:

Distance = Speed x Time

Finding Total Numbers of Miles Traveled

Miles = SpeedBefore x TimeBefore + SpeedAfter x TimeAfter

290(Miles) = 40(mph) x E + 50(mph) x Y

290 = 40E + 50A

Finding Time Traveled Before and After the lunch break

Note: It is based on duration in hours

Total Time = Time Before + Time After + Lunch Time

7 hours = E + Y + .5 hours

7 = E + Y + .5

Solve for Y

7 = Y + E + .5

6.5 = Y + E

6.5 - E = Y

Use Substitution in second equation to solve for E

290 = 40E + 50Y

290 = 40E + 50(6.5 - E)

290 = 40E + (325 - 50E)

290 = 40E + 325 - 50E

290 = -10E + 325

-35 = -10E

10E = 35

E = 3.5 hours, time traveled before lunch

Note: The following is unnecessary

Solve for Y, Again

Y = 6.5 - E

Y = 6.5 - 3.5

Y = 3 hours, time traveled after lunch

So the man traveled for 3.5 hours and then ate lunch. Then he traveled for 3 more hours.

So...

10am + 3.5 hours = 1:30pm - the time when he ate lunch

A cylinder is filled with 900 liters of water.find the area of its base if height of cylinder is 20dm.
Lisa [10]
The formula of the volume of a cylinder:

V=\pi r^2H\\\\where:\\\\r-a\ radius\\H-a\ height\\\pi r^2-an\ area\ of\ base

We have:

V=900\ liters\\1L=1dm^3\ therefore\ V=900L=900dm^3

and

H=20\ dm

substitute:

\pi r^2\cdot20=900\ \ \ |:20\\\\\pi r^2=45\ dm^2

Answer: The area of a base of the cylinder is equal 45 dm².

) Evaluating a polynomial limit analytically You should have learned by now the process for finding the derivative of a polynomi
wolverine [178]

Answer:

This code or is program to find a given value of derivative of  a polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know already how to apply or make the procedures mathematically talking so this short program will eventually help you how to find logic.

// libraries

#include <stdio.h>

#include <conio.h>

//use to control floating elements

float poly(float a[], int, float);

//main

int main()

{

// Enter the degree of polynomial equation

float x, a[10], y1;

int deg, i;

printf("Enter the degree of polynomial equation: ");

scanf("%d", &deg);

printf("Ehter the value of x for which the equation is to be evaluated: ");

// Enter the coefficient of x to the power

scanf("%f", &x);

for(i=0; i<=deg; i++)

{

 printf("Enter the coefficient of x to the power %d: ",i);

 scanf("%f",&a[i]);

}

// The value of polynomial equation for the value of x

y1 = poly(a, deg, x);

 

printf("The value of polynomial equation for the value of x = %.2f is: %.2f",x,y1);

 

return 0;

}

/* function for finding the value of polynomial at some value of x */

float poly(float a[], int deg, float x)

{

float p;

int i;

 

p = a[deg];

 

for(i=deg;i>=1;i--)

{

 p = (a[i-1] + x*p);

}

 

return p;

}

Please help!! A scale on a hiking map shows at 3 inches represents 1.25 miles. What number of inches on the map represents 10 ac
Semenov [28]

Answer:

24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion:

3 inches/1.25 miles = x inches/10 miles

Then cross multiply

30=1.25x

Divide 1.25 on both sides

x=24
