Answer:

Let the speed of the train be x km/h.

Case 1:

Distance = 288 km

Speed = x km/h

Time = Distance/Speed

= 288/x h

Case 2:

Distance = 288 km

Speed = (x+4) km/h

Time = 288/x + 4 h

Since 288/x > 288/x + 4

288/x - 288/x+4 = 1

288[1/x - 1/x+4 ] = 1

[ x + 4 - x / x(x + 4) ] = 1/288

[4 / x^2 + 4x ] = 1/288

x^2 + 4x = 1152

x^2 + 4x - 1152 = 0

x^2 + 36x - 32x - 1152 = 0

x(x + 36) - 32(x + 36) = 0

(x + 36)(x - 32) = 0

x + 36 = 0 , x - 32 = 0

x = -36 , x = 32

x = -36 , rejected since speed cannot be negative.

Therefore , speed of the train = 32 km/h

Which graph models the solution set of 50x + 150y>1500?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

see attached diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

First, draw the dashed line 50x+150y=1500 (dashed because the inequality is without notion "or equal to"). You can do it finding x and y intercepts.

When x=0, then 150y=1500, y=10.

When y=0, then 50x=1500, x=30.

Connect points (0,10) and (30,0) to get needed dashed line.

Then determine which region (semiplane) you have to choose. Note that origin's coordinates  (0,0)  do not satisfy the inequality 50x + 150y>1500, because

50\cdot 0+150\cdot 0=0

This means that origin lies outside the needed region, so you have to choose the semiplane that do not contain origin (see attached diagram).

6 uses 1 1/4. To improper fraction 6 uses 5/4. Thus 1 will use 5/4 ×1/6= 5/24. Then 8 will use 8×5/24=5/3=1 2/3
