Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of cyclist be C and bus be B.

Using the concept of relative speed:-

For incoming bus,speed = B + C

For overtaking bus,speed = B - C

Now,distance travelled b/w 2 incoming bus = (B + C)*4

Now,distance travelled b/w 2 overtaking bus = (B - C)*12

so,

(B + C)*4 = (B - C)*12

or, B=2C

Hence,distance b/w two buses in same direction,d=4*(3/2)B=6 B

Therefore, time gap=d/B=6 minutes

A polygon is regular if each of its sides has the same length. Find the perimeter of the regular polygon. #36
vazorg [7]
Take the length of one of the sides and times that by the radius. Divide that answer by 2. Now take that and multiply by the number of sides the polygon has. If you can't find the radius or side, you're going to have to use tan, sin, or cos.

A baseball player hits a pitched ball when it is 4 ft above the ground. The initial upward velocity is 80 ft/s. How
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

t=+4.06

Step-by-step explanation:

when the baseball hits the ground, the height will be 0.

h=0we are given that h=−16t2+64t+4.

this means that the height is 0 when −16t2+64t+4=0.−16t2+64t+4=0divide both sides by 4:−4t2+16t+1=04=0−4t2+16t+1=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula:t=−b±√b2−4ac2a, where at2+bt+c=0.at2+bt+c=−4t2+16t+1a=−4,b=16,c=1t=−b+√b2−4ac2aor−b−√b2−4ac2a−b+√b2−4ac2a=−16+√272−8=−0.06..−b−√b2−4ac2a=−16−√272−8=4.06 (3s.f.)we have 2 values for t:−0.06 and 4.06.

since time cannot be negative, only the positive value can be taken.

this is 4.06, to 3 significant figures.the time taken is 4.06 seconds.

Simplify the expression (3 - 4i)(1 + 5i) - (2 - i). Show your work please! I have the answer: 21 + `12i but I need to show my wo
masha68 [24]

Answer:

21+12i i hope this will help you

Step-by-step explanation:

(3-4i)(1+5i)-(2-i)

=[3(1+5i)-4i(1+5i)]-(2-i)

=[3+15i-4i-20i²]-(2-i)

=(3+11i-20i²)-(2-i)

opening brackeys

=3+11i-20i²-2+i

=3+11i+1i-20i²-2

as we know that i²=-1

=3-20(-1)-2+12i

=3+20-2+12i

=21+12i
