Let y be train 1 and x train 2

y= 60mph+x

8-4 = 4 hours

((60+x)+x)4=(x+2)

(60+2x)4=(x+2)

There are 48 female performers in a dance recital. The ratio of men to women is 5:6. How many men are in the dance recital?

Rainbow [258]

Since you said men to women, there are 5 men in the dance recital and 6 women in the dance recital.

1. Look how the problem states. Ex: Ratio of men to women.

2. Look at the ratio. 5:48.

3. We know that there are 48 female performers at the dance recital.

So, there are 5 men at the dance recital.

Problem PageQuestion The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate paramet

asambeis [7]

Answer:

<em>t = 1.51</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Model</u>

The exponential model is often used to simulate the behavior of a magnitude that either grow or decay in proportion to the existing amount of that magnitude.

The model can be expressed as

$M=M_oe^{kt}$

In this case, Mo is the initial mass of the radioactive substance and k is a constant which value is positive if the mass is growing or negative if the mass is decaying.

The value of k is not precisely given in the question, we are assuming $k=-0.2$

The model is now

$M=M_oe^{-0.2t}$

We are required to compute the time it takes the mass to reach one-half of its initial value:

$\displaystyle \frac{M_o}{2}=M_oe^{-0.2t}$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}=e^{-0.2t}$

Taking logarithms

$\displaystyle ln\frac{1}{2}=ln(e^{-0.2t})=-0.2t$

Solving for t

$\displaystyle t=-\frac{ln\frac{1}{2}}{0.2}=1.51$

<h3>Answer:</h3>

b. The side length of a cube is dependent on the volume.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The function definition V(s) means the volume (V) is dependent upon the side length (s), <em>not the other way around</em>.
