Two trains left the cities A and B at the same time and headed towards each other. The cities are s miles apart. The first train

was traveling at the speed of v1 mph. The second train was traveling at the speed of v2 mph. After t hours the two trains met each other. Find the formula for t in terms of s,v1 and v2. Then find the value of t if: s=310, v1 = 75, v2 = 80

The formula of t in terms of s , v_{1} , v_{2} is

t=\frac{s}{(v_{1}+v_{2})}

The value of t  when s = 310 , v_{1} = 75 , v_{2} = 80 is 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Two trains left the cities A and B at the same time and headed towards

each other

  • The cities are s miles apart
  • The first train was traveling at the speed of v_{1} mph
  • The second train was traveling at the speed of v_{1} mph
  • After t hours the two trains met each other

∵ The cities are s miles apart

∵ After t hours the two trains met each other

∴ s = s_{1} + s_{2}, where s_{1} is the

   distance that the 1st train moved in t hours and s_{2}

    is the distance that the 2nd train moved in t hours

∵ s = v t

∴ s_{1} = v_{1} t

∴ s_{2} = v_{2} t

- Substitute them in the equation of s

∴ s = v_{1} t + v_{2} t

- Take t as a common factor in the right hand side

∴ s = t ( v_{1} + v_{2} )

- Divide both sides by ( v_{1} + v_{2} )

∴ t=\frac{s}{(v_{1}+v_{2})}

The formula of t in terms of s , v_{1} , v_{2} is

t=\frac{s}{(v_{1}+v_{2})}

∵ s = 310 m/h

∵ v_{1} = 75 m/h

∵ v_{2} = 80 m/h

- Substitute these values in the formula of t above

∴ t=\frac{310}{(75+80)}=\frac{310}{155}

∴ t = 2 hours

The value of t  when s = 310 , v_{1} = 75 , v_{2} = 80 is 2 hours

A club began with 3 members. Each month, each member brought one new member. Which function can be used to determine the number
erastova [34]

In x th month, members =  3^{2x}. Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Initially number of members = 3

Every month each member brought 1 new member.

To find the number of members after x months.

<u>Solution:</u>

In 1st month, members = 3

In 2nd month, members = 3×3 = 9 = 3²

In 3rd month, members = 9×9 = 81 = 3^{4}

In 4th month, members = 81×81 = 81 = 6561 = 3^{8}

Hence,

In x th month, members =  3^{2x}
