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

LenaWriter [7]

12a. First expressing as a fraction, Shan has 12/32 books from his favorite author, so:

12/32=3/8=0.375 books from his favorite author

12b. Because the decimal 0.375 isn't a periodical decimal, so it would be a terminating decimal.

Complete the table of ordered pairs for the linear y=2x-8
ExtremeBDS [4]

Given:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

The linear equation is:

y=2x-8

To find:

The values to complete the table of ordered pairs for the given linear equation.

Solution:

We have,

y=2x-8

Substituting x=0 in the given equation, we get

y=2(0)-8

y=0-8

y=-8

So, the value for first blank is -8.

Substituting y=-2 in the given equation, we get

-2=2x-8

-2+8=2x

\dfrac{6}{2}=x

3=x

So, the value for second blank is 3.

Substituting x=2 in the given equation, we get

y=2(2)-8

y=4-8

y=-4

So, the value for third blank is -4.

Therefore, the required complete table is:

     x           y

     0         -8

    3         -2

     2          -4
