A train traveling nonstop to its destination is able to make the trip at an average speed of 70 miles per hour. On the return tr

ip, the train makes several stops and is only able to average 40 miles per hour. If the return trip takes three hours longer than the initial trip to the destination, then what is the travel time for the return trip? Specify the units in your answer!

Answer:

Return trip travel time: 7h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the distance.

Index 1 refers to initial trip, index 2 refers to the return trip.

v1=70mi/h

v2=40mi/h

t2=t1+3h, or t1=t2-3h (travel times)

d=v1×t1=v2×t2

v1×(t2-3)=v2×t2

v1 t2 -3 v1=v2 t2

v1 t2 - v2 t2=3 v1

t2(v1-v2)=3v1

t2=3v1/(v1-v2)

Or

t2=3×70/(70-40)=3×70/30=7h

If sin0=2/3 find the values of the other five trigonometric functions of 0.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

See image

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps a lot to draw a triangle. Sin is OPPOSITE/ HYPOTENUSE. You can use Pythagorean thm to find the third side. Then use cos = ADJ/HYP

tan = OPP/HYP

Then, find reciprocal functions. Reciprocal just means you are flipping the ratios over.

csc = HYP/OPP

sec = HYP/ADJ

tan = ADJ/OPP

The only tricky remaining part is that you cant leave a radical (the square root symbol) on the bottom of a ratio. So you have to fix those. See image.

Determine the volume of the solid that lies between planes perpendicular to the x-axis at x=0 and x=4. The cross sections perpen
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Volume = 16 unit^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Solid lies between planes x = 0 and x = 4.

- The diagonals rum from curves y = sqrt(x)  to  y = -sqrt(x)

Find:

Determine the Volume bounded.

Solution:

- First we will find the projected area of the solid on the x = 0 plane.

                              A(x) = 0.5*(diagonal)^2

- Since the diagonal run from y = sqrt(x) to y = -sqrt(x). We have,

                              A(x) = 0.5*(sqrt(x) + sqrt(x) )^2

                              A(x) = 0.5*(4x) = 2x

- Using the Area we will integrate int the direction of x from 0 to 4 too get the volume of the solid:

                              V = integral(A(x)).dx

                              V = integral(2*x).dx

                               V = x^2

- Evaluate limits 0 < x < 4:

                               V= 16 - 0 = 16 unit^3

The function f(x) = –x2 − 2x + 15 is shown on the graph. What are the domain and range of the function? The domain is all real n
Burka [1]

Answer:

The domain is all real numbers. The range is {y|y ≤ 16}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of a parabola is given by

(\frac{-b}{2a}, \frac{4ac-b^2}{4a}).

As a = -1, b = -2, c= 15 here, then the vertex is at (1,16).

As a is negative, it opens downward, so the range is  {y|y ≤ 16}.

Meanwhile, all parabolic functions have a domain of \mathbb{R}.

A rollercoasterbrises 210 feet into the air, drops 240 feet, rises 80 feet before dropping another 30 feet again. Finally the ro
professor190 [17]

Answer:

-30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

The rollercoaster first rose 210 feet, so after rise 1, the height is +210 feet.

After that, it dropped 240 feet. This is greater than the 210 feet it initially rose, so the number is now negative. The height is now -30 feet.

210 - 240 = -|240-210| = -|30| = -30 feet

After that, it rose another 80 feet. That outdoes the eariler -30 feet, so we're back to a positive height. After that rise, the height is now +50 feet.

-30 + 80 = |80 - 30| = |50| = 50 feet

Then the last two drops combine for a 80-foot drop. This is greater than the +50-foot height it was at, so we're back at -30 feet.

50 - 80 -|80 - 50| = -|30| = -30 feet after the last drop

How would I rewrite this?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

-The answer is y^2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide numbers/variables with exponents, the exponents will subtract each other:

\frac{y^5}{y^3} =y^2
