A steam engine for pulling trains has wheels of diameter 1.5 metres.

Answer:

The wheel completed a total of 212 turns.

Step-by-step explanation:

A wheel has a circular form, therefore its length is given by the following formula:

length = 2*\pi*radius

Where radius is half the diameter. Applying the data from the problem to calculate the length of the wheel gives us:

length = 2*\pi*(\frac{1.5}{2})\\length = 1.5*\pi = 4.7124

Since the engine traveled a distance of 1000 metres and each turn of the wheel has 4.7124 metres, in order to calculate the number of turns the wheel made in that course we need to divide both numbers as shown below:

turns = \frac{1000}{4.7124} = 212.21

The wheel completed a total of 212 turns.

Kevin is 333 years older than Daniel. Two years ago, Kevin was 444 times as old as Daniel.
tia_tia [17]

Answer: the equations are

k = d + 33

k - 2 = 4(d-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Kevin be represented by k

Let the present age of Daniel be represented by d

Kevin is 33 years older than Daniel. This means that the expression for their current age is

k = d + 33

Two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel. This means that 2 will be subtracted from their present ages to depict two years ago. Therefore, Two years ago for Daniel will be d-2

Two years ago for Kevin will be k - 2

Remember that Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel two years ago, it becomes

k - 2 = 4(d-2)

9+10=19

1y+8y=9y

9y+10y=19y

19y=20y

The equations dont match.

Hence, the equation is false.

The value in cents of 4 quarters and x dimes is
Zina [86]
To add numbers, their units should be the same. We need first to convert the quarters and dimes into cents.
4 quarters is equal to 100 cents, while a dime is equal to 10 cents.
In formula, the answer would be 100+10x. ( x refers to the number of dimes)

Part 1
svetlana [45]

Answer:

A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.

B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.

Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).

To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:

12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:

12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.

4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.

(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.

4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.

x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.

It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!
