Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = rate times time, so

           

           distance

time = --------------

               rate

Here the distance is 40 km and the rate is x.  Then

              40 km

time = --------------  =  (40/x) hr

             x km/hr

If the speed is reduced by 2 km/hr, we get:

              40 km                                            40 km                  40

time = -------------------------------  or time = ----------------------- = --------- hr

             (x km/hr - 2 km/hr)                      (x - 2) (km/hr)       x - 2

The difference between the times is:

 40          40

-------- - --------- = 1 hr          Solve this for the original speed, x

x - 2         x

40x - 40x + 80                                80

-----------------------  =  1 hr     or     ------------ = 1     or 80 = x^2 - 2x

     x(x - 2)                                     x(x - 2)

Rewriting this in standard quadratic form:  x^2 - 2x - 80 = 0

Here a = 1, b = -2 and c = -80, and so the discriminant b^2 - 4ac is:

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-80) = 324

The solutions are:

   

      -(-2) ± √324       2 ± 18

x = -------------------- = ------------ = 1 ± 9, or 10 (discard the other root)

              2                      2

The original speed was 10 km/hr

5x is equal to 8X raise to power - 1/3​
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

No solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x = 8x^-1/3

Divide 8 into both sides.

5/8x = x^-1/3

Divide both sides by x.

5/8 = x^-4/3

Multiply both sides by the exponent -3/4.

5/8^-3/4 = x

1.422624 = x

Plug in 1.422624 for x to check.

It does not work. There are no real solutions.

What is the y-intercept of function f?
Andru [333]

Answer:

y intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=5•(1/6)^x

The y intercept is when x =0

Let x =0

f(0)=5•(1/6)^0      

= 5* 1     = 5

The y intercept is 5

If the question is

f(x)=5•(1/6)x

although I have never seen the question written this way

The y intercept is when x =0

Let x =0

f(0)=5•(1/6)0      

= 5* 0     = 0

The y intercept is 0

It costs $60 per hour to rent a jet ski. The total cost of a jet ski rental
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

y = 60x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of hours that we ski is a variable cost where each hour costs $60. On top of that, we have a fixed cost of $20 which stays the same no matter how long we ski.

So we can use an equation to find the totla cost C given the number of hours t as follows:

C(t) = 60t + 20

We can use this equation to find the cost of a skiing session by plugging in some value for t. For example, if we ski for 3 hours:

C(3) = 60(3) + 20 = $200

The equation can also be written using x and y and mean the same thing.
