Answer:
Scully will catch up with Mulder by 7:30 PM.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Mulder leaves the office at 9:30a.m. averaging 57mph.
Scully leaves at 10:00a.m., following the same path and averaging 60 mph.
Distance covered by Mulder between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM:
miles
Let t is the time taken by Scully to catch up with Mulder.
After leaving office Scully needs to cover extra distance of 28.5 miles because Mulder leaves the office earlier.
Therefore total distance cover by them is:
Hence, it would take 9 hours 30 minutes to catch up Mulder.
10 am + 9 hours 30 minutes = 7:30 pm
Therefore, Scully will catch up with Mulder by 7:30 PM.
<h3>Answer: -2w^2 + 25w = 25 or -2w^2 + 25w - 25 = 0</h3>
================================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below. The width is w. We have two opposite and parallel sides equal to this. The other two parallel congruent sides are L = 25-2w meters long. We start with the total amount of fencing, and then subtract off the two width values, so 25-w-w = 25-2w.
The area of the rectangle is
Area = length*width
Area = L*W
Area = (25-2w)*w
Area = 25w - 2w^2
Area = -2w^2 + 25w
Set this equal to the desired area (25 square meters) to get
-2w^2 + 25w = 25
and we can subtract 25 from both sides to get everything on one side
-2w^2 + 25w - 25 = 0
side note: The two approximate solutions of this equation are w = 1.0961 and w = 11.4039 (use the quadratic formula or a graphing calculator to find this)
