Answer:

Bus speed:  22 mph; Trolley speed:  14 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let rb represent the speed of the bus and rt the speed of the trolley.  Then rb = rt + 8 (mph).

Recall that distance = rate times time.  Two different distances and two different speeds are involved here, but only one time.

Thus,

             60 mi                                                           44 mi

     --------------------- = time (same in both cases) = -------------

          rt + 8 mi/hr                                                        rt

Cross-multiplying, we get   44rt + 8(44) = 60 rt, or

                                                    352 = 16rt.

Solving this for rt, we get    rt = speed of bus = 352/16 = 22 mph

The speed at which the bus travels is 22 mph and that at which the trolley travels is (22 mph - 8 mph) = 14 mph

I need help in "Matlab' with how to "Create a column vector from 15 to -25 with a step size of 5"
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x=[15:-5:-25]'

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to create a vector you need to use this command:

x = [j:i:k]'

This creates a regularly-spaced vector x using i as the increment between elements. j is the initial value and k is the final value. Besides you need to add the character ' at the end in order to convert the arrow vector in a column vector

Find three solutions of the equation y = 7x – 5.
soldi70 [24.7K]
 y=7x-5 This is the same as saying y-7x = -5 Well easy. You just make up numbers that make this work. Let x be 1 y-7=-5 y=-5+7 y=2 So one ordered pair is (1,2) Let x=2 y-14=-5 y=9 So another ordered pair is (2,9) Let x=3 y-21=-5 y=-5+21 y=16 So another ordered pair is (3,16) 
hope it helps
