Two cyclists, 55 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 5 miles per hour faster than the other

, and they meet after 5 hours of riding.
a. Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem. Use the variable r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist.

b. What are the speeds of the two cyclists?

Answer:

r = 6 mph and f = 11 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Representations:  

1) speed of faster cyclist:  f = r + 5

2) speed of slower cyclist:  r

Distances covered:

(r + 5)(5 hr) + r(5) = 55 mi (total distance covered)

Then 5r + 25 + 5r = 55, or, after reducing this equation:

r + 5 + r = 11, or

2r = 6

Then r = 6 mph and f = 11 mph

Cos ( α ) = √ 6/ 6 and sin ( β ) = √ 2/4 . Find tan ( α − β )
Zina [86]

Answer:

\purple{ \bold{ \tan( \alpha  -  \beta ) = 1.00701798}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\cos( \alpha ) =  \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{6}  =  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{6} }  \\  \\  \therefore \:  \sin( \alpha )  =  \sqrt{1 -  { \cos}^{2} ( \alpha ) }  \\  \\  =  \sqrt{1 -  \bigg( {\frac{1}{ \sqrt{6} } \bigg )}^{2} }  \\  \\ =  \sqrt{1 -  {\frac{1}{ {6} }}}  \\  \\ =  \sqrt{ {\frac{6 - 1}{ {6} }}}   \\  \\  \red{\sin( \alpha ) =  \sqrt{ { \frac{5}{ {6} }}} } \\  \\  \tan( \alpha ) =  \frac{\sin( \alpha ) }{\cos( \alpha ) }  =  \sqrt{5}  \\  \\ \sin( \beta )  =  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{4}  \\  \\  \implies \: \cos( \beta )  =   \sqrt{ \frac{7}{8} }  \\  \\ \tan( \beta )  =  \frac{\sin( \beta ) }{\cos( \beta ) } =  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} }   \\  \\  \tan( \alpha  -  \beta ) =  \frac{ \tan \alpha  -  \tan \beta }{1 +  \tan \alpha .  \tan \beta}  \\  \\  =  \frac{ \sqrt{5} -  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} }  }{1 +  \sqrt{5} . \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} } }  \\  \\  =  \frac{ \sqrt{35} - 1 }{ \sqrt{7}  +  \sqrt{5} }  \\  \\  \purple{ \bold{ \tan( \alpha  -  \beta ) = 1.00701798}}

The next model of a sports car will cost 4.7% more than the current model. The current model costs $48,000. How much will the pr
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

increase - $2256

price - $50256

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the percent (in decimal form) by the original cost

48000(0.47)=2256

the increase is $2256

to find the price of it, add the two prices together.

48000+2256=50256
