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.

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

1. If a bicycle wheel has a diameter of 15 in. How far will the wheel rotate in 10 rotations?​
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

150 pi inches or 471.239 inches traveled

Step-by-step explanation:

First, close your eyes, and think about the distance a bike travels after one rotation of the wheel.

You will come to the realization that a full rotation of the wheel makes you travel the circumference of the wheel

The formula for circumference is 2(pi)(r) or (pi)(diameter)

We are given diameter, so let's find distance traveled for one rotation

pi(15 inches) = 15pi inches per rotation.

There are 10 rotations, so:

(15pi inches/rotation)(10 rotations) = 150pi inches travelled

150 x pi = 471.239 inches traveled

Lastima Nelson, Inc. is recruiting a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The recruiting budget is $44,000. Lastima has spent $10,
Musya8 [376]
The budget is $44000

Total spent so far is $10000 + $8500 = $18500

The amount left to spend = 44000 - 18500 = $25500

$25500 is the maximum 6% commission that Lastima Nelson Inc. can spend and stays within the budget

Let the maximum price of the home be x
This value of x will be the 100% before the 6% commission is calculated of it.

6% of x is 25500
1% of x is 25500 ÷ 6 = $4250
100% of x is 4250 × 100 = $425,000

So, the maximum value of the home is $425,000

Given f(x) = 2(4 – x)2, what is the value of F(15)? Record your answer and fat in the bubbles on your anser document​
kari74 [83]

Answer:

f(15) = 242

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 2(4 - x)²

f(15) = x = 15

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

f(15) = 2(4 - 15)²

f(15) = 2(-11)²

f(15) = 2(121)

f(15) = 242
