Answer:

Option C - 52 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

I've attached an image to depict the diagram of movement of both cars.

dy/dt = 50 mph

dx/dt = 20 mph

From the attached image, using pythagoras theorem, we have;

x² + y² = s²

Differentiating with respect to to using implicit differentiation with power rule, we have;

2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt) = 2s(ds/dt)  - - (eq1)

Now, let's find s by pythagoras theorem.

s² = 0.375² + 0.5²

s² = 0.390625

s = √0.390625

s = 0.625

Plugging in all the relevant values into eq 1,we have;

2×0.375(20) + 2×0.5(50) = 2×0.625(ds/dt)

15 + 50 = 1.25(ds/dt)

65 = 1.25(ds/dt)

ds/dt = 65/1.25

ds/dt = 52 mph

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

She will take 4 hours.

If she reads at 25 pages per 30 minutes, that will be 50 pages per hour.

It will take 2 hours to read 100 pages, therefore it will take 4 hours to read 200 pages.

Determine the axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = −4(x + 7)2 − 3.
spayn [35]

Answer:

  x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of this equation tells us it is a downward-opening parabola with its vertex at (-7, -3). The line of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex: x = -7.

___

Vertex form is ...

  y = a(x -h) +k

where a is the vertical expansion factor, and (h, k) is the vertex. When a < 0, the parabola opens downward. When a > 0, it opens upward. (When a=0, the "parabola" is a horizontal line at y=k.)
