<h3>Answer:  6 mph</h3>

========================================

Explanation:

distance = rate*time

90 = r*t

where r is the slower speed and t is the time it takes when going that slower speed.

If r is bumped up 24 mph faster, to r+24, then Santos takes t-12 hours to get there. The second equation is

90 = (r+24)(t-12)

-------------------------------------

We can solve the first equation for r to get r = 90/t

Then plug this into the second equation and do a bit of algebra

90 = (r+24)(t-12)

90 = (90/t+24)*(t-12)

90 = 90 - 1080/t + 24t - 288

90t = 90t - 1080 + 24t^2 - 288t

0 = 90t - 1080 + 24t^2 - 288t-90t

0 = 24t^2 - 288t - 1080

24t^2 - 288t - 1080 = 0

If you apply the quadratic formula, then you should get the two solutions t = -3 and t = 15. Due to time constraints, I'll skip these steps.

We'll ignore the negative t value. It makes no sense to have a negative time.

So we focus on t = 15 as the only solution.

-------------------------------------

If t = 15, then,

r = 90/t

r = 90/15

r = 6

Santos rode his bike at <u>6 mph</u> at first. Going this speed means he takes 15 hours.

If he rode 24 mph faster, at 6+24 = 30 mph, then he would ride for 15-12 = 3 hours instead. Note that 90/30 = 3.

What is a simplified expression for the perimeter of the polygon?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

D. 5x^2 + 2y^2 + 12x + 5y

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 2y + y^2 + 6x + 2y + y^2 + 4x^2 + x^2 + y

6x + 6x = 12x

12x + 2y + y^2 + 2y  + y^2 + 4x^2 + x^2 + y

2y + 2y + y = 5y

12x + 5y + y^2 + y^2 + 4x^2 + x^2

y^2 + y^2 = 2y^2

2y^2 + 4x^2 + x^2 + 12x + 5y

4x^2 + x^2 = 5x^2

2y^2 + 5x^2  + 12x + 5y

5x^2 + 2y^2 + 12x + 5y

Simplify without using the calculator or the sin tables.​
katovenus [111]

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

sin²(π/8) − cos⁴(3π/8)

Use power reduction formulas:

1/2 (1 − cos(2×π/8)) − 1/8 (3 + 4 cos(2×3π/8) + cos(4×3π/8))

Simplify:

1/2 (1 − cos(π/4)) − 1/8 (3 + 4 cos(3π/4) + cos(3π/2))

1/2 (1 − √2/2) − 1/8 (3 + 4 (-√2/2) + 0)

1/2 − √2/4 − 1/8 (3 − 2√2)

1/2 − √2/4 − 3/8 +√2/4

1/2 − 3/8

1/8

If m∠XWY = 20°, m∠XWZ = 40°, and XY = 16, what is the value of YZ?
Jobisdone [24]
YZ = 16. The triangles are congruent. This would be AAS so YZ = 16 because of CPCTC.
