Answer:

first do:

60mph * 4 hours= 240mi

Let D = the distance the passenger train has to  

travel to catch the freight train

Start a stopwatch when the passenger train leaves

Let t = the time on the stopwatch when they meet

Equation for freight train:

d-240=60t

Equation for passenger train:

d=100t

all together:

100t-240=60t

we can do 100t-60t because they both have (t)= 40t

40t=240 *now divide 240 by 40= 6

THEN do:

D= 100mph x 6= 600mi

They will meet 600 mi from the station

to check:

d-240=60t x 6

600-240= 360

60 x 6= 360

360=360

Work out the following, giving your answer in the simplest form <br> A) 4/7 divided by 1 3/4
spayn [35]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 16/49

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

4/7 ÷ 1 3/4

Process

1.- Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions

1 3/4 = (4 + 3) / 4 = 7/4

2.- Divide

       4/7 ÷ 7/4 = 16/49

3.- Simplify

I think it is not possible to simplify.

4.- Also we can solve this problem by converting the division into a multiplication, just invert the second fraction.

      4/7 x 4/7 = 16/49

The result is the same.

The first 5 terms of a sequence are shown below:
nirvana33 [79]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the formula for the nth term ,

First , find the common difference or common ratio.

Common difference =

T_2-T_1 \\  - 2 - 3 \\  =  - 5

Common ratio =

T_2/T_1 \\  \frac{ - 2}{3}

The common difference applies to the other given numbers for example :

T_3- T_2  =  - 7 - ( - 2) \\  =  - 7 + 2 =  - 5

this proves that it is an arithmetic sequence and the given formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

T_n =a(n-1)d

Where n = no of terms

a= first term

d= common difference

Answer:

f(-5) = 4(-5) + 1 = -20 + 1 = -19

f(-1) = 4(-1) + 1 = -4 + 1 = -3

f(2) = 4(2) + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9

f(3) = 4(3) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

f(5) = 4(5) + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21
