Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve you need to replace the variables with their numbers.

3(-1) - (-1^2)

-1 x -1 = -1

3 x (-1) = -3

-3 - (-1) =

-2

Loren drove 200 miles at a certain rate, and his wife, Lois, drove 100 miles at a rate 10 mph slower. If Loren had driven for th
NeX [460]

As long as Loren drove, the law of motion was

200 = st_1 \implies t_1 = \dfrac{200}{s}

As long as Loid drove, the law of motion was

100 = (s-10)t_2 \implies t_2 = \dfrac{100}{s-10}

So, the total time they took is

t_1+t_2=\dfrac{200}{s}+\dfrac{100}{s-10}

Had Loren driven the whole time, the law of motion would have been

300=st_3 \implies t_3 = \dfrac{300}{s}

And we know that this time would have been 30 minutes (i.e. 0.5 hours) faster. So, we have

t_3 = t_1+t_2-0.5

This translates into

\dfrac{300}{s}=\dfrac{200}{s}+\dfrac{100}{s-10}-\dfrac{1}{2}

If we subtract 200/s from both sides, we have

\dfrac{100}{s}=\dfrac{100}{s-10}-\dfrac{1}{2}

We can simplify the right hand side by summing the two fractions:

\dfrac{100}{s-10}-\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{200-(s-10)}{2(s-10)}=\dfrac{210-s}{2(s-10)}

So, we have to solve

\dfrac{100}{s}=\dfrac{210-s}{2(s-10)}

If we cross multiply the denominators, we have

200(s-10)=s(210-s) \iff 200s-2000=210s-s^2 \iff s^2-10s-2000=0

Which yields the solutions

s=-40,\quad s=50

We accept the positive solution, because the negative would mean to travel backwards, so Loren's rate was 50mph

Introduction to area of a piecewise rectangular figure
stich3 [128]

Given:

The piecewise rectangular figure.

To find:

The area of the piecewise rectangular figure.

Solution:

Draw a line and divide the given figure in two parts (a) and (b) as shown in the below figure.

Figure (a) is a rectangle of length 5 yd and width 3 yd. So, the area of the rectangle is:

Area=length\times width

A_a=5\times 3

A_a=15

Figure (b) is a square of edge 2 yd. So, the area of the square is:

Area=(edge)^2

A_b=(2)^2

A_b=4

The area of the given figure is:

A=A_a+A_b

A=15+4

A=19

Therefore, the area of the given figure is 19 square yd.

How do I find a point on the line whose equation is 3x-8y=54
never [62]

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. A point that will lie on the line 3x-8y=54 is (5,-4.875).

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

To find a point on the line 3x-8y=54, take any random value of x and substitute for the equation, and solve the equation for y. Now, as you have the value of x and y, you have the coordinate of the point.

Let the value of x be 5.

3x-8y=54

3(5)-8y =54

15-8y = 54

-8y = 54 - 15

-8y = 39

y = -4.875

Hence, a point that will lie on the line 3x-8y=54 is (5,-4.875).
