Answer:
45 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
At 30 mph for 1/4 hour, Peter has a 7.5 mile head start. After he leaves, Mitchell closes that gap at the rate of 40-30 = 10 miles per hour. It will take him ...
t = d/s
t = (7.5 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 0.75 h
to catch Peter.
Mitchell will catch Peter in 45 minutes.
__
<em>Alternate Solution</em>
Another way to look at it is that Mitchell's 10 mph advantage is 1/3 of Peter's speed, so it will take 1/(1/3) = 3 times the period of Peter's head start:
3 × 15 minutes = 45 minutes . . . for Mitchell to catch Peter
_____
You can write equations involving time and distance and see where the distances traveled become the same. You need to be careful choosing the time reference, since you're concerned with Mitchell's travel time. I personally prefer to work "head start" problems by considering the differences in time and speed, as above. This is where you end up using the equations approach, anyway.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3+√5 is a root.
so 3-√5 is also a root
or (x-(3-√5)) is also a factor of f(x)
Answer:
part A: expression 1: 6(8m+2)
expression 2: 6m+12+42m
Part B: 6(m+2+7m)= 6(8m+2)
combine like terms is 6(m+2+7m), so it is 6(2+8m) or 6(8m+2)
6(8m+2)= 6(8m+2)
Part C: 6m+12+42m=6(m+2+7m)
m=0
6(0+2+7(0))=6(0)+12+42(0)
6(2)= 12
12=12
Answer:
46
Step-by-step explanation:
There is an open + in the middle. It does not have any brackets around it. Therefore you do it at the very last.
Left side of the plus sign.
[16 ÷ (2 + 3*2)] Do the multiplication inside the parenthesis ( 2*3) first.
= [16 ÷ (2 + 6)] Add inside the parenthesis.
= [16 ÷ 8 ] Do the division
= 2
Right side of the open plus sign
[4 * (36 - 25)] Do the subtraction first.
[4 * 11 ] Do the multiplication
44
Now combine both right and left side.
2 + 44
46
The answer is 46.
