Answer:

45 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a really good question to know the answer to. It is tricky and a bit indirect (which means you have to find something else before you can find the speed of the car.)

Let's keep track of what he does in the time allotted.

How far does Joe go in 5 minutes? That's the amount of time he's on the road before she is.

convert 5 minutes into hours. 5 minutes * 1 hour / 60 minutes = 1/12 of an hour

d = r*t

r = 30 km/hour

t = 1/12 hour

d = 30 km/hr * 1/12 hour = 2.5 km

Now she's about to start. She wants to catch him in 10 minutes

d = r*t

r = x mph

t = 10 minutes = 10 minutes * 1 hour * 60 minutes = 1/6 of an hour.

How far does he go in the 10 minute time?

d = 30 * 1/6 = 5 km

What is his total distance

5 km + 2.5 km = 7.5 km

Finally how fast does she need to go to catch him

d = 7.5 km

r = ?   This is what you are trying to find

t = 1/6 of an hour

d = r*t

7.5 km = r * (1/6)hour             divide by 1/6 hour

7.5 km // 1/6 hour = r

r = 7.5 * 6 = 45 mph

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

2.3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown side is opposite the given angle 50 degrees, and the length of the hypotenuse is 3 units.

Since sin Ф = opp / hyp, we have here sin 50° = x/3, or x = 3 sin 50°.

Using a calculator, we find that the sine of 50° is 0.776.

Therefore, x = 3(0.766) = 2.298 units, or approximately 2.3 units

Geometry, SEMI-EASY question. I will give brainliest. Just want to double-check.
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point O is the origin.

Then the coordinates of the vertices A,B and C will be,

A → (-12, -8)

B → (-8, 0)

C → (-6, -4)

Rule for the dilation of a point (x, y) by scale factor 'k' about the origin is,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

By this rule, coordinates of the vertices of the image triangle will be,

If k = \frac{1}{2},

A(-12, -8) → A'(-6, -4)  

B(-8, 0) → B'(-4, 0)

C(-6, -4) → C'(-3, -2)

From the given options,

Option B is the answer.

Factorize (x-3)(x-5)(x-7)(x-9)+15
zhannawk [14.2K]

The expanded form of the equation is x^4-24x^3+222x^2-240+960

<h3>Expansion of expression</h3>

Given the expression below;

(x-3)(x-5)(x-7)(x-9)+15

Expand

(x-3)(x-5)(x-7)(x-9) + 15

(x^2-5x-3x+15)(x^2-9x-7x+63) +15

(x^2-8x+15)(x^2-16x+63) + 15

Expand further to have;

x^4-16x^3+63x^2-8x^3+144x^2-504+15x^2-240x+945+15

x^4-24x^3+222x^2-240+960

Hence the expanded form of the equation is x^4-24x^3+222x^2-240+960

How many 5-letter words can be made using exactly 5 of the letters from
kow [346]

The total number of ways by words are formed is 35 ways.

According to the statement

We have given that the 5 letters and we have to make word from them and the letters are repeated as equal to letters in given words.

And we have to find the possible ways.

So, The given words are:

TEXAS and MEXICO

Here X = 2 and E = 2 and all other words are one time used words.

We can find possible ways by use of combination and permutation.

So,

Total number of ways = 3C_{1} ^{5} + 2C_{2} ^{5}

here 3 because three letters are not repeatable and 2 letters are repeated for 2 times.

So,

Total number of ways = 3C_{1} ^{5} + 2C_{2} ^{5}

Total number of ways = 3(\frac{5!}{1!} ) + 2(\frac{5!}{2!*3!} )

Total number of ways = 3(5) + 2(10)

Total number of ways = 15 + 20

Total number of ways = 35.

So, The total number of ways by letters are formed is 35 ways.
