It takes the high-speed train x hours to travel the z miles from Town A to Town B at a constant rate, while it takes the regular

train y hours to travel the same distance at a constant rate. If the high-speed train leaves Town A for Town B at the same time that the regular train leaves Town B for Town A, how many more miles will the high-speed train have traveled than the regular train when the two trains pass each other?
(A) z(y – x)/x + y
(B) z(x – y)/x + y
(C) z(x + y)/y – x
(D) xy(x – y)/x + y
(E) xy(y – x)/x + y

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we use ratio.

Firstly, we need to know the number of hours traveled. The total number of hours traveled = x+y

Ratio of this used by high speed train = x/(x +y).

Total distance traveled before they meet = [x/(x + y)] × z

For low speed train = [y/(x + y)] × z.

The difference would be distance by high speed train - distance by low speed train.

= z [ (x - y)/x + y)]

A jar contains only​ pennies, nickels,​ dimes, and quarters. There are 29 ​pennies, 13 ​dimes, and 21 quarters. The rest of the
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

First Question: <u>63 coins are not nickels.</u>

Second Question: <u>63+n=91</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

For your first question: 29+21=50 and 50+13=63. 63 coins are not nickels.

For your second question: You can do 29+21+13+n=91, I just simplified and said 63+n=91. You can choose.

Hope that this helps! Good luck with what you're working on!

State whether f is a function
Alenkinab [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

y=\pm (\frac{x}{6})^{\frac{1}{4}} \ is \ not \ a \ function

<h2>Step by step solution:</h2>

A function f from a set A to a set B is a relation that assigns to each element x in the set A exactly one element y in the set B. The set A is the domain (also called the set of inputs) of the function and the set B contains the range (also called the set of outputs). On the other hand, a function has an inverse function if and only if passes the Horizontal Line Test for Inverse Functions. This test tells us that a function f has an inverse function if and only if there is no any horizontal line that intersects the graph of f at more than one point. So the function is called one-to-one. The graph of f is shown below. As you can see, this function does not pass the Horizontal Line Test, therefore the inverse is not a function. However, let's find f^-{1}(x):

f(x)=6x^4 \\ \\ Substitute \ f(x) \ by \ y \\ \\ y=6x^4 \\ \\ Interchange \ x \ and \ y: \\ \\ x=6y^4 \\ \\ Solve \ for \ y: \\ \\ y^4=\frac{x}{6} \\ \\ Solving \\ \\y=\pm \sqrt[4]{\frac{x}{6}} \\ \\ \boxed{y=\pm \left(\frac{x}{6}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}}

and this is not a function because there are elements in the set of inputs that match with two elements in the set of outputs.

Westkost [7]
The answer will be the first one, $208,000

1) find the total percentage - 3x10=30%

30% of 160,000 = 48,000

160,000 + 48,000 = $208,000
