A train travels from Tutuban to Calamba station. The distance between Tutuban and Calamba is defined by the function d(x) = x4 +

x3 + 3x2 + 4x - x kilometers. If the train travels from Tutuban to Calamba for t(x) = x hours without stopping at any station, how fast is the train traveling?

given :

d(x) = x^4 + x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x - x kilometers.

t(x) = x

presumably the same value of x is used in both equations.

distance traveled is a function of time traveled, and that this relationship is preserved for any given speed.

Formula

r × t = d

r is the rate in kilometers per hour.

t is the time in hours.

d is the distance in hours.

based on the formulas you are given, this becomes:

r * t(x) = d(x)

if the train travels for 2 hours, then:

t(x) = t(2) = 2

d(x) = x^4 + x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x - x

d(2) = 2^4 + 2^3 + 3*2^2 + 4*2 - 2

d(2) = 42.

hence, t(2) = 2 and d(2) = 42

if the trip takes 2 hours, then the distance traveled is 42 kilometers based on the value of x = 2 in both equations.

the rate * time = distance equation of r * t(x) = d(x)

r × 2 = 42

r = 42/2

= 21.

this says the train will travel 42 kilometers in 2 hours if the train travels at 21 kilometers per hour.

2t-7-5t=11 what is the answer
Verizon [17]
<span>2t-7-5t=11

Start by combing like terms:

2-5t=-3t  

Now we have: 

-3t-7=11  

Add 7 to both sides

-3t=18

To isolate t we divide both sides by -3 

Final answer: 
t=-6 </span>

Malik collects rare stamps and has a total of 212 stamps. He has 34 more domestic stamps than foreign stamps. Let x represent th
Nana76 [90]
The equation that represents the total number of stamps malik collected is x + y = 212. The equation that represents the difference in the number of foreign and domestic stamps malik collected is: x - y = 34. This is the system of two equations. Malik has a total of 212 stamps: x + y = 212. He has 34 more domestic stamps (x) than foreign stamps (y): x = y + 34. If we rearrange it, we have x - y = 34. So, this is the system of two equations: x + y = 212 and x - y = 34.<span>

mrs. johnson gave a sum of money to her son and daughter in the ratio 5:6. Her daughter received $2400. how muh did Mrs. Johnson
Tresset [83]
To find the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away, you need to know how much she gave the son.  Because the ratio of the money given is 5:6, the amount of money he received has to be 5/6 of the money the daughter received.

So, the son received 5/6 of 2400.
To find this, multiply 5/6 x 2400 to get 2000.

The daughter received 2400 and the son received 2000, so the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away is 4400 dollars.
