Answer:

The system of linear equations that can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling is:

E + W = 4 ....... Equation 1

95 E + 110W = 400  ......Equation 2

Hence,

An Eastbound train has been travelling for =  (E) = 2.67 hours

A Westbound train has been travelling for =  (W) = 1.33 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

An Eastbound train (E) traveling 95 mph and a Westbound train (W) traveling 110 mph leave the same train station at different times. After 4 hours, they are 4 00 miles apart. Which system of linear equations can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling?

Speed = Distance/Time

Distance = Speed × Time

Let the time

An Eastbound train =  (E)

A Westbound train =  (W)

E + W = 4 hours ....... Equation 1

95mph × E + 110mph × W = 400 miles

95 E + 110W = 400 miles ......Equation 2

The system of linear equations that can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling is:

E + W = 4 ....... Equation 1

95 E + 110W = 400  ......Equation 2

E = 4 - W

We substitute 4 - W for E in Equation 2

95 (4 - W) + 110W = 400  

380 - 95W + 110W = 400

Collect like terms

95W - 110W = 400 - 380

15W = 20

W = 20/15

W = 1.3333333333 hours

≈ 1.33 hours

E = 4 - W

E = 4 - 1.33 hours

E = 2.67 hours

Therefore,

An Eastbound train has been travelling for =  (E) = 2.67 hours

A Westbound train has been travelling for =  (W) = 1.33 hours

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

C. Cosine is negative in Quadrant III

<h2>Why?</h2>

Let's discard each given option in order to find the correct:

A. Tangent is negative in Quadrant I: It's false, all functions are positive in Quadrant I (0° to 90°).

B. Sine is negative in Quadrant II: It's false, sine is negative in positive in Quadrant II. Sine function is always positive coming from 90° to 180°.

C. Cosine is negative in Quadrant III. It's true, cosine and sine functions are negative in Quadrant III (180° to 270°), meaning that only tangent and cotangent functions will be positive in Quadrant III.

D. Sine is positive in Quadrant IV: It's false, sine is negative in Quadrant IV. Only cosine and secant functions are positive in Quadrant IV (270° to 360°)

Have a nice day!

Just help me please I really need help please

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

add up all the inside angels, you'll get 122, subtract that from the total area of the triangle which is 180. you will have 58 for your missong inside triangle. the outside line makes 180 with the angel we just found, so subtract 58 from 180 and you get 122. check out Khan Academy for help.
