Answer:

  • 40 km/h and 60 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the car is x, then the speed of motorcycle is x + 20

The distance = 120 km

<u>Time:</u>

  • 120/x = 120/(x + 20) + 1
  • 120(x + 20) = 120x + x(x +20)
  • 120x + 2400 = 120x + x² + 20x
  • x² + 20x = 2400
  • x² + 2*10x + 10² = 2500
  • (x + 10)² = 50²
  • x  + 10 = 50
  • x = 40

Speed of the car is 40 km/h

Speed of the motorcycle is 60 km/h

A pine cone drops from a tree branch that is 36 feet above the ground. The function h = –16t2 + 36 is used. If the height h of t
scoray [572]
Notice that the height of the pine cone when it hits the ground is zero. So, to find the tame it takes for the pine cone to hit the ground, we just need to replace the height, h, with 0 in the function, and solve for time t:
h=-16t^2+36
0=-16t^2+36
-36=-16t^2
t^2= \frac{-36}{-16}
t^2= \frac{9}{4}
t=(+/-) \sqrt{ \frac{9}{4} }
t=(+/-) \frac{3}{2}
t=(+/-)1.5
Since time cannot be negative, the solution is t=1.5 seconds.

Since 1.5 second is significantly less than 2 seconds, we can conclude that <span>2 seconds is not a reasonable answer to this model.</span>
