Answer:

322 1/2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall how s = d/t ; speed = distance/time.

To effectively solve for distance traveled, rearrange the formula so that distance is on the left-hand side by multiplying speed, and time.

speed × time = distance/time × time

speed × time = distance

distance = speed × time ; d = st.

Now to find the total distance traveled, individually multiply the rate of speed with the time. Time will cancel, and we will get the total mileage.

Given an average speed of 60 mph at a certain time for 4.5 hours, and another average speed of 35 mph at another time of 1.5. Calculate the distance individually, and then add both distances together. Distance 1 = 60 mph × 4.5 h = 60 miles / h × 4.5h = 60 miles × 4.5 = 270 miles.

Distance 2 = 35mph × 1.5h = 35 miles / h × 1.5h = 35 miles × 1.5 = 52 1/2 miles.

Distance 1 + Distance 2 = Total distance.

270 miles + 52 1/2 miles = 322 1/2 miles.

HELPP!!what is the answer to this picture above^

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

$\fbox{ \fbox { \sf{Distance = \sf{15 \: units}}}}$

${ \fbox { \fbox { \sf{Midpoint = { \sf{ \: (12 \: , \: 10.5)}}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \: \sf { \: Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}}$

$\star { \sf{Let \: A(6 \:, 6) \: be \: (x1 ,\: y1) \: and \: B(18 ,\: 15) \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}$

$\underline{ \underline{ \tt{Finding \: the \: distance}}}$

$\boxed{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{ {(18 - 6)}^{2} + {(15 - 6)}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{ {(12)}^{2} + {(9)}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{144 + 81}}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{225} }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{ {15}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \boxed{\sf{Distance = 15 \: units}}}$

$\underline{ \underline {\tt{Finding \: the \: Midpoint}}}$

$\boxed{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \: , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{6 + 18}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 + 15}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{24}{2} \: , \: \frac{21}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto{ \boxed{ \sf{Midpoint = (12 \: , \: 10.5)}}}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

What is the domain of the function f(x) = 2x /(3x^2− 3

Svet_ta [14]

The domain of the function in this case will be for when the denominator is different from zero:
3x ^ 2- 3 = 0
3x ^ 2 = 3
x ^ 2 = 3/3
x ^ 2 = 1
x = + / - 1
Therefore the domain of this function are all reals without including x = 1 and x = -1

Subtract. 5x^2-5x+1-(2x^2+9x-6)

Talja [164]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

$3x^{2} -14x+7$

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem we need to add/subtract like terms. We need to remember that like terms are the terms that share the same variable and the same exponent.

For example, we have:

$x^{2} +2x+3x=x^{2} +(2x+3x)=x^{2}+5x$

We have that we were able to add just the terms that were sharing the same variable and exponenr (x for this case).

So, we are given the expression:

$5x^2-5x+1-(2x^2+9x-6)=5x^{2}-2x^{2}-5x-9x+1-(-6)\\\\(5x^{2}-2x^{2})+(-5x-9x)+(1-(-6))=3x^{2}-14x+7$

Hence, the answer is:

$3x^{2} -14x+7$

Have a nice day!
