Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
b² - 4ac
= 16 - 4(3)(-2)
= 16 + 24
= 40
It takes about 4 days for the temperature to decrease by 9°F.
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables or numbers.
Let x represent the number of days. Given that the temperature drop decreased by 1 1/2°F each day (- 1 1/2), for it to decrease by 9°F (-9):
-1 1/2 * x = -9
-1.5x = - 9
x = 4 days
It takes about 4 days for the temperature to decrease by 9°F.
I'm sorry I can't answer this but the triangle looks like it's wearing a thong
Answer:
1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
I find these easiest to work by considering the initial difference in distance and the speed at with that gap is closing.
__
The gap is 15 miles, the distance the first ship is from harbor when the second ship starts.
The rate of closure is the difference in the speeds of the two ships:
60 mph -45 mph = 15 mph
Then the closure time is ...
time = distance/speed
time = (15 mi)/(15 mi/h) = 1 h
It will take the second ship 1 hour to catch up to the first ship.
