Answer:

He drove there at 60 mph, and he drove back at 36 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

one way distance = d = 270 miles

average speed on way back = s

average speed on the way there = s + 24

time driving there = t

time driving back = 12 - t

average speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

going there:

270 = (s + 24)t

270 = st + 24t

going back

270 = s(12 - t)

270 = 12s - st

We have a system of equations:

270 = st + 24t

270 = 12s - st

Solve the first equation for t.

t(s + 24) = 270

t = 270/(s + 24)

Substitute in the second equation.

270 = 12s - s[270/(s + 24)]

270 = 12s - 270s/(s + 24)

Multiply both sides by s + 24.

270s + 6480 = 12s^2 + 288s - 270s

12s^2 - 252s - 6480 = 0

Divide both sides by 12.

s^2 - 21s - 540 = 0

(s - 36)(s + 15) = 0

s = 36 or s = -15

The average speed cannot be negative, so we discard the solution s = -15.

s = 36

s + 24 = 60

Answer: He drove there at 60 mph, and he drove back at 36 mph.

Answer:

Area = 5x^2 +7x -26

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shaded region can be found if you substruct the small rectangle from the big one. The area of any rectangle is calculated if you multiply width and height.

In other words:

A_small = (x-3)(x-6) = x^2-9x +18

A_big = (2x+2)(3x-4) = 6x^2 -2x -8

A_big - A_small = (6x^2 -2x -8) - (x^2-9x +18)

= 6x^2 -2x -8 - x^2 + 9x -18

= 5x^2 +7x -26

.Un recipiente cilíndrico de 5cm de radio y 10cm de altura se llena de agua. Si la masa del recipiente lleno es de 2kg, ¿cuál es
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

La masa del recipiente vacío es 1,2146 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

La densidad se define como la propiedad que tiene la materia, ya sean sólidos, líquidos o gases, para comprimirse en un espacio determinado. En otras palabras, la densidad es una magnitud que permite medir la cantidad de masa que hay en determinado volumen de una sustancia. Entonces, la expresión para el cálculo de la densidad es el cociente entre la masa de un cuerpo y el volumen que ocupa:

densidad= \frac{masa}{volumen}

Entonces la masa puede ser expresada como:

masa= densidad*volumen

En este caso:

  • densidad del agua= 1000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }
  • volumen del recipiente cilíndrico= π*radio²*altura= π*(5 cm)²* 10 cm= π*(0,05 m)²*0,1 m= 7,854*10⁻⁴ m³

Reemplazando:

masa= 1000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} } * 7,854*10⁻⁴ m³

masa=0.7854 kg

Si la masa del recipiente lleno es de 2 kg, entonces se le resta la masa de agua calculada:

2 kg - 0,7854 kg= 1,2146 kg

Entonces,<u><em> la masa del recipiente vacío es 1,2146 kg.</em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>
