Answer: The first day the author reaches 100 days is on day 16.
To solve this problem, you could use a graphing calculator to graph the given equation. Then, determine when this line crosses 100. It crosses when x = 15.539. Therefore, we would have to round up to 16 so it is at least 100.
You could use the quadratic equation to solve: 100 = x^2 -12x + 45
Either you will get 16. If you use the quadratic formula, make sure to only use the positive answer.
Yes it is linear since it's in the standard form Ax+By = C
A = 2
B = -8
C = 16
13cm is the answer i hope this helps you!!!!!!!
Let n = the hours elapsed when the two trains are 660 miles apart.
Let the first train travel east and the second train travel west.
The distance traveled by the first train is
x = (50 mi/h)*(n h) = 50n mi
The distance traveled by the second train is
y = (60 mi/h)*(n h) = 60n h
The distance between the two trains after n hours is
x + y = 50 n + 60n = 110n mi
Because this distance is 660 miles, therefore
110n = 660
n = 6 hours
Answer: 6 hours
I hope this helps. Sorry it took so long
