Given :

Distance between them, D = 14 miles .

Mr. Howard can run 3 miles in 30 minutes.

Ms. Egan can run 4 miles in 30 minutes.

To Find :

Time taken by them to meet.

Solution :

Mr Howard speed, v_H=\dfrac{3}{0.5}=6\ mph .

Mr Egan speed, v_e=\dfrac{4}{0.5}=- 8\ mph . [ Since they run in opposite direction ]

Their relative speed :

v=v_E-v_H\\\\v = 8-(-6) \ mph \\\\v = 14 \ mph

Time taken by them to meet :

T = \dfrac{14}{14}\ hours\\\\T = 1 \ hours

Hence, this is the required solution.

PLS HELP!! If f(x) = 2x^2-4x and g(x) =5-2x, evaluate f(x)-g(x) for x=5
anastassius [24]
To solve this equation you need to first start by writing out the f(x)-g(X).
The equation should be 2x^2-4x-5+2x. 
You then want to simplify the equation, I got 2x^2-2x-5.
You then want to plug in the x=5 for all the x's in the equation. 
2(5)^2-2(5)-5 would be the equation. 
The answer you get should be 35.

What is the greatest common factor GCF of 10 and four
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Take the numbers 50 and 30. Their greatest common factor is 10, since 10 is the greatest factor that both numbers have in common. To find the GCF of greater numbers, you can factor each number to find their prime factors, identify the prime factors they have in common, and then multiply those together.

Find the intersection points using substitution or elimination for each system of equations:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so I think I know what the equations are, but I might have misinterpreted them because of the syntax- I think when you ask a question you can use the symbols tool to input it in a more clear way, otherwise you can use parentheses and such.

Problem 1:

(x²)/4 +y²= 1

y= x+1

*substitute for y*

Now we have a one-variable equation we can solve-

x²/4 + (x+1)² = 1

x²/4 + (x+1)(x+1)= 1

x²/4 + x²+2x+1= 1

*subtract 1 from both sides to set equal to 0*

x²/4 +x^2+2x=0

x²/4 can also be 1/4 * x²

1/4 * x² +1*x² +2x = 0

*combine like terms*

5/4 * x^2+2x+ 0 =0

now, you can use the quadratic equation to solve for x

a= 5/4

b= 2

c=0

the syntax on this will be rough, but I'll do my best...

x= (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

x= (-2 ±√(2²-4*(5/4)*(0))/(2*(5/4))

x= (-2 ±√(4-0))/(2.5)

x= (-2±2)/2.5

x will have 2 answers because of ±

x= 0 or x= 1.6

now plug that back into one of the equations and solve.

y= 0+1 = 1

y= 1.6+1= 2.6

Hopefully this explanation was enough to help you solve problem 2.

Problem 2:

x² + y² -16y +39= 0

y²- x² -9= 0
