Answer:
T ≥ -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Temperature = 2° below 0°
Required
Represent as an inequality
First, we need to calculate the temperature in the morning.
2° below 0 means.
Temperature = 0° - 2°
Temperature = -2°
Next, we determine the temperature at any time.
The question says the temperature continues to rise during the day.
Represent this with T
This means T will be greater than -2°
However, we need to consider where the temperature started from.
In other words, T = -2
Combine T = -2 and T = -2 together, we have:.
T ≥ -2
Hence, the inequality that represents the scenario is T ≥ -2
Answer:
Bus speed: 22 mph; Trolley speed: 14 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let rb represent the speed of the bus and rt the speed of the trolley. Then rb = rt + 8 (mph).
Recall that distance = rate times time. Two different distances and two different speeds are involved here, but only one time.
Thus,
60 mi 44 mi
--------------------- = time (same in both cases) = -------------
rt + 8 mi/hr rt
Cross-multiplying, we get 44rt + 8(44) = 60 rt, or
352 = 16rt.
Solving this for rt, we get rt = speed of bus = 352/16 = 22 mph
The speed at which the bus travels is 22 mph and that at which the trolley travels is (22 mph - 8 mph) = 14 mph
