Answer: 352 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point where the car overtook the bus, the car and the bus would have travelled the same distance.

Let x represent the distance covered by bus and the car before the car overtook the bus.

Let t represent the time taken by the bus to travel x miles.

The bus was traveling at 64 km an hour.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by the bus in t hours would be

x = 64 × t = 64t

if the bus has a 1.5 hour Headstart, it means that the car started moving 1.5 hours after the bus has moved.

Therefore, time spent by the car would be t - 15 hours.

The car traveling at 88 km an hour

Distance covered by the car in t - 1.5 hours would be

x = 88(t - 1.5) = 88t - 132

Since the distance covered is equal, then

88t - 132 = 64t

88t - 64t = 132

24t = 132

t = 132/24

t = 5.5 hours

Therefore, the distance from the starting point when the car overtook the bus would be

x = 64 × 5.5 = 352 miles

Mel received notice that his monthly health care rate will increase 15% next year. if mel currently pays $200 per month for heal
Volgvan
Multiply 200 by .15, since 15% is .15 as a decimal. 200 x .15 = 30. This means that his health care rate will increase by $30 next year.

The function f(t)=-16 + 100 models the height of a ball, in feet, dropped from a 100-foot rooftop at time t, in seconds.
Mazyrski [523]

Using it's concept, it is found that the average rate of change of the function during the interval from 0 to 2 seconds is given by:

B. -32 ft/s; the average change in altitude of the ball each second over that interval.

<h3>What is the average rate of change of a function?</h3>

The average rate of change of a function is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the input. Hence, over an interval [a,b], the rate is given as follows:

r = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

In this problem, the function is given by:

f(t) = -16t² + 100.

The outputs are given as follows:

  • f(0) = -16(0)² + 100 = 100.
  • f(0) = -16(2)² + 100 = 36.

Hence the average rate of change is given by:

r = (36 - 100)/(2 - 0) = -32 ft/s.

And the correct option is:

B. -32 ft/s; the average change in altitude of the ball each second over that interval.
