Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite a doozy, my friend. We will set up a d = rt table, fill it in...and pray.

The table will look like this before we even fill anything in:

            d        =        r        *        t

SUV

sedan

Ok now we start to pick apart the problem. Motion problems are the hardest of all story problems ever. This is because there are about 100 ways a motion problem can be presented. So far what we KNOW for an indisputable fact is that the distance from Georgetown to Greenville is 120 km. So we fill that in, making the table:

             d      =      r      *      t

SUV     120

sedan  120

The next part is derived from the sentence "After an hour, the SUV was 24 km ahead of the sedan." This tells us the rate of the SUV in terms of the sedan. If the SUV is 24 km ahead of the sedan in 1 hour, that tells us that the rate of the sedan is r and the rate of the SUV is r + 24 km/hr. BUT we have other times in this problem, one of them being 25 minutes. We have a problem here because the times either have to be in hours or minutes, but not both. So we will change that rate to km/min. Doing that:

24 \frac{km}{hr} × \frac{1hr}{60min}=.4\frac{km}{min} So now we can fill in the rates in the table:

            d      =      r      *      t

SUV    120    =   r + .4

sedan 120    =     r

They left at the same time, so now the table looks like this:

             d      =      r      *      t

SUV    120     =   r + .4  *      t

sedan  120    =      r      *      t

We will put in the time difference of 25 minutes in just a sec.

If d = rt, then the equation for each row is as follows:

SUV:   120 = (r + .4)t

sedan:   120 = rt

Since the times are the same (because they left at the same time, we will set the equations each equal to t. The distances are the same, too, I know that, but if we set the distances equal to each other and then solve the equations for a variable, the distances cancel each other out, leaving us with nowhere to go. Trust me, I tried that first! Didn't work.

Solving the first equation for time:

sedan:  \frac{120}{r}=t  That's the easy one. Now the SUV. This is where that time difference of 25 minutes comes in from the last sentence. Let's think about what that sentence means in terms of the times of each of these vehicles. If the sedan arrived 25 minutes after the SUV, then the sedan was driving 25 minutes longer; conversely, if the sedan arrived 25 minutes after the SUV, then the SUV was driving 25 minutes less than the sedan. The latter explanation is the one I used in the equation. Again, if the SUV was driving 25 minutes less than the sedan, and the equations are solved for time, then the equation for the SUV in terms of time is

\frac{120}{r+.4}=t-25 and we solve that for t:

\frac{120}{r+.4}+25=t

Again, going off the fact that times they both leave are the same, we set the equations equal to one another and solve for r:

\frac{120}{r+.4}+25=\frac{120}{r}

I began by first multiplying everything through by (r + .4) to get rid of it in the denominator. Doing that:

[r+.4](\frac{120}{r+.4}) +[r+.4](25)=[r+.4](\frac{120}{r}) which simplifies very nicely to

120+25(r+.4)=\frac{120}{r}(r+.4)  So maybe it's not so nice. Let's keep going:

120+25r+10=\frac{120r}{r}+\frac{48}{r} and keep going some more:

130+25r=120+\frac{48}{r} and now we multiply everything through by r to get rid of THAT denominator:

r(130)+r(25r)=r(120)+r(\frac{48}{r}) giving us:

130r+25r^2=120r+48 Now we have a second degree polynomial we have to solve by factoring. Get everything on one side and factor using the quadratic formula.

25r^2+10r-48=0

That factors to

r = 1.2 and r = -1.6 and both of those rates are in km/minute. First of all, we cannot have a negative rate (this is not physics where we are dealing with velocity which CAN be negative) so we throw out the -1.6 and convert the rate of 1.2 km/minute back to km/hr:

1.2\frac{km}{min} × \frac{60min}{1hr} and we get

r = 72 km/h, choice B.

Wow...what a pain THAT was, right?!

Please help me! I'm spending 50 points on this question and my last two questions never even got answered!
Verdich [7]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is only affected if certain values can make the result something that either doesn't make sense or is an error. In your situation, it wants you to find the domain of f/g, which is a fraction. The only rule we have for fractions regarding domain is that we simply can't divide by zero, to find the domain for any fraction with variables in the denominator, what I do is take the denominator, set it equal to 0, and solve for x.

So, if we're taking f/g, we have:

\frac{3x^2 + x^4 + 2}{4x - 3}

4x - 3 makes up our denominator, the bottom part of the fraction. So

4x - 3 = 0

4x = 3

x = 3/4

So the denominator is equal to zero when x is equal to 3/4. This would produce an error in any calculator because you can't divide by zero. The domain here is all real numbers except for 3/4.

(For future problems, the only thing to look out for is if your numerator, the top part of the fraction, factors into something that cancels with the bottom. In that case, it wouldn't affect domain because you aren't actually dividing by anything. For example:

\frac{x^2 - 4}{x-2}

If we factor the top, we see that x^2 - 4 = (x - 2)(x + 2). In this case, we have (x - 2) in both the top and bottom of the fraction, so it cancels out, and from there nothing else is restricting our domain. It would be all real numbers in a case like that.)

Hi! can someone please help? i added a pic so that u can see what i need help on. hopefully it helps

Answer:

I'm pretty sure that the answers would go, Wrong, increased, 9 1/2 points, 6 5/8 points, dropped, 12 3/4 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why it would be wrong is because the amount of points lost was less than the total amount of points gained.

In week one and two the company gained 9 1/2 points and 6 5/8 points. When you add them together, you get 16 1/8 points.

In week three the company lost 12 3/4 points. If you multiply the fraction to change the denominator to 8, the mixed fraction becomes 12 6/8.

16 1/8 - 12 6/8 = 3 3/8

As you can see, there are still points left over.

In the fourth week, they ended up losing all of their points and then some more, but from my understanding it's just asking about the third week.

Hope that this helps!
