Answer:
128 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The convict has a head start of ...
distance = speed × time
distance = (8 mi/h) × (14 h) = 112 mi
That distance is being closed at a rate that is the difference between the speeds, so ...
64 mi/h -8 mi/h = 56 mi/h
The time it takes the guards to catch the convict will be ...
time = distance/speed
time = (112 mi)/(56 mi/h) = 2 h
The guards and prisoner will be at a distance from the prison of ...
distance = speed × time
distance = (64 mi/h)(2 h) = 128 mi
The convict will be caught 128 miles from the prison.
__
<em>Check</em>
The convict will run an additional (8 mi/h)(2 h) = 16 mi after the guards start pursuit. That, in addition to the 112 miles already run, will total 112+16=128 miles, the same distance the guards travel in that 2 hours.
Answer:
8 7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<em><u>A.10000</u></em>
<em><u>B.25 more trees must be planted</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
⇒Given:
- The intial average yield per acre
= 150
- The initial number of trees per acre
= 100
- For each additional tree over 100, the average yield per tree decreases by 1 i.e , if the number trees become 101 , the avg yield becomes 149.
- Total yield = (number of trees per acre)
(average yield per acre)
<em>A.</em>
⇒If the total trees per acre is doubled , which means :
total number of trees per acre 
= 
= 200
the yield will decrease by : -
⇒total yield = 
<em>B.</em>
⇒to maximize the yield ,
let's take the number of trees per acre to be 100+y ;
and thus the average yield per acre = 150 - y;
total yield = 
this is a quadratic equation. this can be rewritten as ,
⇒ 
In this equation , the total yield becomes maximum when y=25;
<u><em>⇒Thus the total number of trees per acre = 100+25 =125;</em></u>
t he number of views expected to be four weeks from now can
be calculated using the equation:
F = P ( 1+i)^n
Where F is the future views
P is the present views
i is the percent increase in views
n is the number of weeks
F = 15 ( 1+ 0.22)^4
F = 33 views
Answer:
a^2 -10a +16
Step-by-step explanation:
(a-2) • (a-8)
FOIL
first a*a = a^2
outer: a * -8 = -8a
inner: -2 *a = -2a
last: -2 *-8 = 16
Add them together
a^2 -8a -2a+16
Combine like terms
a^2 -10a +16
