A car-carrier trailer weighs 35,000 pounds when empty. The driver loads 7 cars on the trailer. The cars are identical except for

color. The weight of the loaded trailer is 50,855 pounds. The maximum vehicle weight allowed on U.S. highways is 80,000 pounds. What number best describes the weight of one car?

Answer:

Each car weighs 2,265 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the car carrier weighs 35,000 pounds when empty, that is, without cars, and that loading 7 cars its weight is 50,855 pounds, the difference between both values implies the weight of the 7 cars together, which is determined through the following calculation:

50,855 - 35,000 = X

15.855 = X

Thus, the weight of the 7 cars together is 15,855 pounds. In turn, the weight of each particular car is determined from the following division:

15.855 / 7 = X

2,265 = X

Therefore, each car weighs about 2,265 pounds.

The rate at which a body cools also depends on its exposed surface area S. If S is a constant, then a modification of (2), given
padilas [110]

Answer:

  76.25°

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the differential equation is an exponential curve with a horizontal asymptote at Tm. It passes through (0, 145) and (30, 95), so the equation can be written as ...

  T = 80 +65((95-65)/(145-65))^(t/30)

  T = 80 +65(3/8)^(t/30)

That is, the temperature difference is reduced to 3/8 of its original value in 30 minutes.

Since the coffee in cup B cools twice as fast, it will cool to the same temperature (95°) in 15 minutes. In the next 15 minutes, the temperature difference will be reduced to (3/8)^2 of the original 80°, so will be 11.25°. That is, the temperature of cup B will be ...

  11.25° +65° = 76.25°

after 30 minutes.

The function f(x) is shown in this graph
anygoal [31]

f(x) (0.3) and (1,1)

slope = (3 - 1)/(0-1) = -2

b = 3

equation:

f(x) = -2x + 3 (slope = -2)

g(x) = -7x - 1 (slope = -7)


-2 is greater than - 7


Answer is D.

The slope of f(x) is greater than slope of g(x)
