Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:




Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25:-

Calculate 3 to the power of 2 to get 9 and then multiply 2 and 9 to get 18:-

4/5+3/5 = 7/5 = 1.4
3.5X5 = 17.5
1.4 + 17.5 = 18.9 = 18 9/10
<span>1st train DATA:
rate = 50 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = rt = 50x miles
2nd train DATA:
rate = 55 mph ; time = (x-(1/2)) hrs ; distance = rt = 55(x-(1/2)) miles
Equation:
distance = distance
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)

The drawbridge will be at an incline of 10.56 degrees. That is 5.56 degrees more than it's initial incline of 5 degrees.
If you draw a picture of this situation, you will see that you can write a sine ratio with the 11 and 60 (opposite over hypotenuse)
sin(x) = 11/60 Solve the equation for x
x = 10.56
