The equation d = 2t^ gives the distance from the start point of a toy boat that starts at rest and accelerates at 4 cm/s2. The e

quation d = 10t - 8 gives the distance from the start point of a second boat that starts at rest 8 cm behind the first boat and travels at a constant rate of 10 cm/s.
a) By setting the equations equal to each other, you can determine when the cars are the same distance from the start point: 2t2 = 10t - 8. Rewrite the equation so it is equal to 0 on the right hand side of the equation.

b) Factor the expression on the left side of the equation.

c) boats are the same distance from the start point at t = 1 and t = 4. Explain how the factors you found in part b were used to find these two times.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

d = 2t^2 and d = 10t - 8

If we equate both since they are distances, we have:

2t^2 = 10t - 8  

Algebraically, moving the equation to the right side, we get:

2t^ 2 = 10t -8 \\ \\ 2t^2 -10t +8 =0

To factor the equation on the left side:

2t^2 - 10t + 8 = 0

Factor out 2 on the left-hand side:

2 (t^2 -5t + 4) =0

=2 (t^2 -t-4t + 4)

= 2[t(t-1)-4(t-1)]

=2(t-1) (t-4)

To determine the time when the two boats have to cover an equal distance:

2(t -1)(t-4) =0 \\ \\(t-1)(t-4) =0

Thus:

t - 1 = 0 \  or \  t - 4 = 0 \\ \\ t = 1  \   or   \  t = 4

You have two summer jobs. In the first job, you work 25 hours per week and earn $7.75 per hour. In the second job, you earn $6.2
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

3.4 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

25 x $7.75 = $193.75

$250 - $193.75 = $21.25

$21.25/$6.25 = 3.4 hours

You must work 3.4 hours at the second job.

A water container holds 2 liters. How many
EastWind [94]

Number of containers for 2 litres of water = 1

So, number of containers for 1 litre of water = ½

So, number of containers for 30 litres of water

= ½ × 30

= 30/2

= 15

So, 15 of these containers would be needed to fill a 30-liter drum.

Katie draws two chords in a circle in a certain way. She then draws in four segments between adjacent endpoints of the chords to
FromTheMoon [43]
Answer: The answer that is not true is choice D.

If Katie drew those chords and those line segments to form a square, then the diagonals would have to be congruent. The only way to have them would be through the center, therefore they must be diameters.

And if it is a square, then the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors meaning the angles would be right angles not acute or obtuse as in Choice D. <span />
