Answer:

Rider 1 does one round in 15 min, and will complete another in each consecutive multiple of 15 min

Rider 2 does one round in 18 min, and will complete another in each consecutive multiple of 18 min

Assuming that they start together, they will complete another round together in a time that is both multiples of 15min and 18 min.

Then we need to find the smallest common multiple between 15 and 18.

To smallest common multiple between two numbers, a and b, is equal to:

a*b/(greatest common factor between a and b).

Now, the greatest common factor between 15 and 18 can be found if we write those numbers as a product of prime numbers, such as:

15 = 3*5

18 = 2*3*3

The greatest common factor is 3.

Then the smallest common multiple will be:

(15*18)/3 = 90

This means that after 90 mins, they will meet again at the starting place.

Answer:

Unfortunately, your answer is not right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions whose graphs do not have asymptotes are the power and the root.

The power function has no asymptote, its domain and rank are all the real.

To verify that the power function does not have an asymptote, let us make the following analysis:

The function y = x ^ n , when x approaches infinity, where does y tend? Of course it tends to infinity as well, therefore it has no horizontal asymptotes (and neither vertical nor oblique)

With respect to the function y= \frac{1}{x} we ​​can verify that if it has asymptote horizontal in y = 0. Since when x approaches infinity the function is closer to the value 0.

For example: 1/2 = 0.5;   1/1000 = 0.001;    1/100000 = 0.00001 and so on. As "x" grows "y" approaches zero

Also, when x approaches 0, the function approaches infinity, in other words, when x tends to 0 y tends to infinity. For example: 1 / 0.5 = 2; 1 / 0.1 = 10; 1 / 0.01 = 100 and so on. This means that the function also has an asymptote at x = 0

Find the value of x.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

\textsf{x=22.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\textsf{According to intersecting tangent - secant theorem,}

\textsf{x=1/2[(4x+5)-50]}

\textsf{2(x)=4x+5-50}

\textsf{2x=4x-45}

\textsf{2x-4x=-45}

\textsf{-2x=-45}

\textsf{x= -45/-2}

\textsf{x=22.5}

5x + 3 = 6x – 1<br> Solve for the solution
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 6x from both sides.

5x+3−6x=6x−1−6x

−x+3=−1

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

−x+3−3=−1−3

−x=−4

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−x/−1 = −4/−1

x=4
