Answer:
It took Jen 4 hours to catch up with Laura
Step-by-step explanation:
Gaining speed 45-30= 15 mph
Laura's head start 30×2=60 miles
Time for Jen to catch up 60÷15= 4 hours
In other words
30(t+2)= 45t
30t+60= 45t
60=45t-30t
60= 15t
t=4 hours
3 = -(-y + 6)
First, simplify brackets. / Your problem should look like: 3 = y - 6
Second, add 6 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3 + 6 = y
Third, simplify 3 + 6 to 9. / Your problem should look like: 9 = y
Fourth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: y = 9
The answer is D) 9.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Simple interest is
A = P(1+rt)
Where A is the amount in the account
P is the principle invested
r is the rate and
t is the time
6593.75 = 5000( 1+ .0425*t)
Divide each side by 5000
6593.75/5000 = ( 1+ .0425*t)
1.31475 = ( 1+ .0425*t)
Subtract 1 from each side
.31475 = .0425t
Divide each side by.0425
.31475/.0425 = .0425t/.0425
7.405882353 = t

These are the easy questions, the rest will have a square root and a a number outside.
1/2sqrt((x_1^2+y_1^2)(x_2^2+y_2^2))
The area of a triangle is equal to 1/2bh (one half base times height). Since this is a right triangle, the base and height are the two legs connected to the 90* angle. To find the values of these sides, we will use Pythagorean Theorem, root a squared plus b squared.
Short leg: <x(1),y(1)>
This leg can be seen as the hypotenuse of an invisible right triangle. The x value, x(1), is how far over the x value has gone from the origon at x=0. Imagine a leg alone the x-axis, going from (0,0) to (x(1),0). The y value of the point, y(1), works the same way. This leg will go from our previous mark at (x(1),0) to the point (x(1),y(1)). This shows that the short leg of the main triangle is the hypotenuse, with a height of y(1) and base of x(1). Pythagoreum Theorem shows that the length of this leg is equal to sqrt(x_1^2+y_1^2).
Long leg: <x(2), y(2)>
The same process works here, giving us sqrt(x_2^2+y_2^2).
Now for the area, we have the b and h values. Our equation reads 1/2sqrt(x_1^2+y_1^2)sqrt(x_2^2+y_2^2).
But we can simplify this (yay). The two square roots can be written together as sqrt((x_1^2+y_1^2)(x_2^2+y_2^2))
So the correct answer is 1/2sqrt((x_1^2+y_1^2)(x_2^2+y_2^2))
