Answer:

25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance between 2 cities = 145 miles

Time taken by truck = 2. 5 hours

Speed of car = 5 times the speed of truck

Speed of truck = distance / time

Speed of truck = 145 / 2.5

Speed of truck = 58 mph

Speed of car = 5 * 58 = 290 miles per hour

Time it takes to meet :

Time taken = distance / combined speed

Time taken = 145 / (290 + 58)

Time taken = 145 / 348

Time taken = 0.4166666 hours

Time taken = 0.4166666 * 60 = 25 minutes

Which point do all exponential functions of the form y=a^x pass through
Bezzdna [24]
The answer should be A.

When we see the equation y=a^x we can relate to all the exponential functions, however, when the problem asked what points does all equations in that form pass through. I was instantly reminded by two facts.

One is that any number to the first is equal to itself. In other words, a^1=a

Another is that any number to the zero is equal to 1. a^x=1
if that is true, 1 will always be the x value since y=a^x and 0 will always be the x value because that is how y can be equal to one.
therefore, the answer is A: (0,1)

No, in order to do the correct ratio she would have needed to add 4.5 pints to 3 pints because if you divide 9:6 by 2 it is 4.5:3 not 4:3

prisoha [69]

Answer:

A company produces electric insulators. The strength of the insulators is important since a broken insulator may cause a short circuit. Unfortunately, the strength varies significantly due to the material. Because of the expense, only a limited number of insulators could be tested. The engineers sampled 25 insulators (From a production run of 200), and conducted a destructive test to determine the force that was required to break the insulators. The mean value of this force was 1723 lbf with a sample standard deviation of 90 lbf. You may approximate the population standard deviation with the sample standard deviation for the following questions. a. Determine if the population is large enough or if a finite population correction (FPC) factor is needed. If so, what is the FPC factor? b. For 95% confidence, determine the margin of error (+ lbf) c. For these conditions, estimate the range of the probable population mean. Provide lower and upper values. For 95% confidence, determine the margin of error ( Assume the same mean and sample standard deviation. What is one advantage and one disadvantage of using 50 insulators instead of 25 insulators? d. lbf) if 50 insulators were tested.

Follow the process of completing the square to solve 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0.
Rom4ik [11]
Please:  Use "^" to denote exponentiation:  <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Reduce this by div. every term by 2:             </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0

Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6.  Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:

</span> x^2 + 4x +4  - 4 - 6 = 0.  Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation

(x+2)^2 = 10.  Take the sqrt of both sides:   x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).

Finally, solve for x:  x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).
