Find the duration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time : 9:00am to 10:15am
Duration: 1hour 15 mins or 1.25hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find difference in distance travelled between the two cyclists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difference in speed = 6km/h
1 hour = 6 km
1.25 hours = 7.5km

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the distance the cyclist traveled
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42.5 - 7.5 = 35km
35km ÷ 2 = 17.5km

The slower cyclist traveled 17.5 km in the 1.25 hours

17.5 + 7.5 = 25 km

The faster cyclist traveled 25km in the 1.25 hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the slower cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 17.5 km
1 hour = 17.25 ÷ 1.25
1 hour = 14km

The cyclist was traveling at 14km/h

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the faster cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 25km
1 hour = 25 ÷ 1.25
1hour = 20 km

The cyclist was traveling at 20km/hour

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The speed were 14km/h and 20 km/h

Write 3x^2-18x-6 in vertex form

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The standard form of a quadratic equation is $\displaystyle{ y=ax^2+bx+c$ , while the vertex form is:

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$ , where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

What we want is to write $\displaystyle{ y=3x^2-18x-6$ as $y=a(x-h)^2+k$

First, we note that all the three terms have a factor of 3, so we factorize it and write:

$\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2)$ .

Second, we notice that $x^2-6x$ are the terms produced by $(x-3)^2=x^2-6x+9$ , without the 9. So we can write:

$x^2-6x=(x-3)^2-9$ , and substituting in $\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2)$ we have:

$\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2)=3[(x-3)^2-9-2]=3[(x-3)^2-11]$ .

Finally, distributing 3 over the two terms in the brackets we have:

$y=3[x-3]^2-33$ .

Answer: $y=3(x-3)^2-33$

If 30 buses can carry 1,500 people, how many people can 5 buses carry? A 200 © 500 B 250 D 750

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 250 \ people}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

$\frac {buses}{people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {5 \ buses}{x \ people}$

$\frac {30 }{1500 }=\frac {5 }{x }$

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.

$30*x=1500*5\\30x=7500$

Solve for x. It is being multiplied by 30. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 30.

$30x/30=7500\\x=250$

5 buses can carry 250 people.
