Answer:

a) The trains will be 1520 km apart at 2:40 pm for the cargo train and at 4:40 pm for the passenger train.

b) At that time the cargo train has traveled 560.04 km and the passenger train has traveled 960.12 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) First, we need to find the distance traveled by the cargo train in the two hours before the passenger train leaves Chicago:

x_{1} = v_{1}t_{1} = 120 km/h*2h = 240 km                    

Now, we can find the time when the trains will be 1520 km apart:

1520 km = (x_{1} + 240 km) + x_{2}      

Where 1 is for the cargo train and 2 is for the passenger train.

1520 km = (v_{1}*t_{1} + 240 km) + v_{2}t_{2}      

Since we need to calculate the time when the trains are 1520 km apart, t₁ = t₂, so:

1520 km = (v_{1}*t + 240 km) + v_{2}t              

t = \frac{1520 km - 240 km}{120 km/h + 360 km/h} = 2.667h

For the cargo train, it will be 1520 km apart from the passenger train at:

t_{1} = 12 pm + 2 h + 40 min = 2:40 pm

And for a passenger train, it will be 1520 km apart from the cargo train at:

t_{2} = 2 pm + 2 h + 40 min = 4:40 pm  

Hence, the trains will be 1520 km apart at 2:40 pm for the cargo train and at 4:40 pm for the passenger train.  

b) The distance traveled by both trains is given by:

x_{1} = v_{1}*t + 240 km = 120 km/h*2.667 h + 240 km = 560.04 km    

x_{2} = v_{2}*t = 360 km/h*2.667 h = 960.12 km    

Therefore, at that time the cargo train has traveled 560.04 km and the passenger train has traveled 960.12 km.

I hope it helps you!

Triangle XYZ has vertices X(2,4), Y(3,4) and Z(3,8). Suppose you reflect this across the y-axis, then dilate it with a scale fac
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

X'' (-4, 8)

Y'' (-6, 8)

Z'' (-6, 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for reflecting across the y-axis is (x, y) -> (-x, y)

When you dilate by a scale factor of 2 about the origin, multiply each coordinate point by 2.

X (2, 4) -> (-2, 4) -> (-4, 8)

Y (3, 4) -> (-3, 4) -> (-6, 8)

Z ( 3, 8) -> (-3, 8) -> (-6, 16)
