Answer:

3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first clarify how a number is rounded.

To round a number to unity we have to look at the first number after the comma.

If this number is less than 5 (1, 2, 3, 4) we should not do anything, but if that number is 5 or greater (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) we must add a unit to the number.

That is to say:

<5 do nothing

=> 5 round to the next number (+1)

So in the case of 3.55 it would be.

3.55 = 3.6

Two passenger trains 190 miles apart are headed toward each other on the same track—one at 50 mph and the other at 80 mph. Ironm

frozen [14]

190-(50+80)t=0

190-130t=0

130t=190

t=19/13 so the trains will remain apart for 19/13 hours.

Since ironman is flying at a constant rate of 150mph he will fly:

150(19/13)≈219.23 miles in that time period while the trains are apart.

The solutions to the inequality y > −3x + 2 are shaded on the graph. Which point is a solution? (0, 2) (2, 0) (1, −2) (−2, 1)

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of the inequality $y>-3x+2$ is shown in attached diagram.

The boundary line is dotted line, because the sign of inequality is without notion "or equal to". The dotted line means that points lying on this line are not solutions of the inequality. The solutions are those points lying in the shaded region.

From the points (0,2), (2,0), (1,-2), (-2,1) only point (2,0) lies on the shaded region, so only point (2,0) is a solution to the inequality
