Answer:

50 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

OK, this is how I solved this problem.

Let r = original rate of speed

     t = time after the stop to finish the trip

Time for trip without stopping is 225/r

(1)     1.5 + .5 + t = 225/r      This is a time equation

(2)    1.5r + t(r + 10) = 225     This is a distance equation

(1)       2 + t = 225/r            (2)      1.5r + tr + 10t = 225

         2r + tr = 225

                tr = 225 - 2r                 1.5r + 225 - 2r + 10(225/r - 2) = 225

                t = 225/r - 2

                                                   -.5r + 225 + 2250/r - 20 = 225

                                                     -5r + 2250 + 22500/r - 200 = 2250

                                                     -5r^2 + 2250r + 22500 - 200r = 2250r

                                                       5r^2 + 200r - 22500 = 0

                                                       5(r^ + 40r - 4500) = 0

                                                           5(r - 50)(r + 90) = 0

                                                                 r = 50   or    r = -90

The rate cannot be negative, so the original speed 50 km/hr

This not an easy problem and I hope you were able to follow my work

suter [353]

Answer:

100r^4 + 400r^3 + 600r^2 + 400r + 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding ( r + 1 )^4 gives :-

r^4 + 4r^3 + 6r^2 + 4r + 1

So multiplying 100 with r^4 + 4r^3 + 6r^2 + 4r + 1 gives :-

100r^4 + 400r^3 + 600r^2 + 400r + 100

Please help me with 8, 9, and 10 thanks! Show work too
Harrizon [31]
In 8, 9, 10, all the triangles are similar, meaning corresponding sides have the same ratio.

8. hypotenuse / (short side) = 25/x = x/9
  x² = 25*9 = 5²×3²
  x = √(5²×3²) = 5*3 = 15

9. (long side) / (short side) = x/7 = 9/x
  x² = 7*9
  x = √(9*7) = 3√7

10. (short side) / (long side) = x/48 = 48/64
  x = 48²/64 = 36
