Let the time taken by Vince to complete the race was x hours. 
Maury completed the race 1.5 hours faster. This means Maury complete the race in (x - 1.5) hours.

Average Speed of Maury = 16 miles per hour
Average Speed of Vince = 12 miles per hour

Distance = Speed x Time.

For Maury:
Distance = 16(x - 1.5)

For Vince:
Distance = 12x

Since the distance covered by both was the same, we can equate the two equations as:

16(x - 1.5) = 12x
16x - 24 = 12x
4x = 24
x = 6 
This means Vince complete the race in 6 hours.

Distance = Speed x Time = 12 x 6 = 72 miles

Thus, the total distance of the race was 72 miles.

The terminal side of an angle in standard position passes through p(–3, –4). what is the value of tangent theta?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

  4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of any angle (θ) in standard position that has point (x, y) on its terminal ray is ...

  tan(θ) = y/x

__

For the given point on the terminal side, the tangent is ...

  tan(θ) = (-4)/(-3) = 4/3

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There are several ways this can be explained. One of them makes use of the relation between rectangular and polar coordinates:

  (x, y) = (r·cos(θ), r·sin(θ))

Then the ratio y/x is ...

  y/x = (r·sin(θ))/(r·cos(θ)) = sin(θ)/cos(θ) = tan(θ)

What is the distance between the points (-3, 1) and (1, 3)?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

4.47

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

2^2+4^2=c^2

4+16=c^2

20=C^2

\sqrt{20}= \sqrt{c^2}

4.47=c

Is 48 a perfect cube? Explain your reasoning.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

No

Reasoning:

If something is a perfect cube, it is able to be put under a cube root (\sqrt[3]{..}) and will result in an integer (a non-decimal number > 0, basically).

So let's calculate \sqrt[3]{48}, and see if the result is an integer.

\sqrt[3]{48} = 3.634.......

As you can see, the result is not an integer, therefore 48 is not a perfect cube.

Find The distance between (-3,1) and (-1,6). If necessary,round to the nearest tenth.
kifflom [539]
Use distance formula:-

distance =  sqrt  [ (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) ]

let (x1,y1) = (-3,1) and (x2,y2) = (-1,6)   Plug these values in to formula.
