Answer: \frac{170}{X}+\frac{170}{X-9}=2

(=)17 0x +170x+1530=2x²+18x

(=)-2 x² +322x+1530=0

Δ=b²-4ac

Δ=115924

\sqrt{}Δ=340,476>0

because Δ>0 so that 2 X

=>x₁=2 (true), x₂=-161(false)

X+9= 2+9=11

first travel 2 mi/hr

second travel 11 mi/hr

A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 80 feet per second. The function h = -16t^2 + 80t models the height h,
irakobra [83]

The ball hits the ground when the height  h(t) = 0 , so

-16t^2 + 80t = 0

-16t(t - 5) = 0

t- 5 = 0  or -16t^2 = 0 (  here t = 0 which corresponds to when ball is thrown)

t - 5 = 0 gives:-

t = 5 seconds  (answer)

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 5) and (6,4).
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The slope of the line is \frac{1}{-4}.

We use the formula change in y over change in x to find the slope:

\frac{5-4}{2-6}

Then we simplify:

\frac{1}{-4}

The slope of the line is \frac{1}{-4}.
