The answer is B, and here's why.  Set up a table for "there" and "back" and use the distance = rate * time formula, like this:
               d             r            t
there       d           450         t
back        d           400        1-t

Let me explain this table to you.  The distance is d, we don't know what it is, that's what we are actually looking for.  We only know that if we go somewhere from point A to point B, then back again to point A, the distance there is the same as the distance back.  Hence, the d in both spaces.  There he flew 450 mph, back he flew 400 mph.  If the total distance was 1 hour, he flew an unknown time there and one hour minus that unknown time back.  For example, if he flew for 20 minutes there, one hour minus 20 minutes means that he flew 60 minutes - 20 minutes = 40 minutes back.  See? Now, because the distance there = the distance back, we can set the rt in both equal to each other.  If d = rt there and d = rt back and the d's are the same, then we can set the rt's equal to each other.  450t = 400(1-t) and
450t = 400 - 400t and 850t = 400.  Solve for t to get t = .47058.  Now, t is time, not the distance and we are looking for distance. So multiply that t value by the rate (cuz d = r*t) to get that the distance one way is
d = 450(.470580 and d = 211. 76 or, rounded like you need, 212.

1 5/6 divided by 2 1/8 by writing it out to solve the problem. STEP BY STEP
Artist 52 [7]
1 5/6 divided by 2 1/8
1) you must change the mixed numbers into improper fractions
2) 1 5/6 is 11/6 and 2 1/8 is 17/8
3) then you must change the operation from division to multiplication
4) then you have to find the recipricol of 17/8 (flip it) and it will be 8/17
5) Finally, you multiply and you will get 88/102: 11/6x8/17=88/102 amd yoy can simplify if asked

Answer:

a). 8(x + a)

b). 8(h + 2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Given function is, f(x) = 8x²

    For x = a,

    f(a) = 8a²

    Now substitute these values in the expression,

    \frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a} = \frac{8x^2-8a^2}{x-a}

                  = \frac{8(x^2-a^2)}{(x-a)}

                  = \frac{8(x-a)(x+a)}{(x-a)}

                  = 8(x + a)

b). \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} = \frac{8(x+h)^2-8x^2}{h}

                      = \frac{8(x^2+h^2+2xh)-8x^2}{h}

                      = \frac{8x^2+8h^2+16xh-8x^2}{h}

                      = (8h + 16x)

                      = 8(h + 2x)

Answer:

2(\frac{1}{2} *20*50)+2(\frac{1}{2} *20*10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is \frac{1}{2} *b*h

The triangles that can be made is the triangle that has legs 20 and 50 and the triangle that has legs 20 and 10.

Since there are 2 of each triangles, we get:

2(\frac{1}{2} *20*50)+2(\frac{1}{2} *20*10)

The answer that fits is the first option.

Simplify.<br> -5x^4(-3x^2+4x-2)
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

3x^6 - 4x^5 + 2x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-5x^4 ( -3x^2 + 4x - 2)

Step 1 : open the bracket with -5x^4

-5x^4 * -3x^2= 15x^6

Hint: - * - = +

x^4 * x ^2 = x^ 4+2 = x^6

-5x^4 * + 4x = - 20x^5

Hint: - * + = -

x^4 * x = x^4 + 1 = x^5

(x is always raise to the power of 1 but we don't write it or less it is greater than 1 e.g. 2 , 3 ,4, ..........)

-5x^4 * -2 = 10x^4

Hint: - *- = +

Let's combine the answers

15x^6 - 20x^5 + 10x^4

We can look for a factor that can go through as in that can divide all without a reminder

Factors of

15 - 3 * 5

1 * 15

20 - 4 *5

2 *10

1 * 20

10 - 2*5

1 * 10

Since the factor of 5 is common in all, so we are using 5 to divide through

15x^6 - 20x^5 + 10x^4

Using 5 to divide through

15x^6 / 5 - 20x^5 / 5 + 10x^4 / 5

= 3x^6 - 4x^5 + 2x^4
