Answer:

  1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

I find these easiest to work by considering the initial difference in distance and the speed at with that gap is closing.

__

The gap is 15 miles, the distance the first ship is from harbor when the second ship starts.

The rate of closure is the difference in the speeds of the two ships:

  60 mph -45 mph = 15 mph

Then the closure time is ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (15 mi)/(15 mi/h) = 1 h

It will take the second ship 1 hour to catch up to the first ship.

Can someone help me with this. I tried to total all them up with 180 but none of the answers i got match the ones from the riddl

Answer:

9. x=102

10. x=56

11. x=104

12. x=138

Step-by-step explanation:

9.  In this problem, they are alternate exterior angles, meaning they are the same value.  x=102

10.  x is a corresponding angle, meaning they are the same. x=56

11. There are consecutive interior angles. The sum of these two angles is 180. to find x, subtract 76 from 180.  180-76 = 104  x = 104

12. These two angles are verticle angles, meaning they are equivalent. x = 138

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 3x² - 5x - 4

g(x) = -4x - 12

Step 2: Find f(g(x))

f(g(x)) = 3(-4x - 12)² - 5(-4x - 12) - 4

f(g(x)) = 3(16x² + 96x + 144) + 20x + 60 + 4

f(g(x)) = 48x² + 288x + 432 + 20x + 64

f(g(x)) = 48x² + 308x + 496

Step 3: Find f(g(-4))

f(g(-4)) = 48(-4)² + 308(-4) + 496

f(g(-4)) = 48(16) - 1232 + 496

f(g(-4)) = 768 - 736

f(g(-4)) = 32

A small combination lock on a suitcase has 4 ​wheels, each labeled with the 10 digits 0 to 9. how many 4 digit combinations are
tamaranim1 [39]
This is the easiest way to solve this problem:

Imagine this represents how many combinations you can have for each of the 4 wheels (each blank spot for one wheel): __ __ __ __

For the first situation it says how many combos can we make if no digits are repeated.
We have 10 digits to use for the first wheel so put a 10 in the first slot 
10 __ __ __
Since no digit can be repeated we only have 9 options for the second slot
10 9_ __ __
Same for the third slot, so only 8 options
<u>10</u> <u> 9 </u> <u> 8 </u> __
4th can't be repeated so only 7 options left
<u>10</u> <u> 9 </u> <u> 8 </u> <u> 7 
</u><u>
</u>Multiply the four numbers together: 10*9*8*7 = 5040 combinations


For the next two do the same process as the one above.

If digits can be repeated? You have ten options for every wheel so it would look like this: <u>10</u> <u>10</u> <u>10</u> <u>10
</u>
10*10*10*10 = 10,000 combinations

If successive digits bust be different?
We have 10 for the first wheel, but second wheel only has 9 options because 2nd number can't be same as first. The third and fourth wheels also has 9 options for the same reason.

<u>10</u> <u> 9</u><u> </u> <u> 9 </u> <u> 9 </u>

10*9*9*9 = 7290 combinations
