A map of a highway has a scale of 2 inches = 39 miles. The length of the highway on the map is 9 inches. There are 7 rest stops

equally spaced on the
highway, including one at each end. You are making a new map with a scale of 1 inch = 30 miles. How far apart are the rest stops on the new map?

Scale : 2 inches = 39 miles

The length of the highway on the map is 9 inches -> the real length of it = 39 x 9 : 2 = 175.5 (miles)

There are 7 rest stops equally spaced => There are 7-1 = 6 equal distance between the rest stops

So, every rest stop is 175.5 : 6 = 29.25 miles apart from each other.

With a scale of 1 inch = 30 miles, each rest stop will be 29.25 : 30 = 0.975 inches apart from each other on the new map.

Angela can complete 3 RCA problems in 2 minute.how many problems during 2 hours of tutoring?
Taya2010 [7]
Well how many minutes are in an hour? 60. 60/2 is 30, so she can complete 30 problems in an hour. Since it's 30 for one hour, that means she can solve 60 in 2 hours.

A tank with a capacity of 500 gal originally contains 200 gal of water with 100 lb of salt in solution. Water containing 1 lb of
saw5 [17]

Let A(t) denote the amount of salt in the tank at time t.

Salt flows in at a rate of

(1 lb/gal) * (3 gal/min) = 3 lb/min

and flows out at a rate of

(A(t)/(200 + t) lb/gal) * (2 gal/min) = 2 A(t)/(500 + t)

(in case you're unsure about the denominator: the tank starts off with 200 gal of solution, and each minute solution flows in at a rate of 3 gal/min and thus the tank gains (3 gal/min) * (1 min) = 3 gal. At the same time, solution flows out at a rate of 2 gal/min and thus the tank loses 2 gal, giving a net change in volume of (3 - 2)*t = t gal)

Then the net rate of salt flow is given by the ODE,

\dfrac{\mathrm dA(t)}{\mathrm dt}-\dfrac{2A(t)}{200+t}=3

Multiply both sides by (200+t)^{-2}:

(200+t)^{-1}\dfrac{\mathrm dA(t)}{\mathrm dt}-2(200+t)^{-3}A()=3(200+t)^{-2}

\implies\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\bigg((200+t)^{-2}A(t)\bigg)=3(200+t)^{-2}

Integrating both sides and solving for A(t) gives

(200+t)^{-2}A(t)=-\dfrac3{200+t}+C

A(t)=-2(200+t)+C(200+t)^2

The tank starts off with 100 lb of salt in solution, so A(0)=100 and we find

100=-2(200)+C(200)^2\implies C=\dfrac1{80}

and so

A(t)=-2(200+t)+\dfrac{(200+t)^2}{80}=\dfrac{(200+t)(40+t)}{80}

The tank will begin to overflow once the volume of solution reaches 500 gal; this happens when

500=200+t\implies t=300

or 300 minutes or 5 hours after solution starts flowing. At this point, the tank will contain

A(300)=2125

or 2125 lb of salt.

Theoretically, the amount of salt in the tank will increase forever, since A(t)\to\infty as t\to\infty.

kai picked 11 times as many blueberries as nico. Together they pick 936 bluebarries. how many blueberries did each boy pick.
zalisa [80]
First you need to break it down. If Kai picked 11 times more blueberries then Nico, the amount of blueberries he picked multiplied by the amount of blueberries Kai picked would be 936. Nico had to have picked more blueberries then ten, because 10x11 is only 110, and that isnt 936. He had to have picked more then 20, because 20x11 is 222. And he picked more then 30 because 30x11 is only 333. Normally I would keep on doing this, and soon you will get to 85. Thats your answer, and i hope i kinda helped you

What are the factors of x^2-8x-20
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

(x+2)(x−10)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-8x-20

Factoring means  something like  this:

(x+_)(x+_)

Add together to get -8

Multiply together to get -20

think of the two numbers

Try 2 and -10:

2+-10 = -8

2*-10 = -20

Fill in the blanks of  with 2 and -10 to get

(x+_)(x+_) = (x+2)(x−10)

I hope it's right!

If f(x) = 4(3x - 5), find f^-1(x)
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call f(x)=y, so y= 4*(3*x-5), we want to find 'x', using 'y' as a the variable.

y=12x-20\\ y+20=12x\\ x=\frac{y+20}{12}

Now lets change the name of 'y' to 'x', and 'x' to f^-1(x).

f-1(x) = (x+20)/12
