Two cars leave an intersection at the same time. One drives east while the other travels south at 25 miles per hour faster than the other. After 2 hours, the cars are 250 miles apart. How fast is the southbound car driving?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

c is the Hypotenuse (side opposite of the right angle), which is in our case the distance of the 2 cars.

after 2 hours the east car was driving x miles. and the south car was driving x + 2×25 = x + 50 miles.

x² + (x + 50)² = 250²

x² + x² + 100x + 2,500 = 62,500

2x² + 100x = 60,000

x² + 50x = 30,000

x² + 50x - 30,000 = 0

the solution for a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 50

c = -30,000

x = (-50 ± sqrt(2500 - 4×1×-30000))/(2×1) =

= (-50 ± sqrt(2500 + 120000)/2 =

= (-50 ± sqrt(122500))/2 = (-50 ± 350)/2 =

= -25 ± 175

x1 = -25 + 175 = 150 miles

x2 = -25 - 175 = -200 miles.

negative distances don't make any sense here in our scenario, so the solution is x = 150 miles.

therefore, the east car was going 75 mph (traveled in 2 hours 150 miles).

and the south car was going 75 + 25 = 100 mph (traveled in 2 hours 200 miles).

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by analyzing if the event causes the result. If it does not, then there is correlation but not necessarily causation

A. Event: Rainfall. Result: Water level rises

Does rainfall cause an increase in water level? Yes, so this is incorrect

B. Event: Temperature increase. Result: Ice melting

Does an increase in temperature cause ice to melt faster? Yes, so this is incorrect

C. Event: More people have vision loss. Result: Hearing aids sales increase

Does more people having vision loss cause hearing aids sales to increase? No, vision loss does not cause a need for hearing aids -- hearing loss would, but vision loss does not. This is correct

D. Event: A student makes fewer mistakes. Result: A better grade

Do fewer mistakes cause better grades? Yes, so this is incorrect

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 1) and has a

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x1 = -2

y1 = 1

slope (m) = 3/2

Solution:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - 1 = 3/2 ( x - (-2) )

y - 1 = 3/2 ( x + 2 )

y - 1 = 3/2x + 3

y = 3/2x + 3 + 1

Here (x + 2) with h = - 2 , then

f(- 2) = (- 2)³ - 7(- 2)² + 2(- 2) - 8

Answers

Answer:

14 months

Step-by-step explanation:

5000=1,500+250m

m=months

5000-1500= 3500

3500=250m

3500÷250=14

14=m

Answer:

14 months

Step-by-step explanation:

He already payed $1,500 of the $5,000 payment.

$5,000 - $1,500

So that means he has $3,500 left to pay.

If he is going to pay $250 per month.

Then do $3,500 divided by $250.

$3,500 ÷ $250

Which is 14 months.

if we changed the –0.14 to a 2 in the equation, what would happen to the graph?

Answers

If -0.14 is changed to 2, the graph would become a positive graph, or it would be steeper, because it has a positive slope

The equation of the graph is given as:

[tex]y = -0.14x + 3[/tex]

The above equation is a linear equation, which is represented as:

[tex]y =mx + c[/tex]

Where m represents the slope of the linear equation.

By comparison, we have:

[tex]m = -0.14[/tex]

i.e. the slope of the equation [tex]y = -0.14x + 3[/tex] is -0.14

When -0.14 is replaced with 2, the equation becomes

[tex]y = 2x + 3[/tex]

And the slope of the new equation [tex]y = 2x + 3[/tex] is

[tex]m =2[/tex]

2 is greater than -0.14, and 2 is positive.

This means that the graph would become a positive graph, or it would be steeper, because it has a positive slope

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (Two-fifths, StartFraction 19 Over 20 EndFraction) and (one-third, StartFraction 11 Over 12 EndFraction) in slope-intercept form

Answers

Answer: y = 1/2x + .75

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Find the slope.

Solve for [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

[tex]y2-y1 = \frac{11}{12} -\frac{19}{20}[/tex]

[tex]x2-x1 = \frac{1}{3} -\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

To solve for the fractions you need a common denominator.

[tex]y2-y1 = \frac{11*20}{12*20} -\frac{19*12}{20*12} = \frac{220}{240} -\frac{228}{240}=\frac{-8}{240} = \frac{-1}{30}[/tex]

[tex]x2-x1 = \frac{1*5}{3*5} -\frac{2*3}{5*3} = \frac{5}{15} -\frac{6}{15}=\frac{-1}{15}[/tex]

To divide fractions you keep (the first equation), change (the division sign to multiplication), and flip (the second fraction).

[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{\frac{-1}{30} }{\frac{-1}{15} } = \frac{-1}{30}*\frac{15}{-1} =\frac{-15}{-30}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step 2: Plug slope and a point into y=mx+b to solve for b.

[tex]\frac{11}{12}[/tex] = ([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex])*([tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex])+b

[tex]\frac{11}{12}[/tex] = ([tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex])+b

[tex]\frac{11}{12}-\frac{1}{6}[/tex] = b

[tex]\frac{11*6}{12*6}-\frac{1*12}{6*12}=\frac{66}{72} -\frac{12}{72} =\frac{54}{72}=.75[/tex]

b = .75

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}+.75[/tex]

Solve the system by graphing. Y=2x-9 y=-2x-1

Answers

Answer:

(2,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment

One can also solve this by calculation:

y=2x-9

y=-2x-1

-

Rearrange either equation to find x.  I'll use the first:

y=2x-9

2x = y+9

x = (y+9)/2

Now use this value of x in the second equation:

y =  -2x-1

y =-2((y+9)/2)-1

y = (-2y-18)/2)-1

y = -y -9 - 1

2y = -10

y = -5

Now use -5 for y in the rearranged equation:

y =  -2x-1

-5 =  -2x-1

-2x = -4

x = 2

Solution is (2,-5)
