Two cars are heading toward the same intersection. Car A travels due east at 20 miles per hour, and Car B travels due north at 50 miles per hour. At what rate, in miles per hour, is the distance between the two cars decreasing when Car A is 0.375 miles from the intersection and Car B is 0.5 miles from the intersection?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the distance between them is decreasing at a rate of 2 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

List all given rates and the unknown rate.

Write the formula that relates the variables in the problem: x, y, and s.

There’s a right triangle in the diagram, so you use the Pythagorean Theorem:

For this problem, x and y are the legs of the right triangle, and s is the hypotenuse, so

Differentiate with respect to t.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem again to solve for s.

x = 0.4

y = 0.3

You can reject the negative answer because s obviously has a positive length. So s = 0.5.

Now you’ve got everything you need to substitute into the differentiation result and solve for ds/dt.

This negative answer means that the distance, s, is decreasing. Thus, when car A is 3 blocks north of the intersection and car B is 4 blocks east of the intersection, the distance between them is decreasing at a rate of 2 mph.

solving systems of linear inequalities

Answers

Answer:

YES. (2, 7) is a solution of the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

System of linear inequalities has been given as,

y ≥ -x + 1 --------(1)

y < 4x + 2 ------(2)

If (2, 7) is a solution of the given system of inequalities, it will satisfy both the inequalities.

By substituting the coordinates of point (2, 7) in inequality (1),

7 ≥ -2 + 1

7 ≥ -1

True.

By substituting the coordinates of point (2, 7) in inequality (2),

7 < 4(2) + 1

7 < 9

True.

Therefore, point (2, 7) lie in the solution area of system of inequalities.

YES. (2, 7) is a solution of the system.

Factor the expression completely.

Answers

Answer:

Factoring the expression [tex]xy^4+x^4y^4[/tex] completely we get [tex]\mathbf{xy^4(x+1)(x^2-x+1)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor the expression [tex]xy^4+x^4y^4[/tex] completely

We need to find common terms in the expression.

Looking at the expression, we get [tex]xy^4[/tex] is common in both terms, so we can write:

[tex]xy^4+x^4y^4\\=xy^4(1+x^3)[/tex]

So, taking out the common expression we get: [tex]xy^4(1+x^3)[/tex]

Now, we can factor the term (1+x^3) or we can write (x^3+1) by using formula:

[tex]a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)[/tex]

So, we get:

[tex]xy^4(1+x^3)\\=xy^4(x^3+1)\\Applying\:the\:formula\;of\:a^3+b^3\\=xy^4(x+1)(x^2-x+1)[/tex]

Therefor factoring the expression [tex]xy^4+x^4y^4[/tex] completely we get [tex]\mathbf{xy^4(x+1)(x^2-x+1)}[/tex]

if 72 is 40% what is 100%?

Answers

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

If 40% = 72, 100% can be found like so:

40% = 72

100% =  [tex]\frac{100}{1}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{72}{40}[/tex]

You can reduce 40 and 100 by 20 (or probably more, but I'll use 20)

So now we have:

[tex]\frac{50}{1}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{72}{20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3600}{20}[/tex]

Divide, and you get 180.

To check, we can find 40% of 180.

A stuffy normally costs $12, but this week it is on sale for $9. What is the Percent of Change on the stuffy?

Answers

Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that a stuffy normally costs $12, but that this week it is on sale for $9.

The Percent of Change on the stuffy will be calculated as:

= Change / Normal cost × 100

= (12 -9) / 12 × 100

= 3/12 × 100

= 1/4 × 100

= 25%

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. It is a one-to-one function

Step-by-step explanation:

A function f(x), is a one to one function when each value in the range is given by each unique value in the domain such that each "x" value produces a unique "y" value.

The given graph has a domain of -2 ≤ x < ∞

Within the domain plotted in the graph, all lines with equation "x" = -2, -1, 0..., 4, 5 crosses the graph only once, therefore, for each value of "x", there is only one value of "y", which gives the relationship between the "x" and "y" values as one to one function

Answer:

[tex]2x(4x+3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to factorising this expression is to find the greatest common factor (GCF). For 8x² and 6x the gcf is 2x. So now we divide the 8x² and 6x by the 2x. Which comes out to 4x and 3, these will be inside the parentheses.

So it'll factorise to [tex]2x(4x+3)[/tex] and remember when we are dividing with exponents we subtract the exponents. So [tex]\frac{8x^2}{2x}[/tex] we will divide the coefficients together that'll be 4 and now for the exponents the 2 on the x² minus the 1 on the x will equal 1 so it'll be just x we don't place a one or anything.

Answers

Answer: It will take 6 years for 7500 grams of X to reach 6900 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

[tex]t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}[/tex]

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant  

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:  

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

[tex]51=\frac{0.69}{k}[/tex]

[tex]k=\frac{0.69}{51}=0.0135years^{-1}[/tex]

b) for  7500 g to reach to 6900 g

[tex]t=\frac{2.303}{0.0135}\log\frac{7500}{6900}[/tex]

[tex]t=6years[/tex]

It will take 6 years for 7500 grams of X to reach 6900 grams.
