Runner A crosses the starting line of a marathon and runs at an average pace of 5.6 miles per hour. Half an hour later, Runner B crosses the starting line and runs at an average rate of 6.4 miles per hour. If the length of the marathon is 26.2 miles, which runner will finish ahead of the other? Explain.



A.
Runner B; Runner B will pass Runner A and finish more than half an hour ahead of Runner A.


B.
Runner B; Runner B will catch up to Runner A 4 hours after Runner A crosses the starting line.


C.
Runner A; Runner B will not be able to catch Runner A in the time it takes Runner A to complete the 26.2 mile course.


D.
Runner B; Runner B will catch up to Runner A 3.5 hours after Runner A crosses the starting line.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Runner B; Runner B will catch up to Runner A 3.5 hours after Runner A crosses the starting line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Runner A:

Time it takes for him to finish:

t = 26.2/5.6 = 4.679 hours (to complete race)

.

Runner B:

Time it takes for him to finish:

t = 26.2/6.4 = 4.094 hours

BUT wait, we have to account for the extra .5 hours -- the time it took for him to cross the start line.

t = 4.094 + .5 = 4.594 hours

Answer:

[tex]m\angle N=57^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the isosceles-base theorem, the measure of the angles adjacent to the pair of congruent sides of the triangle are equal. Since the problem declares [tex]LM\cong LN[/tex], the remaining unknown angles are equal ([tex]m\angle N=m\angle M[/tex]). The sum of the interior angles of a triangle always add up to [tex]180^{\circ}$[/tex].

Therefore:

[tex]m\angle N\cdot 2+66=180,\\m\angle N\cdot 2=114,\\m\angle N=\fbox{$57^{\circ}$}[/tex] .

Answer:

LMN is rectangle in L so LMN= 180° ; ML=66°;N=?  N= 180°- 66°=114=114/2= 57° so N=57°

Step-by-step explanation:

When the angle at the top is close to 0 °, the two of the base get less than 180 °, or less than 90 ° for each. If the angle at the top is 60 °, the other two are: 180 - 60 = 120 °, and each is: 120/2 = 60 °.

A store advertises 15% off an item that regularly sells for $300

what is the price of the item?

Answers

The item would sell for $255 if it had a 15 percent discount

For this problem, we're finding the percent of 300. To do that we:

1. Multiply 300 by 15.

300 x 15 = 4500

2. Divide 4500 by 100. (% = 100)

4500 / 100 = 45

Therefore, the unit price is 45. But we're not done. We need to subtract 45 by 300.

300 - 45 = 255

Now, our answer is 255 and the unit price is 45.

A company has offices in 3 different cities and a rotal of 480 workers there are 90 workers in newyork and 130 workers in denver the rest of the workers are in san diego

Answers

Answer:

Workers in San Diego = 260 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

Total workers = 480

Number of offices = 3

In each office in different cities

New york = 90 workers

Denver = 130 workers

San Diego = x workers

Find x

Total number of workers = workers in New York + workers in Denver + workers in San Diego

480 = 90 + 130 + x

480 = 220 + x

480 - 220 = x

260 = x

x = 260 workers

Help!!! What is the difference ? (x - 8)/(3x) - (3x)/(x ^ 2)

Answers

Answer:

Given that you're providing only a single term, asking for a difference doesn't make a lot of sense.  I assume you're asking to have the expression simplified?

If so, then it can be reduced to (x - 17) / 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simplify by multiplying both terms each by a different ratio that equals one, but also gives the terms common denominator.  Multiplying the first one by x²/x² and the second by 3x/3x will do that for you.

After that you can group the terms into one fraction and simplify:

[tex]\frac{x - 8}{3x} - \frac{3x}{x^2} \\\\= \frac{x - 8}{3x}\times\frac{x^2}{x^2} - \frac{3x}{x^2} \times\frac{3x}{3x} \\\\= \frac{x^3 - 8x^2}{3x^3} - \frac{9x^2}{3x^3} \\\\= \frac{x^3 - 8x^2 - 9x^2}{3x^3} \\\\= \frac{x - 8 - 9}{3x}\\\\= \frac{x - 17}{3x}\\[/tex]

Answer:

The difference of [tex]\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}[/tex]  is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{x-17}{3x}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the difference: [tex]\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}[/tex]

Simplifying to find the difference:

[tex]\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}[/tex]

x is common in both 3x and x^2 so, we can cancel it out and we get:

[tex]=\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x(x)}\\=\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3}{x}[/tex]

Now, taking LCM of 3x and x we get 3x, We will multiply 3x with both terms and then solve we get:

[tex]=\frac{x-8-3(3)}{3x}\\=\frac{x-8-9}{3x}\\=\frac{x-17}{3x}[/tex]

It cannot be further simplified, so we get [tex]\frac{x-17}{3x}[/tex] as answer.

So, The difference of [tex]\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}[/tex]  is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{x-17}{3x}}[/tex]


Copy the expressions which are polynomials. Give reasons why the remaining are
not polynomials.
a)3x-2
b)p^2+1/p
c3y^2-2y/3+1

Answers

Answer: a and c are polynomials, b is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial p(x) is written as:

p(x) = aₙ*xⁿ + ... + a₂*x² + a₁*x¹ + a₀*x⁰

where x is the variable, and the numbers aₙ, aₙ₋₁, ..., a₁, a₀ are the coefficients of the polynomial, such that aₙ is the leading coefficient, and the value of n (always a natural number) is the degree of the polynomial.

Notice that the powers need to be always natural numbers.

Now, let's analyze the options:

a) 3*x - 2

We can rewrite this as:

3*x¹ - 2*x⁰

Then this is a polynomial.

b) p² + 1/p    (in this case the variable is p)

the second term can be written as:

1/p = p⁻¹

Then we have a term with a negative power of p, this means that this is not a polynomial.

c) 3*y² - 2*y/3 + 1

Same as in the first case, we can rewrite this as:

3*y² - (2/3)*y¹ + 1*y⁰

This is a polynomial.

Find the average rate of change
f(x)=x^2−6x+8 when x2=1 and x1=3

Answers

Answer:

Average rate of change for given function is: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is:

[tex]f(x)=x^2-6x+8\\x_12= 1\\x_1 = 3[/tex]

In order to find the rate of change, we have to find the value of function on x1 and x2

So,

[tex]f(x_1) = (3)^2-6(3)+8 = 9-18+8 = -1\\f(x_2) = (1)^2-6(1)+8 = 1-6+8 = 3[/tex]

The formula for finding the rate of change is:

[tex]Rate\ of\ change = \frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Putting the values, we get

[tex]=\frac{3-(-1)}{1-3}\\=\frac{3+1}{-2}\\=\frac{4}{-2}\\= -2[/tex]

Hence,

Average rate of change for given function is: -2

Answer:

What is the domain and range?


Answers

Answer:

The domain D = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

The range R = {3, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ordered pairs or points on the graph

{(0, 4), (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 3), (5, 3)}

We know that the domain of the function is the set of input or arguments for which the function is real and defined.

In other words,

Domain refers to all the possible sets of input values on the x-axis.

It means the set of all the x-coordinates of the given points or ordered pairs on a graph will be the domain.

Thus,

The domain D = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Determining the range:

We also know that range is the set of values of the dependent variable for which a function is defined.

In other words,

Range refers to all the possible sets of output values on the y-axis.

It means the set of all the y-coordinates of the given points or ordered pairs on a graph will be the range.

Thus,

The range R = {3, 4}

Note: Please note that the duplicated elements in the range are written only once.

What is the solution to the equation 4 ( b − 2 ) − 10 = 2b + 6 ?

Answers

Answer: 12

Step by step explanation:
First simplify both sides of the equation
( 4 )( b ) + ( 4 ) ( - 2 ) + -10 = 2b + 6 (distribute)
4b + -8 + -10 = 2b + 6
(4b) + (-8 + -10 ) = 2b + 6 (combine like terms)
4b + -18 = 2b + 6
4b - 18 = 2b + 6
Then subtract 2b from both sides
4b - 18 - 2b = 2b + 6 - 2b
2b - 18 = 6
After that you add 18 to both sides
2b - 18 + 18 = 6 + 18
2b = 24
2b/2 = 24/2
b = 12
