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).

She could travel

Answers

Answer:

17.85 answer

Step-by-step explanation:

u add the following and the ans u get u take it away from 25

The inequality representing the given statement is 25 ≥ 7.5 + 0.35 x and Aliana can travel a total of 50 miles.

What is inequality?

An inequality is a relation that compares two numbers or other mathematical expressions in an unequal way. It is most frequently used to compare the sizes of two numbers on the number line.

Given:

A taxi charges a flat rate of $7.50 plus an additional $0.35 per mile,

Aliana has at most $25 to spend on the cab ride,

Write the equation as shown below,

The total charges of the taxi = flat rate + rate per mile × number of mile

The total charges of the taxi = 7.5 + x × 0.35

Here, x is the number of miles

The total charge should be equal to $25 or less than $25 then,

25 ≥ 7.5 + 0.35x

Solve for x

0.35x = 25 - 7.5

x = 17.5 / 0.35

x = 50 miles

Thus, she can travel a total of 50 miles.

Which of the following lines are perpendicular to the line y= -1/2x +4 ? (you may choose more than one answer)

A. 2x - y = 1
B. y = 2x
C. 2x + y = 1
D. 1/2x - y =2
E. 2x - y = 3​

Answers

Answer:

ABE

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular means the slope of the line and the answer are reciprocal to each other.

The slope of the line is -1/2, which means the slope of the answer should be 2.

From A we got: y=2x-1

B:y=2x

C:y=-2x+1

D:y=-1/2x-2

E:y=2x-3

So the answer is ABE

Answers

Answer:

42°

Step-by-step explanation:

8 is the opposite

12 is the hypotenuse

We know from SOHCAHTOA to use sine

Since we are looking for the angle, we use sin^-1

sin^-1(opposite/hypotenuse)=x

sin^-1(8/12)=x

Input into calculator

x=42°

Step-by-step explanation:

we use the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

where the the side and related angle are always opposite to each other.

so,

12/sin(90) = 8/sin(x)

12/1 = 8/sin(x)

12 = 8/sin(x)

3 = 2/sin(x)

sin(x) = 2/3

x = 41.8103149...° ≈ 41.8°

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We know that all angle measures in a triangle sum to 180 degrees.

This means that 7x - 11 + 5x - 2 + 2x - 3 = 180.

2. (Solving)

Step 1: Combine like terms.

[tex](7x+5x+2x)+(-11-2-3)=180[/tex] [tex]14x -16 = 180[/tex]

Step 2: Add 16 to both sides.

[tex]14x - 16 + 16 = 180 + 16[/tex] [tex]14x = 196[/tex]

Step 3: Divide both sides by 14.

[tex]\frac{14x}{14}=\frac{196}{14}[/tex] [tex]x = 14[/tex]

Step 2: Check if solution is correct.

[tex]7(14)-11+5(14)-2+2(14)-3=180[/tex] [tex]98-11+70-2+28-3=180[/tex] [tex]180=180[/tex]
