A car passes through a tollbooth at 8:00 A.M. and begins traveling east at an average speed of the same tollbooth an hour later and begins traveling east at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. a. Write an equation for each car that relates the number of hours x since 8:00 A.M. to the distance in miles y the car has traveled. Explain what the slope of each equation represents. b. Graph the system of equations on the coordinate plane. c. If neither car stops, at what time will the second car catch up to the first car? Explain how you determine your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

The distance traveled by both cars is an illustration of a linear function.

The equations of both cars are [tex]\mathbf{y=60x - 540}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{y=45x - 360}[/tex]Both cars meet at 12:00pm

Car A

Speed = 45 miles per hour

So, the coordinates of car A are:

[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) = (8,0) (9, 45) (10, 90) ....}[/tex]

Car B

Speed = 60 miles per hour

So, the coordinates of car B are:

[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) = (9, 0) (10, 60) (11, 120) ....}[/tex]

(a) The equation of both cars

Car A

This is calculated as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = mx+ b}[/tex]

Where m represents slope/speed.

So, m = 45

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{y = 45x + b}[/tex]

y = 0, when x = 8.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{0= 45\times 8 + b}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{0= 360 + b}[/tex]

Solve for b

[tex]\mathbf{b=- 360}[/tex]

So, the equation of car A is:

[tex]\mathbf{y=45x - 360}[/tex]

Car B

This is calculated as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = mx+ b}[/tex]

Where m represents slope/speed.

So, m = 60

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{y = 60x + b}[/tex]

y = 0, when x = 9.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{0= 60\times 9 + b}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{0= 540 + b}[/tex]

Solve for b

[tex]\mathbf{b=- 540}[/tex]

So, the equation of car B is:

[tex]\mathbf{y=60x - 540}[/tex]

(b) The graphs

See attachment

(c) The time which both cars meet

We have:

[tex]\mathbf{y=60x - 540}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{y=45x - 360}[/tex]

Equate both

[tex]\mathbf{60x - 540=45x - 360}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{60x - 45x = 540- 360}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{15x = 180}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 15

[tex]\mathbf{x = 12}[/tex]

This means that both cars meet at 12:00pm

Answer:

58 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

1. split them into 3 shapes

of course it is possible to count them all out, but the more efficient way would be to find the area of each shape and the add them all up.

2. find the area of rectangle a

so you can split one into a recantagle that separates itself from the 2 squares at the bottom

area formula: L x W

so the length of that rectangle is going to be 5, once you count the scares of that side. the width would be 10 when you count the top side of how wide it is.

5 × 10 = 50

3. find the area of the 2 squares

you don't need to find both, because one you find one, you find the other. so the length for the square would be 2 while the width is 2 as well.

2 × 2 = 4

so the area is 4, for each square.

50 + 4 + 4 = 58

An art gallery is increasing the asking price of its paintings by 60%. A painting now costs $400.00. How much was the painting before the increase??
$

Answers

Answer:

$250

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal here is to find the cost of the painting BEFORE the 60% increase.

To find the cost of the painting, we must take in the information we already have:

Increase percent: 60%

Original price: unknown

Price after increase: $400

$400 is the price of the painting AFTER the increase has been added. So this equals the cost of the painting before the increase, plus the total amount of the increase (which is 60% of the original price).

The total must be (100% + 60% = 160%) 160% of the original painting price.

To find the original price, we must divide the increased price by the new percentage (160%). But how do we get here?

Well, we have 160% and our (fraction) $400/1%. We will have to switch the 160% and the 1%, giving us..

1% $400/160%

We take 400/160, which is 2.5. But this is only 1% of the original price! We want 100%.

So now, we multiply the 2.5 by 100 to get our answer: $250.

What two numbers have a product of -57 and a sum of -16?

Answers

Answer:

-19 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-19 x 3 = -57

-19 + 3 = -16

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: To find the answer to "What two numbers have a product of 57 and a sum of 16?" we first state what we know. We are looking for x and y and we know that x • y = 57 and x + y = 16.

Before we keep going, it is important to know that x • y is the same as y • x and x + y is the same as y + x. The two variables are interchangeable. Which This means that when we create one equation to solve the problem, we will have two answers.

To solve the problem, we take x + y = 16 and solve it for y to get y = 16 - x. Then, we replace y in x • y = 57 with 16 - x to get this:

x • (16 - x) = 57

Like we said above, the x and y are interchangeable, therefore the x in the equation above could also be y. The bottom line is that when we solved the equation we got two answers which are the two numbers that have a product of 57 and a sum of 16. The numbers are:

5.35425

10.64575

That's it! The two numbers that have a product of 57 and a sum of 16 are 5.35425 and 10.64575 as proven below:

5.35425 • 10.64575 = 57

5.35425 + 10.64575 = 16

Answer:

Graf 2 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct graph that represents the linear relationship is Graph B with a positive slope.

The table shows a linear relationship between the number of months enrolled and the total cost paid for the membership.

To determine which graph represents this relationship, we need to check if the cost increases or decreases as the number of months enrolled increases. If the cost increases, it means the graph should have a positive slope. If the cost decreases, it means the graph should have a negative slope.

Let's look at the table:

Number of Months Enrolled                                   Total Cost

1                                                                               75

2                                                                               100

3                                                                                 125

As the number of months enrolled increases, the total cost increases. Therefore, the graph should have a positive slope. From the given options, the graph that correctly represents this linear relationship is Graph B, which has a positive slope.

Today Nia completed her sixth hour of training which represents her sixth hour of training, which represents 7.5% of the total number of hours in the training. How many hours will Nia spend in training in all?

Answers

The times spent in training is an illustration of proportions

The times spent in training is 80 hours

The given parameters are:

Time spent = 6 hours

Time spent as a percentage = 7.5%

Let the total time spent in training be x.

The scenario is represented by the following equation

Time spent = Time spent as a percentage  * Total Time

So, we have:

6 = 7.5% * x

Express percentage as decimal

6 = 0.075 * x

Divide both sides by 0.075

80 = x

Rewrite as:

x = 80

Hence, the times spent in training is 80 hours
