Two cyclists, 30 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 2 times as fast as
the other. If they meet 2 hours later, what is the speed (in mi/h) of the faster cyclist?
a. Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem.
Use the variable r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist.
b. What is the speed of the faster cyclist?
mi/hr

Answers

Answer 1

The equation as r + 2 r = 30 miles / 2 hours and the speed of faster cyclist as 10 miles per hour.

We are given that:

The distance between the two cyclist = 30 miles.

Now let the speed of one cyclist be x miles / hour.

Speed of other cyclist = 2 x miles / hour.

Now, 2 hours later they meet.

Distance covered by 1st cyclist in 2 hours = 2 x

Distance covered by 2st cyclist in 2 hours = 4 x

Equation will be:

2 x + 4 x = 30 miles

6 x = 30 miles

x = 5 miles.

Equation for the cyclist in terms of r will be :

r + 2 r = 30 miles / 2 hours

Speed of faster cyclist = 10 miles per hour.

Therefore, we get the equation as r + 2 r = 30 miles / 2 hours and the speed of faster cyclist as 10 miles per hour.

For what values of x is x^3+18x^2+92x+120=0 a true statement.

Answers

For x = -2,-6, and -10 the value of the polynomial will be satisfied.

What are the roots of an equation?

Roots of an equation are the solution of that equation since an equation consists of hidden values of the variable to determine them by different processes and then the resultant is called roots.

Given the polynomial,

x³ + 18x² + 92x + 120 = 0

By hit trial method let's put x = -2

-8 + 72 - 184 + 120 = 0

-192 + 192 = 0

0 = 0

Now,divide x³ + 18x² + 92x + 120 = 0 by x + 2

(x + 2)(x²+ 16x + 60) = 0

(x + 2)(x + 6)(x + 10) = 0

x = -2,-6 and -10.

Hence "For x = -2,-6, and -10 the value of the polynomial will be satisfied".

If the graph of the parent function f(x) = x is 7 units up and stretched vertically by a factor of 3

Answers

The transformed function can be seen in the image below, and the rule is:

g(x)= x/3 + 7

How to get the transformed function?

Here we have the parent function, and we want to apply a translation of 7 units up and stretch it vertically by a scale factor of 3

First, we need to apply the translation, remember that a vertical translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

If we want the translation to be upwards, then we need to use a positive value of N, so in this case we wil have:

g(x) = f(x) + 7

And now we apply a stretch of scale factor 3, this means that we need to divide the variable inside of the function by 3, so we get:

g(x) = f(x/3) + 7

This will give:

g(x)= x/3 + 7

Where we use the fact that f(x) = x

The graph of this function can be seen below.

Bill school is selling tickets to a fall musical. On thefirst day of ticket sales to school sold one adult ticket and 6 children tickets for a total of $52. The school took in $66 on the second day by selling 1 adult ticket and 8 child tickets. Find the price of an adult ticket

Answers

The price of an adult ticket is x= $10

What is mathematical expression?

A mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Let the adult ticket be x

Let the children ticket be y

first day,

1*x + 6*y = 52

x + 6y = 52   equation 1

second day,

1*x + 8*y = 66

x + 8y = 66   equation 2

Solving both the equations

Subtracting equation 2 -equation 1, we get

x + 8y - x - 6y = 66 - 52

2y = 14

y = 7

putting the value of y in equation 1, we get

x + 6*7 = 52

x = 52 - 42

x = 10

Therefore, price of an adult ticket is x= $10

Slope, m = -1/2

Point, (x1, y1) = (-2, 3)

The linear equation is calculated as:

y = m(x - x1) + y1

Substitute the known values in the above equation

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

elimination, we want both equations to have the same form and like terms to be lined up.  We have that.  We also need one of the columns with variables to contain opposites or same terms. Neither one of our columns with the variables contain this.  We can do a multiplication to the second equation so that the first terms of each are either opposites or sames. It doesn't matter which.  I like opposites because you just add the equations together. So I'm going to multiply the second equation by -3.I will rewrite the system with that manipulation:9x-9y=0-9x+12y=-30----------------------Add them up!0+3y=-30     3y=-30       y=-10So now once you find a variable, plug into either equation to find the other one.I'm going to use 9x-9y=0 where y=-10.So we are going to solve for x now.9x-9y=0 where y=-10.9x-9(-10)=0  where I plugged in -10 for y.9x+90=0  where I simplified -9(-10) as +90.9x     =-90 where I subtracted 90 on both sides.x=       -10 where I divided both sides by 9.The solution is (x,y)=(-10,-10)

Find the lateral area of this square based pyramid. base is 10 ft. and slant is 10 ft.

Answers

The lateral area of the square pyramid that has a base of 10ft and height of 10 ft is calculated as: 200 ft²

How to Determine the Lateral Surface Area of a Square Pyramid?

A square pyramid is a solid that has a square base and four triangular lateral faces.

The lateral area of the square pyramid is therefore the total area of the four triangular lateral faces of the square pyramid.

Area of one triangular lateral face = 1/2(base)(height)

Lateral area of the square pyramid = Total area of the four triangular lateral faces = 4 × 1/2(base)(height) = 2(base)(height)

We know the following:

Base = 10 ft

Height = 10 ft

Time 't' = 30years

Rate of interest 'r'= 6%

Month =12

Let 'P' be the amount deposit in the account each month

[tex]A = \frac{(P(1+\frac{r}{m})^{mt}-1 )}{\frac{r}{m} }\\\\\implies 600,000 = \frac{(P(1+\frac{6}{12\times 100})^{12\times 30}-1 )}{\frac{6}{12\times 100} }\\\\\implies 600,000 \times \frac{1}{200}= P (\frac{12.06}{12})^{360}-1 \\\\\implies 3000 +1 = P(1.005)^{360} \\\\\implies P = \frac{3001}{6.02258} \\\\\implies P = \$498.29[/tex]
