A tortoise and a hare are competing in a 2000-meter race. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 510-meter head start. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 8 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 6 meters per second. -Let t represent the number of seconds that have elapsed since the start gun was fired. 1) Write an expression in terms of t that represents the hare's distance from the starting line (in meters) 2) Write an expression in terms of t that represents the tortoise's distance from the starting line (in meters) 3) Write an expression in terms of t that represents the number of meters the tortoise is ahead of the hare.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 8t

2. 510 + 6t

3. 510 - 2t

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since the hare moves at a speed of 8 metres per second, the distance it moves from the starting line is d = speed × time = 8t

2. Since the rabbit moves at a speed of 6 metres per second, and gets a head start of 510 metres, the distance it moves from the starting line is d = 510 m + speed × time = 510 + 6t

3. The distance the tortoise is ahead of the hare is thus, distance moved by rabbit - distance moved by hare in time, t.

d' = 510 + 6t - 8t

= 510 - 2t

Jonas is planning out his route for an upcoming race. He uses negative numbers to represent points before the finish line and positive numbers to represent points after the finish line.




On Jonas's map, there is a bridge at -91 3/4 meters, and his wife is watching him at 14 1/2 meters.




What do 0 meters represent?

Answers

Answer:

The finish line

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because, since negative numbers are used to represent points before the finish line, and positive numbers are used to represent points after the finish line, the finish line can only be represented by the number zero. Since on Jonas' map, there is a bridge at -91 3/4 metres, therefore, the bridge is 91 3/4 metres before the finish line. And, since his wife is watching at 14 1/2 metres, since this number is positive, she is 14 1/2 metres after the finish line. So, the finish line itself, will be represented by 0 metres since this is indicated a change from negative to positive.

Given: <1 and <2 are supplementary, and <2 and <3 are supplementary. Prove: <1 is congruent to <3

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

If ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary, then m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° (1).

If ∠2 and ∠3 are supplementary, then m∠2 + m∠3 = 180° (2).

From (1) we have

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°           /subtract m∠1 from both sides

m∠2 = 180° - m∠1

substitute it to (2)

(180° - m∠1) + m∠3 = 180°

180° - m∠1 + m∠3 = 180°     /subtract 180° from both sides

- m∠1 + m∠3 = 0        /add m∠1 to both sides

m∠3 = m∠1 ⇒ m∠1 = m∠3 ⇒ ∠1 ≅ ∠3

Find all x-intercepts and y-intercepts of the graph of the function . f(x) = - x ^ 3 + x ^ 2 + 12x If there is more than one answer, separate them with commas. Click on "None" if applicable.

Answers

Answer:

The y-intercept is (0,0)

The x-intercepts are (-3,0), (0,0), and (4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

[tex]f(x)=-x^3+x^2+12x[/tex]

And we want to solve for the x- and y-intercepts.

Y)

To solve for the y-intercept, recall that the y-intercept is when the graph touches the y-axis. At that point, the x values is 0. Thus, to find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for x:

[tex]f(x)=-(0)^3+(0)^2+12(0)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]f(x)=0[/tex]

So, the y-intercept is (0,0)

X)

To solve for the x-intercept(s), set the function equal to 0 and solve for x:

[tex]0=-x^3+x^2+12x[/tex]

First, factor out a negative x:

[tex]0=-x(x^2-x-12)[/tex]

Factor within the parentheses:

[tex]0=-x(x-4)(x+3)[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]-x=0\text{ or } x-4=0\text{ or } x+3=0[/tex]

Divide by -1 on the first one. Add 4 on the second one. And subtract 3 on the right:

[tex]x=0\text{ or } x=4\text{ or } x=-3[/tex]

So, our x-intercepts are:

[tex](-3,0), (0,0), (4,0)[/tex]

The sum of three numbers is 49. The second number is five less than three times the third number. If the first number is twice the amount of the third number, what is the value of the second number?

Answers

Answer:

(x, y, z) → (18, 22, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of three numbers is 49

x + y + z = 49

second number is 5 less than three times the third number

y = 3z - 5

first number is twice amount of third number

x = 2z

set of equations

x + y + z = 49

y = 3z - 5

x = 2z

plug in 2nd and 3rd equation into first

(2z) + (3z - 5) + z = 49

combine like terms

2z + 3z - 5 + z = 49

6z - 5 = 49

add 5 to both sides

6z = 54

divide by 6

z = 9

plug z into 2nd and 3rd equations

y = 3(9) - 5

y = 27 - 5

y = 22

x = 2(9)

x = 18

check:

18 + 22 + 9 = 49

(x, y, z) → (18, 22, 9)
