Two trains leave a station at the same time. One train is heading south at a rate that is 1.5 times faster than the other train, which is heading north. After 5 hours, the trains are 750 miles apart.

1) At what speed, in mph, are the two trains getting farther away from each other?
2) What is the speed, in mph, of the faster train?
3) Suppose the trains simultaneously leave stations that are 450 miles apart and travel toward each other. In how many hours will the trains meet?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 150 mph

2) 90 mph

3) 3 mph

Explanation:

1) The trains move at a constant speed, and after 5 hours they are 750 miles apart. 750/5=150

2) The faster train is 1.5 faster than the slower train, and we know their combined speed is 150 mph. 150/5=30, and 30x3=90.

3) We know that both trains combined travel 150 mph. 450/150=3.

Answer 2

Based on the data given, the speeds and time taken are as follows:

The combined speed of the two trains is 150 mphThe speed of faster train 150 x 3/5 = 90 mphThe time taken by the trains to cover 450 miles = 3 hours

What is speed?

Speed is the ratio of distance covered and time taken.

Speed = distance/time

1)The distance covered by the two trains in 5 hours = 750 miles.

The trains move at a constant speed and their combined speed will be:

Combined speed = 750/5

Combined speed = 150 mph

2) The train heading south has a speed 1.5 times faster than the other train heading north.

Ratio of speeds = 3 : 2

Speed of faster train 150 x 3/5 = 90 mph

3) The combined speed of the trains = 150 mph

Distance to be covered = 450 miles

Time taken = 450/150

Time taken = 3 hours

In conclusion, the speed of the two trains are determined from the distance travelled and time taken.

Instructions: Determine if AB is tangent to the circle.
AB
20
B
12
수 to the circle.
16

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

to be a tangent, it would have to have a 90° angle with the radius (12).

and that would make the triangle ABCenter of the circle a right-angled triangle.

and then Pythagoras must apply :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the baseline opposite of the 90° angle). in our case the 20-line.

so,

20² = 12² + 16²

400 = 144 + 256 = 400

yes, it is confirmed, because the Pythagoras principle applies, it is a right-angled triangle, and therefore AB is indeed a tangent.

Answer:

the line AB is tangent to the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

we have :

16² + 12² = 256 +144 = 400

On the other hand:

20² = 400

Then

16² + 12² = 20²

Then

According to the Pythagorean theorem:

The line AB is perpendicular to the radius of the circle

Which means the line AB is tangent to the circle.

A pet store has 11 ​puppies, including 4 ​poodles, 5 ​terriers, and 2 retrievers. If Rebecka and​ Aaron, in that​ order, each select one puppy at random with replacement​ (they may both select the same​ one), find the probability that Rebecka selects a terrier and Aaron selects a retriever.

Answers

The probability that Rebecka selects a terrier and Aaron selects a retriever is 10/121

How to determine the probability?

The distribution of the puppies is given as:

4 ​poodles, 5 ​terriers, and 2 retrievers

The probability of selecting a terrier is;

P(terrier) = 5/11

The probability of selecting a retriever is;

P(retriever) = 2/11

The required probability is

P = 5/11 * 2/11

Evaluate

P = 10/121

Hence, the probability that Rebecka selects a terrier and Aaron selects a retriever is 10/121

6≤x<∞

Answers

Answer:

If the x-6 is all under the sqrt, the last answer is right:

6<= x <= infinity

If only x is under the sqrt and - 6 is NOT under the sqrt, then:

0 <= x <= infinity is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can look at the equation and or graph to determine the domain of a function. The domain is all the x's that may go into the equation or all the x's on the graph of the function. Inside of a squareroot symbol the number inside there must be positive. While considering the equation, only x's that keep that inside positive can be used.

For sqrt(x-6), x has to be 6 or bigger.

For sqrt(x) - 6, x has to be 0 or bigger.

A. 180

Answers

The measure of the interior angle at vertex C is D. 144.

How to calculate the angle?

Based on the information given, the angle will be calculated thus:

8x + 8x + 8x + 3x + 3x = (5 - 2) × 180

30x = 540

Divide both side by 30

30x/30 = 540/30

x = 18

Therefore, at vertex C, we have 8x. This will be:

The frame size of Mohammed's bike is 52 cm.
Calculate the frame size of Fatima's bike.

Answers

Answer:

156 : 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Since

169 : 52 = 156 : X

Then we know

52/169 = X/156

Multiplying both sides by 156 cancels on the right

156 × (52/169) = (X/156) × 156

156 × (52/169) = X

Then solving for X

X = 156 × (52/169)

X = 48

Therefore

neither parallel nor perpendicular

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

to determine the relationship between these two lines you have to find the slope.

=> if they have the same slope ,then they are parallel.

=> if they have negative inverse slope relative to each other ,then they are perpendicular.

=> if the slope for both equations is neither of the above cases ,then the two equations are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

so if we divide the first equation by 3 which is the commen factor for the whole equation and arrange it in the form y=mx +b it would give us y =5x +4. and since the two have the same slope which is 5 ,then we can conclude they are parallel lines.

Answers

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that 49.85% of buyers paid between $150,000 and $154,800.

What does the Empirical Rule state?

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Considering the given mean and standard deviation, the interval between $150,000 and $154,800 corresponds to the interval between the mean and 3 standard deviations above the mean.

The normal distribution is symmetric(50% above the mean, 50% below), hence the percentage corresponding to this interval is:

Answer:

We are 90% confident that the true mean lies between 8..6563 and     9.9437

The mean of your estimate plus and minus the range of that estimate constitutes a confidence interval. Within a specific level of confidence, this is the range of values you anticipate your estimate to fall within if you repeat the test. Confidence is another word for probability.

mean (x) = 9.3                        

standard deviation (s) = 2                        

sample size (n) = 28                        

T- Distribution:

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27    

90% Confidence Interval ==> α = 0.1

critical value, t =  1.703 ( t-table)

standard error, SE = s/√n = 2 /√28 = 0.3780

margin of error, E = t × SE= 1.703 × 0.3780 = 0.6437

Confidence Interval: x ± E = 9.3 ± 0.6437

lower limit: x - E = 9.3 - 0.6437 = 8.6563    

upper limit: x + E = 9.3 + 0.6437 = 9.9437    

Confidence Interval: 8.6563 < µ < 9.9437

Z - Distribution:

Formula: Confidence Interval = x ± z (s/√n)

Sample Mean = s/√n = 2/√28 = 2/5.29 = 0.3781

z = 1.645 (from z - table)

From formula, z (s/√n): 0.3781 x 1.645 = 0.620 (rounded)

The sum of two numbers is 21. Three times the larger is equal to four times the smaller.
Find them.

Answers

Answer x = 12 and y = 9
Step by step
First identify the equations
The sum of two numbers is 21
x + y = 21
Change to y intercept for ease of math
y = 21 - x ( call this equation a)
Three times the larger is equal to four times the smaller
3x = 4y (call this equation b)
Now substitute the value of y = 21 -x into equation b
3x = 4(21-x)
Distribute
3x = 84 - 4x
Now we want to isolate x by adding 4x to each side
3x + 4x = 84 -4x + 4x
Combine like terms
7x = 84
Now solve for x by dividing both sides by 7
x = 12

Now to find y
Using equation a from above
y = 21 - x
Substitute our x value of 12 into equation
y = 21 - 12
solve for y
y = 9
Now check your work
x = 12 and y = 9
The sum of two numbers is 21
12 + 9 = 21
