South Central High Students' Council is traveling to Redding for the Students' Council National Conference. From the travel budg

et allowed for the trip, they have two options. They can leave by express train tonight, or they can save one hour by leaving tomorrow morning and flying which travels 40 km/h faster than the train. If the distance between South Central High and Redding is 480 km, determine how long it will take to travel by flying, rounded to the nearest hour.

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between South Central High and Redding = 480km

Distance= Average Speed X Time

Let the speed of the express train=x

Let the time taken BG the train=t

For the train:

480=xt...(1)

Since the plane flies 40km/hr faster

Speed of the Plane=x+40

They can save one hour using the plane, so Time taken by the plane

=(t-1)hours

For the plane:

Distance= Average Speed X Time

480=(x+40)(t-1)....(2)

Equate equations 1 and 2 since the distances are equal.

xt=(x+40)(t-1)

xt=xt-x+40t-40

x=40t-40

Substitute x=40t-40 into equation (1)

480=xt

480=(40t-40)t

40t²-40t-480=0

Dividing all through by 40

t²-t-12=0

t²-4t+3t-12=0

t(t-4)+3(t-4)=0

(t-4)(t+3)=0

t-4=0 or t+3=0

t= 4hours (Since t cannot be negative)

Since it will take (t-1) hours to fly, it takes 3 hours to fly to Redding.

Solve the equation -9x+1=-x+17​
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x+1=-x+17

Add 9x on both sides:

     1=8x+17

Subtract 17 on both sides:

   -16=8x

Divide both sides by 8:

     -2=x

Check x=-2!

-9x+1=-x+17     with x=-2

-9(-2)+1=-(-2)+17

18+1=2+17

19=19

19=19 is a true equation so x=-2 is correct.

In a recent year, a sample of grade 8 Washington State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean sc
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The  number is  N  =1147 students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population mean is  \mu  =  281

     The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  34.4

    The sample size is  n = 2000

percentage of the would you expect to have a score between 250 and 305 is mathematically represented as

      P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  P(\frac{ 250 - 281}{34.4 }  <  \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma }  < \frac{ 305 - 281}{34.4 }   )

Generally  

             \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma }  =  Z  (Standardized \ value \  of  \  X )

So  

         P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  P(-0.9012<  Z

       P(250 <  X <  305 ) = P(z_2 < 0.698 ) -  P(z_1 <  -0.9012)

From the z table  the value of  P( z_2 < 0.698) =  0.75741

                                         and  P(z_1 < -0.9012) =  0.18374

     P(250 <  X <  305 ) = 0.75741 - 0.18374

      P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  0.57

The  percentage is  P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  57\%

The  number of students that will get this score is

           N  = 2000 * 0.57

           N  =1147

The graph of f(x), shown below has the same shape as the graph has the same shape as the graph of g(x)=x^4-X^2 which contains th
Alenkasestr [34]
First of all it is always a good idea to graph a question like this one. Here are the three graphs 

y = x^4 - x^2                   Color: Red            This is the base graph
y = x^4 - x^2 -  4             Color Blue            This has - 4 added to it.
y = x^4 - x^2 + 4             Color Green          This has 4 added to the base graph

Which one is correct? The red and blue one are not. The graph you want is plotted  upward from the base graph. The base graph (red nothing added to it) is not right because it has points on the x axis. The graph you want does not.

The same is true of the blue graph. It cuts the x axis. That only leaves the green one.

Wittaler [7]
The first commision would be $60, on top of the $3000 to buy the shares. The second commision would be $45, with a $4500 sale point. So $4500 - $3105 = $1395 is the profit.
