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.

What property describes the number sentence 6+0 = 6
zmey [24]
That is the Identity Property of Addition.
If it is adding and the whole number stays the same it is Identity Property of Addition.
If it is multiplying then it would be the Identity Property of Multipulcation. For example for this problem it would be 6x1 in multipulcation in which the whole number would stay the same.
Here are descriptions of all the properties:

Identify the relative maximum value of g(x) for the function shown below g(x)=7/x^2+5
Liula [17]
To find t<span>he relative maximum value of the function we need to find where the function has its first derivative equal to 0.

Its first derivative is -7*(2x)/(x^2+5)^2
</span>7*(2x)/(x^2+5)^2 =0 the numerator needs to be eqaul to 0
2x=0
x=0

g(0) = 7/5

The <span>relative maximum value is at the point (0, 7/5).</span>

Which of the equations below could be the equation of this parabola?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Parabola that is opening upward has the form  y=ax^2
  • Parabola opening downward has the form  y=-ax^2
  • Parabola opening leftward has the form  x=-ay^2
  • Parabola opening rightward has the form  x=ay^2

Where a is a constant

Now, looking at the graph given, it takes the form  x=-ay^2

Where a is 3 (matching the answer).

Hence, B is the correct answer choice.

Answer:

i feel as if in the United States, both the metric system and the English system of measurement are used, although the English system predominates. This discussion question has three parts:

Look around you to find something in the U.S. that is measured in metrics. Describe it to the class.

Give an example of how you think the metric system will be used in your future career.

Do you think the U.S. should switch to metric system exclusively? Why or why not?

This week we learned about the metric and U.S. customary measurement systems. Please upload and submit your responses to the following questions in at least 150 words:

In reflecting on both measurement systems, what did you find most important?
