Car A starts in Sacramento at 11am. It travels along a 400 mile route to Los Angeles at 40 mph. Car B starts from Los Angeles at

noon and travels to Sacramento along the same route at 75 mph. The route goes past Fresno which is 150 miles along the route from Los Angeles. How far from Fresno are the cars when they meet?

Answer:

Distance from Fresno where both cars meet = 210 - 150 = 60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = distance travelled by A from Sacramento

y = distance travelled by B from Los Angeles

t = time after 12 noon that they meet

x = 50(t + 1)

y = 400 - x = 75(t) or x = 400 - 75t

so: 50(t + 1) = 400 - 75t

50t + 50 = 400 - 75t

50t + 75t = 400 - 50

t = 2,8 hrs

so y = 400 - 75(2.8) = 210 miles from Los Angeles

distance from Fresno where both cars meet = 210 - 150 = 60 miles

Your utility company charges 13 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity. What is the daily cost of keeping lit a 75 watt light bu

Tresset [83]

we know that

$1 Kw=1000 w$

The company charges $13$ cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity

$13 cents=0.13 dollars\\\\ 75w=\frac{75}{1000} kw\\\\ 15w=\frac{15}{1000} kw$

Step $1$

Find the cost for the light bulb

a) in one day

$\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*0.9$

Cost=$ $0.117$

b) In a year

$\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\ hour$

$0.9*365=328.5\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*328.5$

Cost=$ $42.71$

Step $2$

Find the cost for the led bulb

a) in one day

$\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*0.18$

Cost=$ $0.0234$

b) In a year

$\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\ hour$

$0.18*365=65.7\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*65.7$

Cost=$ $8.54$

Step $3$

Find the difference in cost

$Save=42.71-8.54\\ Save=34.17 dollars$

therefore

the answer is

$34.17 dollars$

Mrs. Matthews wants to have $18,000 in the bank in 2 years. If she deposits $9000 today at 6% compounded quarterly for 2 years,

OverLord2011 [107]

Depends if you want
1. find how much he will earn, find the differnce between that and 18000
2. see how much to invest till he will get 18000

A= $P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

A=futre amount
P=present amout
r=rate in decimal
n=number of times per year ccompounded
t=time in years

1.
A=?
P=9000
r=0.06
n=4 (quarter means 4 times per year)
t=2
?= $9000(1+ \frac{0.06}{4})^{(4)(2)}$
?= $9000(1+ 0.015)^{8}$
?= $9000(1.015)^{8}$
?=10138.4 will be earned
18000-10138.4=7861.6 needed

2.
A=18000
P=9000+x
r=0.06
n=4 (quarter means 4 times per year)
t=2
18000= $(9000+x)(1+ \frac{0.06}{4})^{(4)(2)}$
18000= $(9000+x)(1+ 0.015)^{8}$
18000= $(9000+x)(1.015)^{8}$
divide both sides by 1.015^8
15978.8=9000+x
minus 9000 both sides
6978.8 needed

if he willnot be investing any more, he needs $7861.6 more
if he will invest more he will need to invest $6978.8 more

Two ropes, AD and BD, are tied to a peg on the ground at point D. The other ends of the ropes are tied to points A and B on a fl

BigorU [14]

You have two 30-60-90 triangles, ADC and BDC.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse
1 : sqrt(3) : 2

Using triangle ADC, we can find length AC.
Using triangle BDC, we can find length BC.
Then AB = AC - BC

First, we find length AC.
Look at triangle ACD.
DC is the short leg opposite the 30-deg angle.
DC = 10sqrt(3)
AC = sqrt(3) * 10sqrt(3) = 3 * 10 = 30

Now, we find length BC.
Look at triangle BCD.
For triangle BCD, the long leg is DC and the short leg is BC.
BC = 10sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) = 10

AB = AC - BC = 30 - 10 = 20
