It takes 40 min for a bus to travel the 36 miles from Framingham to Worcester. A car traveling from Worcester to Framingham move

s 1.5 times as fast as the bus. If the car and the bus start moving towards each other simultaneously, after how many minutes will they meet?

The velocity of the bus is:

velocity (bus) = 36 miles / 40 min

velocity (bus) = 0.9 miles / min

 

Since the car is 1.5 times faster, so the velocity of the car is:

velocity (car) = 1.5 * 0.9 miles / min

velocity (car) = 1.35 miles / min

 

At the meeting point, the sum of the distance is equal to 36 miles. Therefore:

1.35 t + 0.9 t = 36

2.25 t = 36

t = 16 min

 

So they will meet after 16 minutes.

How is the graph of y = negative RootIndex 3 StartRoot x minus 4 EndRoot transformed to produce the graph of y = negative RootIn
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Multiply by ∛2 and translate the graph to left by 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial function given is:

y = -∛(x - 4)

The transformed function is:

y = -∛(2x - 4)

Consider the initial function.

y = -∛(x - 4)

(Represented by Black line in the graph)

Multiply the function by ∛2. The function becomes:

y = -∛(x - 4) × ∛2

y = -∛(2)(x-4)

y = -∛(2x-8)

(Represented by Red line in the graph represents this function)

Translate the graph 4 units to the left by adding 4 to the x component:

y = -∛(2x-8+4)

y= -∛(2x - 4)

(Represented by Blue line in the graph)

6. Two observers, 7220 feet apart, observe a balloonist flying overhead between them. Their measures of the
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

h the height of the ballonist above the ground,

a the distance between the two observers,

a_1 the horizontal distance between the first observer and the ballonist

a_2 the horizontal distance between the second observer and the ballonist

\alpha _1 and \alpha _2 the angles of elevation meassured by each observer

S the area of the triangle formed with the observers and the ballonist

So, the area of a triangle is the length of its base times its height.

S=a*h (equation 1)

but we can divide the triangle in two right triangles using the height line. So the total area will be equal to the addition of each individual area.

S=S_1+S_2 (equation 2)

S_1=a_1*h

But we can write S_1 in terms of \alpha _1, like this:

\tan(\alpha _1)=\frac{h}{a_1} \\a_1=\frac{h}{\tan(\alpha _1)} \\S_1=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}

And for S_2 will be the same:

S_2=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}

Replacing in the equation 2:

S=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}\\S=h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})

And replacing in the equation 1:

h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})=a*h\\h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}

So, we can replace all the known data in the last equation:

h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}\\h=\frac{7220 ft}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(35.6)}+\frac{1}{\tan(58.2)})}\\h=3579,91 ft

Then, the ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

then, click stat

Click arrow 1 time to the left to get to Calc

then click (4)(LinReg(ax+b))

then click enter 5 times

(y=-25.31428571x+1000.285714

y=-25.3x+1000.3

now, lets use computer:

y=-25.31(543)+1000.3

y=-12743.03

round to the biggest whole number )

this doesn't really work, so I will put 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 instead of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and do the same thing

now I get

y=-25.31428571x+51603.54286

y=-25.3x+51603.5

now, lets use computer:

y=-25.3(543)+51603.5

y=37865.6

round to the biggest whole number:

y=37866

so, year 37866
