<span>A freight train completes its journey of 150 miles 1 hour earlier if its original speed is increased by 5 miles/hour. What is the train’s original speed?
***
let x=original speed
x+5=increased speed
travel time=distance/speed
..
lcd:x(x+5)
150(x+5)-150x=x(x+5)
150x+750-150x=x^2+5x
x^2+5x-750=0
(x-25)(x+30)=0
x=25
What is the train’s original speed? 25 mph</span>

Trapezoidal is involving averageing the heights
the 4 intervals are
[0,4] and [4,7.2] and [7.2,8.6] and [8.6,9]

the area of each trapezoid is (v(t1)+v(t2))/2 times width

for the first interval
the average between 0 and 0.4 is 0.2
the width is 4
4(0.2)=0.8

2nd
average between 0.4 and 1 is 0.7
width is 3.2
3.2 times 0.7=2.24

3rd
average betwen 1.0 and 1.5 is 1.25
width is 1.4
1.4 times 1.25=1.75

4th
average betwen 1.5 and 2 is 1.75
width is 0.4
0.4 times 1.74=0.7

add them all up
0.8+2.24+1.75+0.7=5.49

5.49
t=time
v(t)=speed
so the area under the curve is distance

borishaifa [10]

Answer: x+y\geq 1, x>\frac{1}{4} ,  x\geq 2y and y\geq 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,  x represents the number of hours Zoe spent running on her wheel and y represents the number of hours spent scratching her cage.

Julie was awoke for at least an hour running on her exercise wheel and scratching the of her cage.

⇒ x+y\geq 1

She ran on her wheel at least twice as long as she scratched at the corners of her cage.

⇒ x\geq 2y

Also, She spent more than 1/4 hour running on her wheel.

⇒ x>\frac{1}{4}

And, we know that number of hours can not be negative.

⇒  y\geq 0

Therefore, the complete system of inequality which shows the given situation is,

x+y\geq 1, x>\frac{1}{4} and x\geq 2y, y\geq 0

Note: the feasible region ( covered by the given system) is shown in the below graph.

An isosceles triangle used to rack billiard balls has a base of 11.25 inches. The sides of the triangle meet at a 56° angle. To
lara [203]

Answer:

The measure of each sides of isosceles triangle is 16.67 inches , 16.67 inches , 11.25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as for a Isosceles triangle :

The base of Triangle = 11.25 inches

The sides of triangle meets at 56°

Let the unknown side measure = x inches

From <u>The property of isosceles triangle</u>

The angle opposite to the same side are equal

I.e \Theta _1 =  \Theta _2 = 56°

So, The third angle = 180° - ( \Theta _1 +  \Theta _2 )

Or, The third angle = 180° - ( 56° + 56° )

∴   The third angle = 180° - 112° = 68°

Now, From isosceles triangle

Tan 56° = \frac{perpendicular}{base}

Or, Tan 56° = \frac{x}{11.25}

∴   x = 11.25 × Tan 56°

Or, x = 11.25 × 1.482 = 16.672 inches

Hence The measure of each sides of isosceles triangle is 16.67 inches , 16.67 inches , 11.25 inches   Answer
