Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed - one at .90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s.a.

) assuming that they start at the same point ant the same time, how much sooner does the faster arrive at a destination 780 m away?b.) how far would the students have to walk so that the faster student arrives 5.50 min before the slower student?

Answer:

a) The faster student arrives 7 minutes and 36 seconds earlier

b) They would need to walk 598.51 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Rearranged for time:

Time = Distance / Speed

First student:

Time = 780 m / 0.90 m/s = 866.66 seconds

Second student:

Time = 780 m / 1.90 m/s = 410.52 seconds

Difference = 866.66 - 410.52 = 456.14 seconds

Converting to minutes:

456.14 seconds / 60 = 7 minutes 36 seconds

Using Distance = Speed × Time

Given: Speed₁ × Time₁ = Speed₂ × Time₂

And that Time₁ = Time₂ + 5.50 minutes

5.50 minutes = 350 seconds

Substituting:

Time₂ = (Speed₁ × (Time₂ + 350)) / Speed₂

Time₂ = 0.9 × (Time₂ + 350) / 1.9

Time₂ = 0.4737 × (Time₂ + 350)

Time₂ = 0.4737 Time₂ + 165.79 seconds

Time₂ - 0.4737 Time₂ = 165.79 seconds

0.5263 Time₂ = 165.79 seconds

Time₂ = 165.79 / 0.5263 = 315.01 seconds

Distance = 1.9 × 315.01 = 598.51 meters

Classify the following polynomials. combine any like terms first

Response:

Monomial

Trinomial

Monomial

Trinomial

Binomial

Explanation in detail:

A monomial consists of one distinct term

A binomial consists of two distinct terms

A trinomial consists of three distinct terms

In the first example, the -x^2 and +x^2 cancel each other, and since 2x and 4x are similar terms, combining gives you 6x, which is a monomial.

In the second example, after adding +3 and -2, you get three distinct terms that can't be combined, thus it's a trinomial

In the third example, all variables cancel out, resulting in just one term, 3, making it a monomial

In the fourth one, after combining like terms, you end up with:

x^3 + 3x^2 + 7x

This makes it a trinomial

In the last example, the 6x and -6x cancel, leaving two terms, qualifying it as a binomial.

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction 3 x Superscript negative 6 Baseline y Superscript negative 3 Baseline Over 15 x
zzz [12042]

Answer:

The appropriate expression is 1 Over 5 x Superscript minus 8 Baseline y Superscript minus 13 Baseline EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to simplify the expression \frac{3x^{-6}y^{-3} }{15x^{2}y^{10} } where x ≠ 0, y ≠ 0, we must work through the given expression.

\frac{3x^{-6}y^{-3} }{15x^{2}y^{10} }\\= \frac{3}{15} x^{-6-2}y^{-3-10}\\ = \frac{3}{15}x^{-8}y^{-13} \\ =\frac{1}{5}x^{-8}y^{-13} \\

The appropriate expression is 1 Over 5 x Superscript minus 8 Baseline y Superscript minus 13 Baseline EndFraction

A glass bottle filled with oil weighs 590 grams. After Sophia uses 200 milliliters of oil, the bottle weighs 400 grams. The weig
PIT_PIT [12094]

Answer: The result is M=590-\dfrac{19}{20}V.


Step-by-step explanation: A glass bottle filled with oil has a weight of 590 grams. After Sophia takes away 200 milliliters of oil, the bottle's weight drops to 400 grams.

Consequently, the mass of the oil used by Sophia is calculated as = 590 - 400 = 190 grams.

This means that 190 grams corresponds to 200 milliliters, thus

1~\textup{ ml}=\dfrac{190}{200}~\textup{grams},\\\\\textup{V ml}=\dfrac{19}{20}\textup{V}~\textup{grams}.

The relationship between the mass 'M' of the oil bottle in grams and 'V', the volume of oil used by Sophia can be represented as

\textup{M}=590-\dfrac{19}{20}\textup{V}.
