They will collide in 10 seconds. The combined speed at which they approach one another is 59 + 41 = 100 km per second. Using the formula for velocity, which is distance over time, we can rearrange the formula to time = distance / velocity. Thus, time = 1000 / 100 = 10 seconds.

Answer:

Domain = [0, 50]

Range   = [0, 3250]

Step-by-step explanation:

A function illustrates the relationship between two variables (independent and dependent). The independent variable depends on nothing else, serving as the function's input, while the dependent variable relies on the independent variable, acting as the output.

The domain of a function includes all possible input variables (independent variable), and the range encompasses all potential output variables (dependent variables).

For the function C(p) = 65p, p represents the independent variable and C(p) constitutes the dependent variable.

As the hall accommodates a maximum of 50 individuals, the domain of this function is defined as [0, 50]

C(0) results in 65(0) = 0 and C(50) results in 65(50) = 3250

Thus, the range of this function is [0, 3250]

A mercury thermometer records a temperature of 8 degrees Fahrenheit at 10:00am.If the Temperature drops by 3 degrees Fahrenheit
Svet_ta [12734]

Given:

The temperature recorded at 10:00 am is 8 degrees Fahrenheit.

The temperature decreases by 3 degrees Fahrenheit each hour.

To find:

The temperature at 2:00 pm on the same day.

Solution:

Let y represent the temperature after x hours since 10:00 am.

The temperature at 10:00 am serves as the initial temperature.

Thus, the y-intercept of the linear equation is 8.

The temperature reduces by 3 degrees Fahrenheit every hour.

This indicates the slope of the linear equation is -3, with the negative sign indicating a decrease.

The slope-intercept form of a linear function is indicated by

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Inserting m=-3 and y=8 into the above equation gives us the required values.

y=-3x+8

From 10:00 am to 2:00 pm spans 4 hours; therefore, substitute x=4 into the above equation.

y=-3(4)+8

y=-12+8

y=-4

Consequently, the temperature at 2:00 pm is -4 degrees Fahrenheit.
