An automobile traveling at the rate of 30 ft/sec is approaching an intersection. When the automobile is 120 feet from the inters

ection, a truck traveling at the rate of 40 ft/sec crosses the intersection. The automobile and the truck are on roads that are at right angles to one another. How fast are the automobile and the truck separating 2 seconds after the truck leaves the intersection?

Answer:

Distance between automobile and the truck is 100 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the automobile towards the intersection = 30 ft per sec

Speed of the truck that crosses the intersection = 40 ft per sec.

Automobile is 120 feet apart when the truck passes through the intersection.

After 2 seconds distance traveled by the automobile = Speed × time

= 30 × 2

= 60 feet

So the distance of the automobile from the intersection = 120 - 60

= 60 feet

Distance traveled by truck in 2 seconds = 40 × 2

= 80 feet

Now distance between them can be calculated by Pythagoras theorem

Distance = $\sqrt{(60)^{2}+(80)^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{3600+6400}$

= $\sqrt{10000}$

= 100 feet

Therefore, after 2 seconds distance between the truck and the automobile will be 100 feet.

Answer correct you get brainliest answer

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$y = {x}^{2} - 2$

Or if you want with the value of h too.

$y = {(x - 0)}^{2} - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k$

Find the value of h and k by using the formula.

$h = - \frac{b}{2a} \\ k = \frac{4ac - {b}^{2} }{4a}$

From y = x²-2

$a = 1 \\ b = 0 \\ c = - 2$

Substitute these values in the formula.

$h = - \frac{0}{2(1)} \\ h = 0$

Therefore, h = 0.

$k = \frac{4(1)( - 2) - {0}^{2} }{4(1)} \\ k = \frac{ - 8}{4} \\ k = - 2$

Therefore, k = - 2.

From the vertex form, the vertex is at (h, k) = (0,-2). Substitute h = 0, a = 1 and k = -2 in the equation.

$y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k \\ y = 1 {(x - 0)}^{2} - 2 \\ y = {(x)}^{2} - 2 \\ y = {x}^{2} - 2$

These type of equation where b = 0 can also be both standard and vertex form.

1/8 (3d-2) = 1/4 (d+5)

tatiyna

OK, so for this equation, your goal is to get the d, and ONLY the d, on one side of the equation. So, to start out, you need to multiply the entire equation, meaning both sides, by 8 because we are trying to get rid of those pesky fractions.
8(1/8(3d-2)=1/4(d+5))
The equation then turns into this because the 8 and 4 cancelled out with the 8.
1(3d-2)=2(d+5)
Now, we need to distribute the left over numbers into the parenthesis.
3d-2=2d+10
And finally, we need to get the d's on one side, and the numbers on the other, so we subtract 2d from both sides and add the 2 to both sides. They then cancel out to make
d=12
Hope it helps! :)

A field is to be fertilized at a cost of $0.08 per square yard. the rectangular part of the field is 95 yd long and the diameter

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Assuming that this field is rectangular with 2 semi-circles (one on both ends of the field), we must first calculate the total area of the field. this is done by adding the area of the rectangular portion and the circular portion. This is done below:

Given:

Rectangular length = 95 yards
Rectangular width = semi-circle diameter = 49 yards

Area of rectangle = length * width = 95 * 49
Area of rectangle = 4655 yd^2

The area of the 2 semi-circles can be obtained by treating both as one circle.
Area of circle = pi * (d/2)^2 = 3.1416 * (49/2)^2
Area of circle = 1885.74 yd^2

Total area = 1885.74 + 4655 = 6540.74

We multiply the area by the cost of fertilizing:
Total cost = cost per sq. yd * total area
Total cost = 0.08 * 6540.74
Total cost = $523.26
