Travel_Word_Problems/627033: Nancy and mark commute to work, traveling in opposite directions. Nancy leaves the house at 9:00 A.M. and average 35 miles per hous. Mark leaves at 9:15 A.M. and averages 60 miles per hour. At what time will they be 175 miles apart?

First calculate the distance Nancy traveled during her 15 minute head start using Distance equals Rate times Time. In order to keep everything in consistent units, use 1/4 hour instead of 15 minutes in this calculation. (The alternative is to change the given speeds to miles per minute making all of the arithmetic much uglier than it already is)

Subtract the results of the above calculation from the given 175 miles. The difference is the number of miles that must be traversed at the SUM of their speeds. Calculate the time required for them to travel the difference distance at the sum speed (Time equals Distance divided by Rate). Add that amount of time to 9:15 AM.

If a rectangle with perimeter has a length that is units longer (or shorter if ) than times the width, ,

Then knowing that the Perimeter is given by:

,

make the substitution:



Then solve for







For your problem: , , and . Do the arithmetic.

Note:



Take the natural log of both sides (actually, any base will do as long as you use the same base on both sides of the equation)



Use to write:



Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of



terms on the left, constants on the right, just like any other single variable equation.



Factor out



Multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient on



The rest is just calculator work.

Set your function equal to zero and solve for . Discard the negative root since you don't care what happened BEFORE the apple started falling -- do you?

Since he is a student of the local area college store A offers a 10% discount on every dollar spent and store B offers a 20% discount on every dollar after the initial purchase of $50.The supplies that he is needing to purchase is a graphing computer program, scientific calculator, protractor, compass, ink pens, pencils, markers, and graphing paper.The retail total of the supplies are $187. Which store offers the greater savings for the student?This needs to be put into an algebraic form. I am stumped on the algebraic form.

At the place that gives him a 10% across the board discount, he is paying 90% of the total bill. At the other place he is paying $50 plus 80% of the total bill minus $50

Let represent the total cost of the required supplies. Then the first store is going to charge him



and the second store is going to charge him



For the given situation, plug in $187 for and then do the arithmetic. The smaller result is the better deal.

If A can do a job in x time periods, then A can do of the job in 1 time period. Likewise, if B can do the same job in y time periods, then B can do of the job in 1 time period.

So, working together, they can do

Therefore, they can do the whole job in:

Multiply both sides by and reverse the sense of the inequality because of multiplication by a negative number.

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/626996: In an expression, define variable for time rode in the elevator and use variable to write rule for depth below the surface.
The deep mine is 12,720 feet deep. An elevator takes miners up at the rate of 20 feet per second. Assume that the number of feet below the surface is a negative number.

2. In how many seconds will the miners be 6,000 feet below the surface?

Your problem doesn't specify the speed when the elevator is going down, and there is no reason to assume that the speed going up and the speed going down is the same, hence the following function is only valid for modeling the situation where the elevator is going up.

Presuming that a miner could enter or exit the elevator at intermediate points between the bottom of the shaft and the surface, a start depth, must be specified.

The distance traveled in seconds is feet since the elevator rises at 20 feet per second.

Taking into account that is a distance below ground and is therefore a negative number, we write:

The domain is the set of allowable inputs. First, the logarithm function is defined for strictly positive arguments. Hence, is restricted by which is to say

Further, the square root function is defined for non-negative arguments, so considering only the square root function, is restricted by . However, since the square root function is in the denominator of the rational function, the value zero for the square root function must also be excluded from the domain. Hence we must only include , which is to say .

Putting the two restrictive statements together we get:

Your picture is a little whack as compared to your description. If the measure of angle A is indeed 96 degrees, then A has to be the vertex angle of your isosceles triangle. That's because if one of the base angles measured 96 degrees, then the other base angle must also measure 96 degrees, and you cannot have two angles greater than or equal to 90 degrees in any triangle -- and that is because the sum of the measures of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees. So you see two 96 degree angles would mean that you have the sum of the interior angles at greater than 192 degrees -- impossible.

So, given that the vertex (or apex if you would rather) measures 96 degrees, subtract 96 from 180 and divide what you have left by 2 giving you the measure of your two base angles.
