Trains A and B, 200 km apart on the same straight track, travel at speeds of 50 km/hr and 65 km/hr respectively. At the end of 1 hour, the distance between the trains could not

Ok, at the beginning the distance between the trains is 200km:

IPa(0s) - P(0s)I = 200km.

where Pa is the position of train A, and Pb is the position of train B.

Now, the speed of train A is:

Sa = 50km/h

Sb = 65km/h

Now, remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*time.

So, in one hour, the displacement of train A is:

Distance = 50km/h*1h = 50km

The displacement of train B is:

distance  = 65km/h*1h = 65km.

Now, if at the beginning train A is 200km ahead of train B, then we have:

Pa - Pb = (Pa(0s) + 50km) - (Pb(0s) + 65km)

= (Pa(0s)  - Pb(0s)) + (50km - 65km) = 200km - 15km = 185km.

Now, if train B was 200km ahead of train A, we have:

Pb - Pa = (Pb(0s) + 65km) - (Pa(0s) - 50km) =

(Pb(0s) - Pa(0s)) + (65km - 50km) = 200km + 15km = 215km

step-by-step explanation:

quartic functions has x = –1 and x = –2 as its only two real zeroes:

f(x) = a(x+2)(x+1)   a: real number
