Two runners start from the same point at the same time. They will be 4 miles apart at the end of two hours if running in the same direction, and they will be 16 miles apart at the end of one hour if running in opposite directions. Find their speeds.

runner 1 runs with 9 miles / hour

runner 2 runs with 7 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

x = speed of runner 1

y = speed of runner 2

2 hours × (x miles / hour) - 2 hours × (y miles / hour) = 4 miles

2x - 2y = 4

x - y = 2

x = y + 2

1 hour × (x miles / hour) + 1 hour × (y miles / hour) = 16

x + y = 16

y + 2 + y = 16

2y + 2 = 16

2y = 14

y = 7 miles / hour

x = y + 2 = 9 miles / hour

find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the function f x = 5 x − 1 . to find the vertical asymptote, equate the denominator to zero and solve for . since the degree of the polynomial in the numerator is less than that of the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is .

step-by-step explanation:

large crystals result from very slow cooling.

evaporation of water: this would produce an evaporite which is a sedimentary rock. like a salt pan in a desert. not possible to have volcanic rocks originate this way.

crystalization in molten earth: slow cooling over time. (hundreds to millions of years)

crystalization at earth's surface: this results in fast cooling. (a few hours to a few months or years)

crystalization from cooling off hot water: that would be a hydrothermal deposit. while associated with volcanics they are not volcanic rocks themselves and usually occur fairly rapidly.
