According to the Tristate Transportation Authority, making certain improvements to the main commuter rail line would increase ridership dramatically. The authority plans to finance these improvements over the course of five years by raising automobile tolls on the two high-way bridges along the route the rail line serves. Although the proposed improvements are indeed needed, the authority’s plan for securing the necessary funds should be rejected because it would unfairly force drivers to absorb the entire cost of something from which they receive no benefit.Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the effectiveness of the authority’s plan to finance the proposed improvements by increasing bridge tolls?

(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised.

(B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.

(C) Between the time a proposed toll increase is announced and the time the increase is actually put into effect, many commuters buy more tokens than usual to postpone the effects of the increase.

(D) When tolls were last increased on the two bridges in question, almost 20 percent of the regular commuter traffic switched to a slightly longer alternative route that has since been improved.

(E) The chairman of the authority is a member of the Tristate Automobile Club that has registered strong opposition to the proposed toll increase.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Options A and B are true

(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised.

B. (B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. In a developed society, it's imperative for the authority to hold public hearings with stake holders to air their views before the tolls are increased, this would enable the authority to carry out proper assessment to know both the positive and negative impact of increasing the toll.

B. Increasing the tolls implies that there must be adjustment in the automated tolling machines and this would incur cost on the authority, this contract would be executed by private contractors.

b. 43.218 m/s
c. 43.22 m/s
d. 43.2 m/s

Answers

I think you are asking for the quotient of the numbers because base from the choices the units are meters per second and the given has units of meters and seconds. So, the quotient of the numbers is 43.218 meters per second which is option B.

Solve the equation for the given variable k/3-11=-20

Answers

$(k)/(3-11)$ = - 20

You can subtract the numbers in the parenthesis:
(3-11) = (-8)

Multiply the denominator to both sides so it cancels out and isolates the variable $(k)/(-8)$ × -8 = - 20 × -8
-8 and -8 cancels out

k = 160

Quick check:
$(160)/((3-11))$ = -20
$(160)/(-8)$ = - 20
- 20 = - 20
Yes its right

the answer is: k =160

Two bicyclists leave the center of town at the same time. One heads due north and the other heads due west. Later, the two cyclists are exactly 25 mi apart. The cyclist headed north has traveled 5 mi farther than the cyclist going west.How far has the cyclist going west traveled?

Answers

Answer:

Distance traveled by bicyclist traveling west = 15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

These two cyclists travel at angle 90°

Relative displacement can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

Let d be the distance traveled by bicyclist traveling west

Distance traveled by bicyclist traveling north = d + 5

$25^2=d^2+(d+5)^2\n\nd^2+d^2+10d+25=625\n\n2d^2+5d-600=0\n\nd^2+5d-300=0\n\nd=(-5\pm √(5^2-4* 1* (-300)))/(2* 1)\n\nd=(-5\pm √(25+1200))/(2)\n\nd=(-5\pm √(1225))/(2)\n\nd=(-5\pm 35)/(2)\n\nd=15miles\texttt{ or }d=-20miles$

Negative displacement is not possible.

Hence d = 15 miles

Distance traveled by bicyclist traveling west = d = 15 miles

This situation is represented in annex.
From Pythagorean theorem you've got equation:
$x^2+(x+5)^2=25 \n \n \hbox{From formula} \ \ \ (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2: \n \n x^2+x^2+10x+25=25 \n 2x^2+10x=0 \n \n \hbox{Factor out} \ \ 2x: \n 2x(x+5)=0 \n \n \hbox{So you've got:} \n \n x_1=0 \n x_2=-5$

There isn't any solutions where x>0, so this situation is IMPOSSIBLE.
