<u>Answer:</u>
An equation that relates the speeds of the two legs of the trip
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given, we have to use x to represent the speed on the second leg
Speed on first leg when increasing your speed by 40 mph will be (x-40)
Distance is given as 640 miles and time is calculated as
According to the question, increasing speed saved four hours
Therefore, the equation that relates the speeds of the two legs of the trip will be
Answer:
The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is 25 millions
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
m(x) -----> the number of mosquitoes in Minneapolis, Minnesota (in millions of mosquitoes)
x ----> the rainfall in centimeters
we have
This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open downward
The vertex is the maximum
we know that
The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex
Find out the coordinate of the vertex
The general equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to
where
a is a coefficient
(h,k) is the vertex
so
In this problem
a=-1 (open downward)
(h,k)=(5,25)
The y-coordinate is 25
therefore
The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is 25 millions
