----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the duration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time : 9:00am to 10:15am 
Duration: 1hour 15 mins or 1.25hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find difference in distance travelled between the two cyclists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difference in speed = 6km/h
1 hour = 6 km
1.25 hours = 7.5km

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the distance the cyclist traveled
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42.5 - 7.5 = 35km
35km ÷ 2 = 17.5km

The slower cyclist traveled 17.5 km in the 1.25 hours

17.5 + 7.5 = 25 km

The faster cyclist traveled 25km in the 1.25 hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the slower cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 17.5 km
1 hour = 17.25 ÷ 1.25
1 hour = 14km

The cyclist was traveling at 14km/h

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the faster cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 25km
1 hour = 25 ÷ 1.25
1hour = 20 km

The cyclist was traveling at 20km/hour

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The speed were 14km/h and 20 km/h

What is the equation of the parabola?
irina1246 [14]

Because the parabola opens down and the vertex is at (0, 5), we conclude that the correct option is:

y  = -(1/8)*x² + 5.

<h3>Which is the equation of the parabola?</h3>

The relevant information is that we have the vertex at (0, 5), and that the parabola opens downwards.

Remember that the parabola only opens downwards if the leading coefficient is negative. Then we can discard the two middle options.

Now, because the parabola has the point (0, 5), we know that when we evaluate the parabola in x = 0, we should get y = 5.

Then the constant term must be 5.

So the correct option is the first one:

y  = -(1/8)*x² + 5.
