<h2>Answer:</h2>

His average speed on the return drive is:

                             50 mph

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let d be the distance from home to the place of his job interview.

Let s be the average speed when he drive to his job interview.

Now, it is given that:

It took Gustavo 5 hours to drive to a job interview.

We know that distance is the product of speed and time.

i.e.

Distance=Speed\times Time

Hence, we have:

d=5s--------(1)

Also,

On the way home, he was able to increase his average speed by 20 mph and make the return drive in only 3 hours.

His average speed back home is: s+20

and his time is: 3 hours

Hence, we have:

d=3(s+20)\\\\i.e.\\\\d=3s+60----------(2)

From equation (1) and equation (2) we have:

5s=3s+60\\\\i.e.\\\\5s-3s=60\\\\2s=60\\\\s=\dfrac{60}{2}\\\\s=30\ mph

Hence, his average speed on the return drive is: s+20

                                                                              = 30+20

                                                                             = 50 mph

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

6 samples

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, = n

Standard deviation, = 6000

Margin of Error = 2000

Confidence interval, α = 95%

Zcritical at 95% = 1.96

n = (Zcritical * σ) / margin of error

n = (1.96 * 6000) /2000

n = 11760 / 2000

n = 5.88

n = 6 samples

Which function below is the inverse of f(x)= 3x+5/7
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Inverse
replace f(x) wih y
solve for x
replace x with f⁻¹(x) and y with x

so

f(x)=3x+5/7
replace
y=3x+5/7
solve for x
minnus 5/7 both sides
y-5/7=3x
divide both sides by 3
\frac{y- \frac{5}{7} }{3}=x
replace with f⁻¹(x)

f⁻¹(x)=\frac{y- \frac{5}{7} }{3}
