a car travels at a speed of 80 km/h for 2½ hours from town P to town Q. Then the car increases its speed by 25% and maintains th

at speed for a further 150 km from town Q to town R. Calculate the average speed for the whole journey.

So this is not too hard, as with any math problem we write what we know.

Starting speed: 80km/h
Time from P to Q: 2.5h
Increase in speed: 20km/h (25% is dividing by 4)
Distance from Q to R: 150 kilometers

So let's find the speed and distance for both legs of the trip.

Speed for P to Q: 80km/h
Distance from PtoQ: 200km (2.5h * 80km/h)
Speed from Q to R: 100km/h (80 +20)
Distance from QtoR: 150km.

Now we multiply the speeds by their respective distances add them and then divide by the total distance.

((80 *200) + (100 * 150))/350 = ~88.57143

Determine the pattern in the table and write the function rule. <br> Please help asap.
klio [65]

you need to find how much the output changes for each unit change in the input. (ie from an input change from 5 to 6 the output changes by three units and an input change of 3 (2 - 5 )  units the output changes by 9 units). This will give you the gradient of the equation. then you have to find out the y intercept by finding what the output is when the input is 0. Do this by multiplying the input by the gradient and then subtracting it from that inputs output. This will give you the answer A) 3x

(Sorry, its a bit wordy :) )

Solve the equation by expressing each side as a power of the same base and then equating exponents.
alexdok [17]
1/27 = 3^(-3)

3^(3x+6) = 3^(-3)

When bases are the same, all you need to do is set the exponents equal to each other:

3x+6 = -3
3x = -9
x = -3
