On the first part of her trip Natalie rode her bike 16 miles and on the second part of the trip she rode her bike 42 miles. Her

average speed during the second part of the trip was 6 mph faster than her average speed on the first part of the trip. Find her average speed for the second part of the trip if the total time for the trip was 5 hours.

Answer:

14 mph   ( average speed during the second part of the trip )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call  "x"  the average speed during the first part then

t = 5 hours

t  =  t₁  +  t₂        t₁   and  t₂   times during part 1 and 2 respectively

l = t*v           (  distance is speed by time )      t =  l/v

First part

t₁  = 16/x        and      t₂  = 42 / ( x + 6)

Then

t =   5   =  16/x   +   42 /(x + 6)

5 = [ 16 * ( x  +  6 ) +  42 * x ] / x* ( x + 6 )

5 *x * ( x + 6 )  =  16*x  + 96 +  42 x

5*x² + 30*x  - 58*x - 96  =  0

5*x²  -  28*x  -  96  =  0

We obtained a second degree equation, we will solve for x and dismiss any negative root since negative time has not sense

x₁,₂  =   [28 ± √ (28)² + 1920  ] / 10

x₁,₂  = ( 28  ± √2704 )/ 10

x₁  = 28  -  52 /10        we dismiss that root

x₂  = 80/10

x₂  =  8 mph       average speed during the first part, and the average speed in the second part was 6 more miles than in the firsst part. then the average spedd dring the scond part was 8 + 6 = 14 mph

Whats 3.2r + 14.7=6.74
Nata [24]

<u><em>r=-199/80 is the right answer.</em></u> First, you had to multiply by 100 from both sides of the equation. And it gave us, 3.2r*100+14.7*100=6.74*100. Next, you had to refine, and it gave us, 320r+1470=674. Then, subtract by 1470 from both sides of equation. And it gave us, 320r+1470-1470=674-1470. Simplify, and it gave us, 320r=-796. You can also divide by 320 from both sides of equation. And it gave us, \frac{320r}{320}=\frac{-796}{320}. And finally, simplify, and it gave us the answer is <em><u>r=-199/80 is the right answer.</u></em> Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly. And have a great day! -Charlie

Suppose the equation of the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function is x = 3 and one of the x-intercepts is 8. What is the oth
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry divides the quadratic exactly in half. If one x-intercept is 8, then the other will be the same distance on the other side of it. 8 is 5 from 3 where the axis of symmetry is. So 3-5 = -2. -2 will be the other intercept.
