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

How to write a polynomial in standard form
Setler79 [48]

Step-by-step explanation: Standard form is when we take a polynomial and we write it in order from the greatest degree to the smallest degree.

Let's look at an example which I provided in the image attached.

In this polynomial, I have 2 degrees, 1 degree, and 1 degree above the <em>x</em>.

This is not in the form of least to greatest so I need to write it in descending order. Our constant which in this is 27 will be last in polynomial.

So, you look at the degree of each term and then write each in term in order of degree from greatest to least (descending order).
