Answer:
pretty sure the tree's 20 feet
Answer:
b. x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x¹⁶ − x¹⁴ = k (x¹⁵ − x¹⁴)
x¹⁴ (x² − 1) = k x¹⁴ (x − 1)
x² − 1 = k (x − 1)
(x − 1) (x + 1) = k (x − 1)
x + 1 = k
Critical points is where the derivative (slope) is zero or does not exist. So to do this we have to find the derivative of our function:

So we apply chain rule:
=

Set our first derivative to zero and solve for x:
3(x^2 - 1) * 2x = 0
So we can see that (by plugging in) 0, -1 and 1 makes our solution true
So our critical value is x = 0, x = -1, x = 1
248/4=62
62•7 1/2=465 miles
He will go 465 miles in 7 hours and 30 minutes
Speed (S) = Distance (D) / time (t)
First stretch
45 = D / 2
D = 45*2
D = 90 mp
How is the same distance:
Second stretch
S = 90 / t
Average speed (AS):
AS = (S1+S2) / 2
60 = [45+(90/t)] / 2
120 = 45+90/t
120-45 = 90/t
75 = 90/t
t = 90/75
t = 1,2 h

And now:
S = 90 / t
S = 90 / 1,2
S = 75 mph
