Answer:

Goal is not achievable

Step-by-step explanation:

There are Two laps and the total distance here is 2miles. Now, it is said that he hopes to travel at a speed of 60mph, thus the total time that it would take him to complete the 2 miles distance race is 2/60 = 1/30 hours. Thus if he travels at a constant speed of 60mph he would finish the race at 1/30hours.

This means he will take a time of 1/60 hours per lap.

Now, he travels 30mph to complete 1 mile, the time taken for this is 1/30h

We now need to know the speed he travels on the second lap.

Average speed = Total distance/Total time

60mph = 2/( 1/30 + T2)

60 = 2/( (1 + 30T2)/30)

60 = 2 divided by (1 + 30T2)/30

60 = 2 * (30)/1 + 30T2

60( 1 + 30T2) = 60

1 + 30T2 = 1

30T2 = 0

T2 = 0

This means that he cannot achieve his goal again as he had taken the time meant for the whole race in a single lap.

What is the first step in writing f(x) = 6x2 + 5 – 42x in vertex form?
Marina CMI [18]
The first step to getting this in vertex form would be to put this in proper standard form. This is so that you can split the middle term which is a step of completing the square.

Which expression represents the volume of the pyramid? One-fourths2h units3 One-thirds2h units3 s2h units3 3s2h units3
seraphim [82]

Answer:

V=\dfrac{1}{3}s^2h

Step-by-step explanation:

The question should be :

A solid right pyramid has a square base with an edge length of s units and a height of h units.

The formula for the volume of the pyramid is given by :

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times A\times h

A is area of base and h is height.

As edge length is s units.

A = (s)²

So,

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times s^2\times h\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}s^2h

So, the required volume is one-thirds s²h unit³.
