Answer:
<u>The Eastbound train speed is 76.5 miles per hour and the Westbound train speed is 79.5 miles per hour.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review all the information provided for solving this question:
Eastbound train speed = x
Westbound train speed = x + 3 miles per hour (The speed of the westbound train is 3mph greater than the speed of the eastbound train)
Duration of trip = 3 hours
Distance between trains after 3 hours = 468 miles
2. Let's find the speed of each train, using the following equation:
3x + 3(x + 3) = 468
3x + 3x + 9 = 468
6x + 9 = 468
6x = 468 - 9 (Subtracting 9 at both sides)
6x = 459
x = 459/6 (Dividing by 6 at both sides)
x = 76.5 miles per hour
<u>The Eastbound train speed is 76.5 miles per hour and the Westbound train speed is 79.5 miles per hour.</u>
3. Proof that x = 76.5 is correct
3x + 3(x + 3) = 468
3 (76.5) + 3 (76.5 + 3) = 468
229.5 + 238.5 = 468
<u>468 = 468</u>
<u>The value of x = 76. 5 is correct. And now we know that the Eastbound train has traveled 229.5 miles since the departure from Cleveland and the Westbound train 238.5 miles.</u>
Find the possible rational roots and use synthetic division to find the first zero.
I chose x=1 (which represents the factor "x-1")
1║2 -7 -13 63 -45
║ 2 -5 -18 45
2 -5 -18 45 0
(x-1) is a factor, (2x³ - 5x² - 18x + 45) is the other factor.
Use synthetic division on the decomposed polynomial to find the next zero.
I chose x = 3 (which represents the factor "x-3")
3║2 -5 -18 45
║ 6 3 -45
2 1 -15 0
Using synthetic division, we discovered that (x-1), (x-3), & (2x² + x -15) are factors. Take the new decomposed polynomial (2x² + x -15) and find the last two factors using any method.
Final Answer: (x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2x-5)
