Let x mph be the speed for the 110 miles trip. Then for 80 miles,
Speed = (x-20) mph

Time, t = Distance/Speed
On 110 miles, t1 = 110/x hrs
On 80 miles, t2 = 80/(x-20) hrs

Total time = 4 hrs = t1+t2 = 110/x + 80/(x-20)

Solving for x;
4 = [110(x-20) + 80(x)]/x(x-20)
4(x)(x-20) = 110x -2200 + 80x
4x^2 - 80x = 110x - 2200 + 80x
4x^2 -80x -110x  - 80x +2200 = 0
4x^2 -270x +2200 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation;
x = [-(-270)+/- Sqrt ((-270)^2 -4(4)(2200)]/2*4 = 33.75+/- 24.27 = 9.48 mph or 58.02 mph

Ignore the value smaller than 20 as this would yield a negative value of second speed which is not practical.

Therefore, speed in the first 110 miles is 58.02 mph

Answer:

#1). 6 , 18 , 54

#2). 5/3 , 14 / 9 , 41/27

#3). 1.5 , 2.5 , 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

#1).

g(x) = 3x

g(2) = 3 . 2 = 6

g²(2) = 3 . 3 . 2 = 18

g³(2) = 3 . 3 . 3 . 2 = 54

#2).

g(x) = 1/3 x + 1

g(2) = 2/3 + 1 = 5/3

g²(2) = g(5/3) = 5/9 + 1 = 14/9

g³(2) = g(14/9) = 14/27 + 1 = 41/27

#3).

g(x) = -1 ║x - 2 ║ + 3

g(0.5) = -1 (1.5) + 3 = 1.5

g²(0.5) = g(1.5) = -1(0.5) + 3 = 2.5

g³(0.5) = g(2.5) = -1(0.5) + 3 = 2.5
