Speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the speed of west bound cyclist is 15 mph.
<u>Solution:</u>
Let us assume that x is speed of slower eastbound cyclist
So, x+3 will be the speed of faster westbound cyclist
We know that distance is the product of speed and time. That is,

West-bound DATA:
Rate of speed = x+3 mph ; Time = 6 hrs ; distance = 6(x+3) = 6x+18 miles
East-bound DATA:
Rate of speed = x mph ; time = 6 hrs. ; distance = 6x miles
On solving,
Distance apart = 162



So, the rate of speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the rate of speed of the west bound cyclist will be 
Answer:
The function
is represented by
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Statement indicates that atmospheric pressure decreases exponentially when height above sea level is increased. This fact is represented by the following model:
(Eq. 1)
Where:
- Atmospheric pressure at sea level, measured in kilopascals.
-Atmospheric pressure decrease rate, dimensionless.
- Height above sea level, measured in kilometers.
- Current pressure, measured in kilopascals.
If we know that
and
, the function
is represented by:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x)= x^2-5x+c=0
P (-2)= (-2)^2-5 (-2)+c=0
= 4+10+c=0
=14+c=0
C=(-14)
