Answer:
a) g(x) = f(x) + 3
So g(x) is a vertical translation of f(x), 3 units upwards
b) g(x) = 3x² - 1 + 3
g(x) = 3x² + 2
The graph has shifted 3 units upwards, so has the vertex.
The vertex of f is (0,-1)
Whereas the vertex of g is (0,2)
-1 + 3 = 2
d = distance between the two cities
v₁ = average speed while going from chicago to kansas city = 440 knots
t₁ = time taken to travel distance going from chicago to kansas city
time taken to travel distance going from chicago to kansas city is given as
t₁ = d/v₁
t₁ = d/440 eq-1
v₂ = average speed while going from kansas city to chicago = 110 knots
t₂ = time taken to travel distance going from kansas city to chicago
time taken to travel distance going from kansas city to chicago is given as
t₂ = d/v₂
t₂ = d/110 eq-2
Given that :
t₂ = t₁ + 3
using eq-1 and eq-2
(d/110) = (d/440) + 3
d = 440
