Two cyclists, 112 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 times as fast as the other, and the

y meet after 4 hours of riding.
a. Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem. Use the variable r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist.

b. What are the speeds of the two cyclists? Put both values in the answerbox, separated with a comma, and select the appropriate units.

Answer:

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr

Speed of a = 3r

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclist are 112 miles apart

Time traveled by two = 4 hours

Speed of a = 3 * speed of b

If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b

But speed = distance/time

Time = 4hours

Total distance=112

a = 3b

3b + b = 112

4b = 112

b = 112/4

b = 28 miles

a = 3b

a = 3*28

a = 84 Miles

They bought traveled 4 hours

Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours

Speed of b = 7 miles/hr

CWhat is the vertex of the quadratic<br> y = 2(x – 3)2 + 6​
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

vertex = (3, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a quadratic in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

y = 2(x - 3)² + 6 ← is in vertex form

with vertex = (h, k ) = (3, 6 )
