Answer:
a^2+11a+30
(a+5)(a+6)
Let me know if this helps!
23/ 4621 is 0.00497728, if you meant 4621/ 23 then it's 200.913043.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the function in exponential form is

The function is determined using points (0,1) and (1,3), so their coordinates satisfy the eduation. Substitute them:
![1=a\cdot b^0\Rightarrow a=1\ \ [b^0=1]\\ \\3=a\cdot b^1\Rightarrow 1\cdot b=3,\ b=3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%3Da%5Ccdot%20b%5E0%5CRightarrow%20a%3D1%5C%20%5C%20%5Bb%5E0%3D1%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C3%3Da%5Ccdot%20b%5E1%5CRightarrow%201%5Ccdot%20b%3D3%2C%5C%20b%3D3)
Thus, the equation of the function is

We know that:
time=distance/speed
if the tortoise speed is x m/min, then since 0.5 m/hr=1/120 m/min
18/x=23+18/(x+1/120)
solving for x we get:
x=0.08 m/min
speed of hare is:
(0.08+1/120)=0.088 m/min
