Answer:

55 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance/Time so Time = Distance / Speed.

If the first speed is x mph, the first trip will take 660/x hours.

The second trip will take 660/(x+5) hours.

We want to find x such that (660/x) - 660/(x+5) = 1 (i.e. solving this equation for x).

Multiply both sides by x*(x+5):

660*(x+5) - 660x = x*(x+5)

660x + 3300 - 660x = x2 + 5x

x2 + 5x - 3300 = 0

(x - 55)*(x + 60) = 0

So either x = 55 or x = -60. Since x > 0, x = 55mph.

What is the maximum number of possible extreme values for the function, F(x)=x^4+x^3-7x^2-x+6?
Arturiano [62]

Coming from a 6th grader but I hope this is right!

Polynomials of degree greater than 2 can have more than one max or min value. The largest possible number of minimum or maximum points is one less than the degree of the polynomial. The following examples illustrate several possibilities.

since the degree is 4

number of possible extreme values = 4 -1 = 3

Find the range of the given data set.<br> -4, -3, -1, -1, 0, 1
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Range = highest value - lowest value

The highest value from the data set given = 1

The lowest value = -4

Therefore :

Range = 1 - (-4)

Range = 1 + 4

Range = 5
