Answer:

\bold{t = f(s) = \dfrac{6.2}{s}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that distance is 10,000 meter or 6.2 miles.

Time taken is t minutes.

Average speed is s miles/minutes

To find:

Equation to determine time 't' as a function of average speed 's' = ?

t is in minutes and

s is in miles/minute

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for Average Speed:

\text{Average Speed} = \dfrac{\text{Total Distance Traveled}}{\text{Total Time Taken}}\\\Rightarrow \text{Total Time Taken} = \dfrac{\text{Total Distance Traveled}}{\text{Average Speed}}\\

Now, we are given that Time, t should be in minutes and

Average speed, s must be in miles per minute

That means, we must have distance in miles.

Putting all the values in above formula.

So, the formula or equation becomes:

t = \dfrac{6.2}{s}

Therefore the equation to find time, t in minutes as a function of Average Speed, s is given as:

\bold{t = f(s) = \dfrac{6.2}{s}}

The sum of two numbers is 50. One number is 10 less than three times the other number. What are the two numbers? 25 and 25 45 an
DENIUS [597]
One number is x
other number is 3x-10

x + 3x - 10 = 50
4x = 50 + 10
4x = 60
x = 60/4
x = 15   ← one number

 the other number = 3x - 10 = 3*15 - 10 = 35

<u>They</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>neither</u><u> </u><u>parallel</u><u> </u><u>nor</u><u> </u><u>perpendicular</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>since</u><u> </u><u>slope</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>different</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>not</u><u> </u><u>related</u><u> </u><u>by</u><u> </u><u>any</u><u> </u><u>equation</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First arrange them according to general equation:
