Answer:

Barbara's speed in clear weather is 60mph and in the thunderstorm is 38mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v_1 be the speed and  t_1 be the time Barbara drives in clear weather, and let v_2 be the speed and t_2 be the time she drives in the thunderstorm.

Barbara drives 22 mph lower in the thunderstorm than in the clear weather; therefore,

(1). v_2 = v_1 -22

Also,

(2). v_1t_1 = 45miles

(3). v_2 t_2 = 57,

and

(4). t_1+t_2 = 2.25hr

From equations (2) and (3) we get:

t_1 = \dfrac{45}{v_1}

t_2 =\dfrac{57}{v_2}

putting these in equation (4) we get:

\dfrac{45}{v_1}+\dfrac{57}{v_2}=2.25

and substituting for v_2 from equation (1) we get:

\dfrac{45}{v_1}+\dfrac{57}{v_1-22}=2.25

This equation can be rewritten as

2.25v_1^2-151.5v_1+990=0

which has solutions

v_1 = 60

v_1 = 7.33

We take the first solution v_1 =60 because it gives a positive value for v_2:

v_2 = v_1 -22

v_2 = 60 -22\\

v_2 = 38.

Thus, Barbara's speed in clear weather is 60mph and in the thunderstorm is 38mph.

Number 3 please! pic is above^
zmey [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2-x1)

y2 = 800, y1 = 400, x2= 4, x1= 2

Slope = (800-400)/(4-2)

= 400/2

= 200calories/hr

Which function has the same rate of change as fx= 3x+5​
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is defined as the derivative of the function, or also known as the slope. The derivative here would be 3. Another function which has the same rate of change would be any function with a slope of 3. A few example are:

f(x) = 3x + 1

f(x) = 3x + 2
