Answer:

5 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the runner travel at x miles an hour , then the cyclist travels at 5/ 3 * x

= 5/3 x  miles an hour.

So we have the equation

5/3 x - x = 2    ( since the cyclist was  travelling at 2  mph faster).,

2/3 x = 2

x = 3/2 * 2 = 3 mph.

So the cyclists speed was  3 * 5/3

= 5 mph.

What kind of function is being illustrated by f(x)=|2x³-3x|+5?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Option D: Absolute value function

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is the distance of the number from 0 to the left or right on the number line.

We are given the function;

f(x) = |2x³ - 3x| + 5

This function contains an absolute value symbol which is |2x³ - 3x|.

This function is thus illustrated by an an absolute value function because an absolute value function will be one that contains algebraic expressions within absolute value symbols.
