Answer:
(x) =
Step-by-step explanation:
let y = f(x), then rearrange making x the subject
y = x + 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
y - 4 = x ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )
5y - 20 = x
Change y back into terms of x with x = (x) , then
(x) = 5x - 20
Given:
An athlete who makes laps in 3 mins 45 seconds on a 400m field.
To find:
The speed of the athlete in m/s.
Solution:
We know that,
Distance covered in 1 lap = 400 m
Distance covered in laps =
m
= m
= m
We know that,
1 minute = 60 seconds
3 minutes = 180 seconds
3 minutes 45 second = 180 + 45 seconds
= 225 second
The speed of the athlete is:
Therefore, the speed of the athlete is about 8.44 m/s.
