Answer:

24mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the distance between the destination is 10 miles. The train will reach the destination in 30 min for the first round and 20 min the second. Now, we can say, the train took 50 min to go 20 miles. Which is also 24mph. (5min=2miles)

A student says that the graph of the equation y = 3(x + 8) is the same as the graph of y = 3x, only translated upwards by 8 unit
Wittaler [7]

Given:

A student says that the graph of the equation y = 3(x + 8) is the same as the graph of y = 3x, only translated upwards by 8 units.

To find:

Whether the student is correct or not.

Solution:

Initial equation is

y=3x

f(x)=3x

Equation of after transformation is

y=3(x+8)

g(x)=3(x+8)

Now,

g(x)=f(x+8)      ...(i)

The translation is defined as

g(x)=f(x+a)+b        ...(ii)

Where, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

From (i) and (ii), we get

a=8\text{ and }b=0

Therefore, the graph of y=3x translated left by 8 units. Hence, the student is wrong.
