Answer:

3.46 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Tara bicycling without wind effect = 15mph

let the speed of wind be x mph

If she cycles against the wind then her speed will be decrease by the amount as the speed of wind

Then,

Speed of Tara bicycling against wind effect = (15-x)mph

distance traveled by Tara against wind = 10 miles

we know that

time = distance by speed

time taken by Tara while traveling against wind = 10/(15-x)

_______________________________________________________

If she cycles with the wind then her speed will be increase by the amount as the speed of wind

Then,

Speed of Tara bicycling with wind effect = (15+x)mph

distance traveled by Tara w wit wind = 16 miles

time taken by Tara while traveling with wind = 16/(15+x)

___________________________________________

it is given that both the time are same

time taken by Tara while traveling with wind  = time taken by Tara while traveling against wind

16/(15+x) = 10/(15-x)

=> 16(15-x)=10(15+x)

=> 240 - 16x = 150 +10x

=>240 - 150 = 10x+16x

=> 90 = 26x

=> x = 90/26 = 3.46

Thus, speed of wind is 3.46 mph.

The total cost for a chair, a desk, and a lamp is $562. The desk costs four times as much as the lamp and the chair costs $23 le
alexandr1967 [171]
Ok I’m giving a educated guess here so $562 divided by 3 is 187.3 then you do 187.3-23 which would be 164.3 so if I’m correct it would be 164.3 for both the chair and the lamp and 187.3 for the desk also just a heads up the .3 would be .333333.... :) I will delete if I’m wrong

Which equation represents y = −x2 + 6x + 7 in vertex form? y = −(x + 3)2 + 4 y = −(x − 3)2 + 10 y = −(x + 3)2 + 2 y = −(x − 3)2
Colt1911 [192]

\text{The vertex form:}\ y=a(x-h)^2+k\\\\f(x)=ax^2+bx+c\to h=\dfrac{-b}{2a},\ k=f(h)\\\\\text{We have}\ y=-x^2+6x+7\to f(x)=-x^2+6x+7\\\\a=-1,\ b=6,\ c=7\\\\h=\dfrac{-6}{2(-1)}=\dfrac{-6}{-2}=3\\\\k=f(3)=-3^2+6(3)+7=-9+18+7=16\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{y=-(x-3)^2+16}
