For first 50 miles:-
x + 9  = 50 / t       where x is average speed for the last 68 miles and t = time taken for the first 50 miles.

For the second 68 miles:-
x =  68 / (3 - t) 

Substitute for x in first equation:-
68 / (3 - t) + 9 = 50/t
68t + 9t(3 - t) = 50(3 - t)
68t + 27t - 9t^2 = 150 - 50t
9t^2 - 145t  + 150 = 0
t = 1.111 , 15  (ignore the 15 hours as total time = 3).
so the speed for the first 50 miles = 50 / 1.111 =  45 miles per hour Answer

d = rt  

t = d/r  

3 = 50/(x+9) + 68/x  

x = 36mph  

36mph + 9mph = 45mph  

They traveled at 45mph for the first 50 miles and 36mph for the last 68 miles.

Complete the table to investigate dialations of exponential functions.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

a = 1, b = 3, c = 1, d = 2, e = 6, and f = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given exponential functions are;

2ˣ, 3·2ˣ, and  2^{3 \cdot x}

Let f(x) = 2ˣ, h(x) = 3·2ˣ, and g(x) = 2^{3 \cdot x}

From the table for investigating the dilations of exponential function, we have;

a = f(0) = 2⁰ = 1

b = h(0) = 3·2⁰ = 3 × 1 = 3

c = g(0) = 2^{3 \times 0} = 2⁰ = 1

d = f(1) = 2¹ = 2

e = h(1) = 3·2¹ = 3 × 2 = 6

f = g(1) = 2^{3 \times 1} = 2³ = 8.
