41. Suppose a family drives at an average rate of 60 mi/h on the way to visit relatives and then at an average rate of 40 mi/h o

n the way back. The return trip takes 1 h longer than the trip there.
a. Let d be the distance in miles the family traveled to visit their relatives. How

many hours did it take to drive there?

b. In terms of d, how many hours did it take to make the return trip?

C. Write and solve an equation to determine the distance the family drove to see

their relatives. What was the average rate for the entire trip?

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let x represent the time taken to drive to see the relatives and let d be the distance travelled to go, hence:

60 mi/h = d/x

d = 60x

When returning, they still travelled a distance d, since the return trip takes 1 h longer than the trip there, therefore:

40 mi/h = d/(x+1)

d = 40(x + 1) = 40x + 40

Equating both equations:

60x = 40x + 40

60x - 40x = 40

20x = 40

x = 40/20

x = 2 h

The time taken to drive there = x = 2 hours

b) The time taken for return trip = x + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 hours

c) The distance d = 60x = 60(2) = 120 miles

The total distance to and fro = 2d = 2(120) = 240 miles

The total time to and fro = 2 h + 3 h = 5 h

Average speed = total distance / total time = 240 miles / 5 h = 48 mi/h

Does the absolute value graph below flips or not flips? F(x)=2|x-9|+3
True [87]

Answer:

The absolute value graph below does not flip.

Step-by-step explanation:

New graphs are made when transformed from their parents graphs. The parent graph for an absolute value graph is f(x) = |x|.

The equation used for a new graph transformed from the parent graph is in the form f(x) = a |k(x - d)| + c.

"a" shows vertical stretch (a>1) or vertical compression (0<a<1), and <u>flip across the x-axis if "a" is negative</u>.

"k" shows horizontal stretch (0<k<1) or horizontal compression (k>1), and <u>flip across the y-axis if "k" is negative</u>.

"d" shows horizontal shifts left (positive number) or right (negative number).

"c" shows vertical shifts up (positive) or down (negative).

The function f(x)=2|x-9|+3 has these transformations from the parent graph:

a = 2; Vertical stretch by a factor of 2

k = 1; No change

d = 9; Horizontal shift right 9 units

c = 3; Vertical shift up 3 units

Since neither "a" nor "k" was negative, there were no flips, <u>also known as reflections</u>.
