Answer:

Let the speed of the train be x km/h.

Case 1:

Distance = 288 km

Speed = x km/h

Time = Distance/Speed

= 288/x h

Case 2:

Distance = 288 km

Speed = (x+4) km/h

Time = 288/x + 4 h

Since 288/x > 288/x + 4

288/x - 288/x+4 = 1

288[1/x - 1/x+4 ] = 1

[ x + 4 - x / x(x + 4) ] = 1/288

[4 / x^2 + 4x ] = 1/288

x^2 + 4x = 1152

x^2 + 4x - 1152 = 0

x^2 + 36x - 32x - 1152 = 0

x(x + 36) - 32(x + 36) = 0

(x + 36)(x - 32) = 0

x + 36 = 0 , x - 32 = 0

x = -36 , x = 32

x = -36 , rejected since speed cannot be negative.

Therefore , speed of the train = 32 km/h

Cho tam giác ABC cân tại A trung tuyến AM.Biết BC=6cm,AM=4cm .Tính độ dài các cạnh AB và AC
abruzzese [7]

Vì tam giác ABC cân tại A (gt) mà AM là đg trung tuyến nên AM đồng thời là đg cao của t/giác đó:

AM là trung tuyến của t/giác ABC nên M là trung điểm BC:

=> BM =BC/2 =6:2=3(cm)

Xét tam giác AMB vuông tại M

AB^2 =AM^2+BM^2 ( theo định lý Py-ta -go)

Please solve this question asap
disa [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

y =  \sqrt{4x + 6}

{y}^{2}  = 4x + 6

{y}^{2}  - 6 = 4x

\frac{1}{4} ( {y}^{2}  - 6) = x

Swap x and y

\frac{ {x}^{2} - 6 }{4}  = y
