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

PLEASE HELP ME I need an answer

Just for you beautiful!


Use distance formula: d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

(11,-4) is (x1,y1) and (-12,-4) is (x2,y2)

Plug in and simplify

d = sqrt((-12 - 11)^2 + (-4 - -4)^2)

d = sqrt((-23)^2 + (0)^2)

d = sqrt(529 + 0)

d = sqrt(529)

d = 23 (positive because length cannot be negative) ;)
