A man travels from town X to town Y at an average rate of 60 mph and returns at an average rate of 50 mph. He takes a 1/2 hour l
onger than he would take if he made the round trip at an average of 55 mph. What is the distance from Town X to Town Y?

Answer:
1650 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Distance = d miles ; rate = 60 mph ; time = d/60 hrs
distance = d miles ; rate = 50 mph ; time = d/50 hrs
----------------------
Round-trip DATA:
distance = 2d miles ; rate = 55 mph ; time = (2d)/55 hrs
-----------------------------------------------------------
Equation:
Roundtrip time - other time = -1/2 hr
(2d)/55 - [(d/60)+(d/50)] = -1/2
(2d)/55 - [(110d)/(50*60)] = -1/2
---
600(2d) - 11[110d] = -16500
1200d - 1210d = -16500
-10d = -16500
distance = 1650 miles
Hope this helped :)</span>

Two vertical asymptotes at -1 and 0
If we simply
- Denominator has degree 2
- Numerator should have degree as 2 and coefficient as 3 inorder to get horizontal asymptote y=3 means the quadratic equation should contain 3x²
- But there should be a x intercept at -3 so one zeros should be -3
