Answer:

The speed of right going rider is 9 mph

The speed of left going rider is 18 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total distance apart both the riders = 54 miles

Let The speed of right going rider = x mph

and The speed of left going rider = 2 x  mph

The Distance cover by right going rider = D miles

The Distance cover by left going rider = 54 - D  miles

Total time for both = 2 hours

So, Time = \dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}

Or ,  Distance = speed × Time

For right going rider

       D = x × 2

For left going rider

      54 - D = 2 x × 2

Or, from first equation

     54 - 2 x = 4 x

or, 54 = 4 x + 2 x

or, 6 x = 54

∴   x = \frac{54}{6}

I.e x = 9 mph

So, The speed of right going rider = 9 mph

and The speed of left going rider = 2 × 9 = 18  mph

Hence The speed of right going rider is 9 mph

and The speed of left going rider is 18 mph   answer

Sliva [168]

Using <u>complex numbers and radicals</u>, it is found that the correct option is C.

When a complex number is a root of a polynomial function, it's conjugate also has to be.

  • Hence, since 8i is a root of the function, -8i is also a root.

The same is valid for radicals, as they are in the \pm format.

  • Since 7 - \sqrt{5} is a root, 7 + \sqrt{5} is also a root.

Hence, option C is correct.
