Speed is the ratio of distance and time. When we divide f(x) by g(x) we will get the speed of the flock that is 9 miles/hour.
<h3>What is speed?</h3>Speed can be defined as the rate of change in the position of an object. It is given as,
Given to us
Distance traveled, f(x) = 2x+26
Time, g(x) = x − 1
As we know that the ratio of distance and time is equal to the speed of the object. Since the distance traveled by the flock of birds is given also, the time needed for them to travel the distance is also given.
We need to find f divided by g of 5, which is the speed of the flock,
Hence, when we divide f(x) by g(x) we will get the speed of the flock that is 9 miles/hour.
