Since f(x) is written in vertex form with a negtive vertical expansion factor, we know it opens downward and the maximum is at the vertex, 3.
Since we have a graph of g(x), we can read the maximum from the graph, 4.
We can determine which function has the largest maximum by noting that the largest maximum is 4 and that it corresponds to function g(x).
Answer:
1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance covered by each of the two vehicle can be written as
where
d is the distance covered
v is the speed of the vehicle
t is the time elapsed
For the bus, the speed is
So the distance covered by the bus in a time t is
(1)
The kids in the bus took 3 hours to reach the camp,
t = 3 h
So the distance between the school and the camp is:
For the truck, the speed is
So the distance covered by the truck in a time t is
(2)
Since the distance to cover is 180 miles, the time taken by the truck is
And so, the truck arrives
1 hour after the bus.
