The expression which relates the total time taken and the time taken for the trip is [15s + 15(s+2)] / s² + 2s and 2.32 hours respectively.
<em>Travel time = distance ÷ speed </em>
<u>Second half of the trip</u> :
- <em>Distance covered = 15 miles</em>
<u>Time taken for second half of trip</u> :
Time taken = 15 / s
<u>First half of the trip</u> :
- <em>Speed = s + 2 mph </em>
<u>Time taken for first half of trip :</u>
Time taken = 15 / (s+2)
<u>Total time taken :</u>
<em>First half + second half</em>
15/(s+2) + 15/s = [15s + 15(s+2)] / s² + 2s
B)
If s = 12
<em>Substitute s = 12 into the expression</em> :
[15(12) + 15(12+2)] / 12² + 2(12)
[180 + 210] / 144 + 24
390 / 168
= 2.32 hours
Therefore, the total time taken is 2.32 hours.

Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
g(x) = - 2x² + 3x
g(3) = - 2 * 3² + 3 *3
= -2 * 9 + 9
= -18 + 9
= -9
