Answer:
Because they are parrallel you already know that whatever the answer is, the slopes are the same
Distance to travel = 20 m.
Let us determine the time, t, that each participant took to complete 20 m.
Barbara:
Average speed = (3 m)/(2 s) = 1.5 m/s
t = 20/1.5 = 13.3 s
Mark:
t = 5 s
Carlos:
y = x + 1
where
y = 20 m
x = time, t
Therefore
t =x = y - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19 s
Summary:
Barbara: 13.3 s
Mark: 5 s
Carlos: 19 s
Answer:
The winner is Mark

Yes, for any value of "b" the value of the first expression is greater than the value of the second expression.
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the given values of "b" into each expression and evaluate.
- For the first expression
, you get:
If
→ 
If
→ 
If
→ 
- For the second expression
, you get:
If
→ 
If
→ 
If
→ 
You can observe that for any value of "b" the value of the first expression is greater than the value of the second expression.
Here it is! Have a nice day. :)
