Answer:

x = 816 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance traveled by Kirk = 450km

Distance traveled by Thor = 408 km

Let the average driving speed of Thor be x.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;

k = x + 6

We know that the time taken to cover a distance by an object with speed is given by the formula;

Time = distance/speed

Substituting into the equation, we have;

408/x = 405/x + 6

Cross-multiplying, we have;

408*(x + 6) = 405*x

408x + 2448 = 405x

408x - 405x = 2448

3x = 2448

x = 2448/3

x = 816 kilometers per hour.

Compute the difference quotient StartFraction f left parenthesis x plus h right parenthesis minus f left parenthesis x right par
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

\dfrac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}=-8x-4h-3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-4x^2-3x-4

f(x+h)=-4(x+h)^2-3(x+h)-4

f(x+h)=-4(x^2+2xh+h^2)-3(x+h)−4

f(x+h)=-4x^2-8xh-4h^2-3x-3h-4

f(x+h) - f(x)=-4x^2-8xh-4h^2-3x-3h-4-(-4x2-3x-4)

f(x+h) - f(x)=-4x^2-8xh-4h^2-3x-3h-4+4x2+3x+4

f(x+h) - f(x)=-8xh-4h^2-3h

f(x+h) - f(x)=h(-8x-4h-3)

\dfrac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}=\dfrac{h(-8x-4h-3)}{h}

\dfrac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}=-8x-4h-3
