The answer would be
x = 160/147
or
x = 1 and 13/147
Answer:
you need a y to get at least 1 point
Step #1 for both: figure out which interval your x-value fits into.
For f(-2), x=-2 and -2 fits with x ≤ -2, the top interval.
For f(3), x=3 and 3 fits into -2 < x ≤ 3, the middle interval.
Step #2 for both, plug in your x-value to the piece of the function that fits with that interval.
For f(-2), we know x≤-2, so we use 2x+8 to evaluate x=-2.
For f(3), we know -2
f(-2) = 2(-2)+8 = -4+8 = 4
f(3) = (3)^2 -3 = 9-3 = 6
To get the time taken for Jan and Jo to meet we proceed as follows;
Jan's speed=70 mph
Jo's speed =60 mph
distance between =1170
relative speed=70+60=130
time taken for them to meet will be:
time=(distance)/(relative speed)
=1170/130
=9 hours
the answer is 9 hours
