To find the average speed for the whole race, you just have to add the speed from a starting marker and the speed from the turnaround marker going back and divide it by 2 since there are only two speeds involved.

10 m/s + 16m/s = 26 m/s / 2 = 13 m/s

Therefore, the average speed for the whole race is 13 m/s.

<span>Average speed = Total Distance/Total time ------(1) Let us assume that the distance from starting marker to turnaround marker is 'x' Total distance travelled = 2x Speed from starting marker to turnaround marker , s1 = 10 m/s Speed from turnaround market to starting market , s2 - 16 m/s Let, Time taken from starting marker to turnaround marker be t1 Time taken from turnaround marker to starting marker be t2. Applying these values in equation (1), Average speed = (2x)/(t1+t2) -------(2) From (1), t1 = x/s1 = x/10 t2 = x/s2 = x/16 Substituting the above in (2), Average speed = (2x)/(x/10+x/16) m/s = (2x)/(13x/80) m/s = 160/13 m/s = 12.3 m/s We can also arrive at the average speed by using the formula 2(s1)(s2)/(s1+s2)</span>

This table shows values that represent an exponential function.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [ a, b ] = [ 2, 4 ], thus

f(b) = f(4) = 16 ← corresponding value of y from table

f(a) = f(2) = 4 ← corresponding value of y from table , thus

average rate of change = \frac{16-4}{4-2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6 → A

Molly and Maddie are clothes shopping. Molly has $100.00 and a coupon for a $5.00 discount at a clothing store where each shirt
lyudmila [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

let us start with

Molly's equation

15x + 10 = 100

solving for x we have

15x=100-10

15x=90

x=90/15

x=6

Maddie's equation

15x - 10 = 100

solving for x we have

15x=100+10

15x=120

x=120/15

x=8

well, from the solution niether of them is correct
