Answer:
a) average rate = (total distance)/(total time)
b) Rave = 2·R1·R2/(R1 +R2)
c) cheetah's average rate ≈ 50.91 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let AB represent the distance from A to B. Let t1 and t2 represent the travel times (in hours) on leg1 and leg2 of the trip, respectively. Then the distances traveled are...
First leg distance: AB = 70·t1 ⇒ t1 = AB/70
Second leg distance: AB = 40·t2 ⇒ t2 = AB/40
The average rate is the ratio of total distance to total time:
average rate = (AB +AB)/(t1 +t2)
average rate = 2AB/(AB/70 +AB/40) = 2/(1/70 +1/40) = 2(40)(70)/(70+40)
average rate = 560/11 = 50 10/11 . . . mph

No equations are given, so we cannot compare what we wrote with the given equations. In each step of the solution, we have used the rules of algebra and equality.
b) For two rates over the same distance (as above), the average is their harmonic mean:
average rate = 2r1·r2/(r1+r2)

c) The cheetah's average rate was 50 10/11 mph ≈ 50.91 mph.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have written g(x) correctly then g(-5) = 3.40 - 8 = -4.6
If you meant to write g(x) = 3.40x - 8, then g(-5) = -25
Answer:

Here,
denotes the required number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
denotes the required number that satisfies the following condition.
''seven times a number is less than or equal to a quantity that is 24 less than that same number''
Seven times a number is equal to 
Quantity that is 24 less than that same number is equal to 
Now find the inequality.
As seven times a number is less than or equal to a quantity that is 24 less than that same number,
