Given:
A space shuttle can travel at 28968 km/h.
To find:
The distance it can cover in 8 hrs.
Solution:
We have,
Speed of space shuttle = 28968 km/h.
So,
Distance covered by the space shuttle in 1 hour = 28968 km/h.
Distance covered by the space shuttle in 8 hour = (28968 × 8) km
= 231744 km
Therefore, the distance it can cover in 8 hrs is 231744 km.
If b>a, b-a=5 so b=5+a
ab=126, using b from above
a(5+a)=126
5a+a^2=126
a^2+5a-126=0
(a+14)(a-9)=0, since a<0 the numbers are
-14 and -9
bearing in mind that the average rate of change = slope, and for that we can simply use two points off the table.
D. is the answer since (-8)(-24)=192 and so does (-16)(-12)
