Speed was increased 20% to 48 mph. What was the speed before the increase

Mathematics
1 answer:
grigory [225]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

40 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed increased by 20%, now the speed is 120% of the original speed.

48 mph is 120%, so dividing by 6 will get 8 which is 20%.

If 8 is 20%, you can multiply it by 5 to get 40, which is 100%. This means 40 mph is the original speed.

Hope this helps!

Hello:) anyone able to explain how to solve the equestrian for part (d) ? Thank youu
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4a^{4} - 5a² + 1 = 0

Use the substitution u = a², then equation is

4u²  - 5u + 1 = 0

Consider the product of the coefficient of the u² term and the constant term

product = 4 × 1 = 4 and sum = - 5

The factors are - 4 and - 1

Use these factors to split the u- term

4u² - 4u - u + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

4u(u - 1) - 1(u - 1) = 0 ← factor out (u - 1) from each term

(u - 1)(4u - 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for u

u - 1 = 0 ⇒ u = 1

4u - 1 = 0 ⇒ 4u = 1 ⇒ u = \frac{1}{4}

Convert u back into terms of a, that is

a² = 1 ⇒ a = ± 1

a² = \frac{1}{4} ⇒ a = ± \frac{1}{2}

Solutions are a = ± 1 , a = ± \frac{1}{2}
