Answer:

  • walking: 1.5 mph
  • jogging: 3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent Felipe's walking speed in miles per hour. Then his total travel time is ...

  time = distance/speed

  3 = 3/w +3/(w+1.5) . . . . . total time is the sum of walking and jogging times

  1 = 1/w +1/(w +1.5) . . . . . divide by 3

  w(w +1.5) = (w+1.5) +w . . . . multiply by w(w+1.5)

  w^2 -0.5w -1.5 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 2w+1.5

  (w -1.5)(w +1) = 0 . . . . . . . factor

The values of w that make this equation true are w = 1.5 and w = -1. Only the value 1.5 makes any sense in this scenario. Felipe's jogging speed is then 1.5+1.5 = 3 mph.

Felipe walks at 1.5 mph and jogs at 3 mph.

Please help Which of the following inequalities is graphed on the coordinate plane?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The inequality which represents the graph is y ≤ -2x + 1 ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question you must know some facts about inequalities

  • If the sign of inequality is ≥ or ≤, then it represents graphically by a solid line
  • If the sign of inequality is > or <, then it represents graphically by a dashed line
  • If the sign of inequality is > or ≥, then the area of the solutions should be over the line
  • If the sign of inequality is < or ≤, then the area of the solutions should be below the line

Let us study the graph and find the correct answer

∵ The line represented the inequality is solid

∴ The sign of inequality is ≥ or ≤

→ That means the answer is A or B

∵ The shaded area is the area of the solutions of the inequality

∵ The shaded area is below the line

∴ The sign of inequality must be ≤

→ That means the correct answer is A

∴ The inequality which represents the graph is y ≤ -2x + 1
