Use the formula speed=distance/time, or s=d/t.
Substitute 2,482 for d and 42.5 for t.
s=2,482/42.5
Simply divide for the answer:
Mr. Douglas' average speed for the trip was 58.4 miles per hour.
I hope this helps! ^_^
If the scale factor is greater than one the triangle will be enlarged. If the scale factor is between o and 1 the triangle will be smaller.
X = 15 , see photo for solutions
Because of the relatively large coefficients {9, 42, 49}, applying the quadratic formula would be a bit messy. Instead, I've chosen to "complete the square:"
9x^2 + 42x + 49 = 0 can be re-written as 9 [ x^2 + (42/9)x ] = -49
Dividing both sides by 9, we get [ x^2 + (42/9)x ] = - 49/9
Completing the square: [ x^2 + (42/9)x + (21/9)^2 - (21/9)^2 ] = -49/9
[ x + 21/9 ]^2 = 441/81 - 441/81 = 0
Then [ x + 21/9 ] = 0, and x = -21/9 (this is a double root).
