Solution
2. Let the walking speed = x mph
The running speed is 6 mph more than walking speed.
So running speed = (x+6) mph
The time taken to walk 1 mile = 1/x hrs
The time taken to run 5 miles = 5/(x+6) hrs
Yesterday Batman took 45 minutes to run 5 miles and walk 1 mile
The time in hours = 45/60 = 3/4
So 1/x + 5/(x+6) = 3/4
((x+6) + 5x) / x(x+6) = 3/4
(6x+6)/(x^2 + 6x) = 3/4
4(6x+6) = 3(x^2+6x)
24x + 24 = 3x^2 + 18x
3x^2 - 6x - 24 = 0
x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0
Factorising
x^2 - 4x + 2x -8 = 0
x(x - 4) + 2(x-4)
(x+2)(x-4) = 0
x= -2 or x= 4
Since speed can not be negative x = 4
Walking speed is 4 mph
Running speed = 4 + 6 = 10mph
3 f(x) = (3x^2+1) / (2x^2-7x-4)
Factorising denominator as shown
2x^2 + x - 8x -4
x(2x+1) - 4(2x+1)
(x-4)(2x+1)
If the denominator is equal to zero for the function will not be valid
(x-4)(2x+1) = 0
x = 4 or x = -1/2
The numbers to be excluded from the domain of the function ar x = 4 and x = -1/2
The domain is {x: x nor eaual to 4 and x not equal to -1/2)
4. The Quadratic equation for solution set {-3/5, -1/2} is
(x+3/5)(x+1/2) = 0
x^2 + (1/2)x + (3/5)x + 3/10 = 0
x^2 + x/2 + 3x/5 + 3/10 = 0
x^2 + (5x+6x)/10 + 3/10
x^2 = 11x/10 + 3/10 = 0
Multiplying both sides with 10 the equation is
10x^2 + 11x+ 3 = 0
5)
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
1/ R1 = 1/R - 1/R2
1/R1 = (R2 – R)/R*R2
R1 = R*R2 / (R2 – R)
