Coach trainer timed his athletes running 40 yard dash. the fastest time was 4.58 and the difference between the slowest and fastest time was 1.17 seconds. find the slowest time.

Slowest time of 40 yard dash coach recorded = 5.75 seconds.

Explanation:

Fastest time of 40 yard dash coach recorded = 4.58 seconds.

Difference between fastest and slowest time = 1.17 seconds.

Slowest time of 40 yard dash coach recorded =  Fastest time of 40 yard dash coach recorded +  Difference between fastest and slowest time

 Slowest time of 40 yard dash coach recorded = 4.58 + 1.17

                                             = 5.75 seconds.

So, slowest time = 5.75 seconds.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
