Sarah wants to arrive at her friend's wedding at 3:00. The distance from Sarah's house to the wedding is 97 miles. Based on usual traffic patterns, Sarah predicts she can drive the first 20 miles at 30 miles per hour, the next
12 miles at 45miles per hour and the remainder of the drive 65 miles per hour.

First, you need to remember the relation:

speed = distance/time

We know that she needs to arrive at her friend's wedding at 3:00.

We also know that the total distance between her house and the wedding is 97 miles.

Now we need to find the total time that she needs to arrive at the wedding, so we can estimate at which hour she needs to start the travel.

The first 20 miles are driven att 30 miles per hour.

Then:

distance = 20mi

speed = 30mi/h

30mi/h = 20mi/T

T = 20mi/(30mi/h) = 0.67 hours.

The next 12 miles are driven at 45 mi/h

then:

45mi/h = 12mi/T

T = (12mi/(45mi/h)) = 0.27 hours

And the remainder distance is traveled at 65 mi/h

First, at this point she did travel 20mi + 12mi = 32mi

And we know that the total distance was 97mi, then the remaining distance is:

97mi - 32mi = 65mi

Then now she travels 65 miles at the speed of 65mi/h

then:

65mi/h = 65mi/(T)

T = (65mi)/(65mi/h) = 1 hour

Then the total time needed for the travel is:

Time =  0.67 hours + 0.27 hours + 1 hour = 1.94 hours.

knowing that 1 hour = 60 min

0.94 hours = 0.94*(60 min) = 56.4 min

time = 1 hour and 56.4 min

Meaning that she needs to leave her house around two hours before 3:00

So she would need to leave her house at around 1:03

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
