Maura drives to work, a distance of 30 miles in 40 minutes. she takes the same route to return home. if her average speed on the trip home is half as fast as her average speed on the trip to work, what is her average speed, in miles per hour, for the entire round trip

Well to solve this firstly we should calculate her average speed while she was going to work. Which comes out to be 45 miles per hour.

Now if her average speed while going home is half as fast as while coming to work was, the answer would be 22.5 miles per hour. So the average speed for the total journey would be the average for these two values. As the distance was same for both the journeys we can simply do 45 + 22.5 / 2 = 33.75 mph.

-232

step-by-step explanation:

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
