Find the speed of the train if an increase of 6kph lowers the time for a journey of 72km by 10 minutes. (Show Your Solution)
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "let speed =x mph
\n" ); document.write( "increase speed = x+12
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "time = d/r
\n" ); document.write( "original time - increased speed time = 1/6 hours
\n" ); document.write( "\"72%2Fx-%2872%2F%28x%2B12%29%29=+1%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "LCD = x(x+12)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "\"864=+%28x%28x%2B12%29%29%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "6*864=x^2+12x
\n" ); document.write( "5184=x^2+12
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+12x-5184 =0
\n" ); document.write( "solve using quadratic formula
\n" ); document.write( "a=1, b= 12,c=-5184
\n" ); document.write( "b^2-4ac=20880
\n" ); document.write( "you will get the speed = 66.24 kph
