If the train had travelled 5km/h faster, the journey would have taken two hours less. Find the speed of the train travelling at the lower speed. \n" ); document.write( "*** \n" ); document.write( "let v=slower speed of trains \n" ); document.write( "v+5=faster speed of train \n" ); document.write( "travel time=distance/speed \n" ); document.write( ".. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "lcd:v(v+5) \n" ); document.write( "300v+1500-300v=2v(v+5) \n" ); document.write( "1500=2v^2+10v \n" ); document.write( "2v^2+10v-1500=0 \n" ); document.write( "v^2+5v-750=0 \n" ); document.write( "(v+30)(v-25)=0 \n" ); document.write( "v=25 \n" ); document.write( "lower speed of train=25 km/h \n" ); document.write( " |
