You can put this solution on YOUR website! A car goes from station A to station B with speed v1, and returns from B to A with speed v2. Station A is a distance d from station B.
a. Determine the total time t, for the trip. (Express your answer in terms of v1, v2 and d)
Avg speed for the trip is 2*v1*v2/(v1+v2)
t = 2d/Avg speed.
