Question 1156291: During the first 30 miles of city driving, you average 40 miles per hour. For the remainder of the trip, you drive on a highway at a constant rate of 85 miles per hour. Your average speed for the entire trip is given by
r(x) = (30 + x)/3/4+1/85x

where x is the number of miles you have driven on the highway.
(a) How far will you need to drive on the highway to bring your average speed up to 60 miles per hour?

Question 1161371: A water fountain jet shoots short spurts of water over a walkway. The water spurts reach a maximum height, then come down into a pond of water on the other side of the walkway. The height above the jet, h, of a spurt of water t seconds after leaving the jet can be found by the function h(t)= -16t^2d+20t. Find the time it takes for the spurt of water to return to the jet's height; that is, when h(t)=0.
