Question

A truck traveled 6x^3 + x^2 + 20x - 11 miles in 2x - 1 hours. At what rate did the semi-truck travel?

a) 3x^2 + 2x + 20
b) 3x^2 + 2x + 11
c) 3x^3 + x + 20
d) 3x^2 + x^2 + 20x

Answer 1

To find the rate at which the truck traveled, divide the distance traveled by the time taken, which is (6x^3 + x^2 + 20x - 11) / (2x - 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate at which the truck traveled, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken. The distance traveled is given by the expression 6x^3 + x^2 + 20x - 11 miles, and the time taken is given by the expression 2x - 1 hours. Dividing the distance by the time will give us the rate of travel.

Therefore, the rate at which the semi-truck traveled is (6x^3 + x^2 + 20x - 11) / (2x - 1). This expression cannot be simplified further.
