Correct question is;
The function f(x) = 6x + 8 represents the distance run by a cheetah in miles. The function g(x) = x − 2 represents the time the cheetah ran in hours. Solve (f/g)(3), and interpret the answer.
Answer:
26 is the cheetahs rate in miles per hour.
Explanation:
We are given;
f(x) = 6x + 8
g(x) = x − 2
Thus;
f/g = f(x)/g(x)
> (6x + 8)/(x − 2)
Since we are looking for (f/g)(3), then we have;
> (6(3) + 8)/((3) − 2) = 26
Since f(x) is distance and g(x) is time, then, we know that distance/time = speed. Thus, the interpretation is 26 mph which is the speed of the cheetah.
