Answer:
Option 2nd is correct
[tex]xy = 300[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using formula:
[tex]\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \cdot \text{Time}[/tex]
Here, y represents the time traveled (in hours) and x represents the average speed (in miles per hour).
Given the statement:
The Jones family plans a 300 mile trip
⇒ [tex]\text{Distance} = 300[/tex] miles
Using formula we get;
[tex]300 x \cdot y[/tex]
⇒[tex]xy = 300[/tex]
therefore, the equation for the rectangular hyperbola that expresses the relationship between time traveled (y) and average speed (x) is :
[tex]xy = 300[/tex]
