We are asked to find speed in mph: ν is the speed in mph, Δν=7.4 mph, t1 is the time to go one mile with speed equal to ν, t2 is the time to go one mile with speed equal to ν+Δν: (1/ν)-(1/(ν+Δν))=15s=0.004167 hours, (1/ν)-(1/(ν+7.4 mph))=0.004167 ν+7.4 mph-ν=0.004167ν(ν+7.4) 0.004167ν²+7.4*0.004167ν-7.4=0 ν=38.603 mph ν=-46.003 mph←isn't realistic Answer:ν=38.603 mph
