21PRACTICE PROBLEM
A cyclist covers a distance of kilometers in a time that is seconds less than the standard time. Using the function , that gives the cyclist's speed (in meters per second) as a function of , where is the number of seconds more or less than the standard time for kilometers, calculate the cyclist's average speed.
