Hi Chuck, 

The adjective 'rapide' is the same in its masculine and feminine form, like efficace, impeccable, remarquable, tacite ...

Suggest "rapide" is valid to describe both grammatical genders of a singular noun.

as an adjective it is spelt « rapide » regardless of it relating to a masculine or feminine noun

Pourquoi est-ce "un coup d'œil rapide," et non "un coup d'œil rapid?"
