1 yard = 3 feet
1 mile = 5,280 feet
So, 1 mile = 5,280/3 yards = 1760 yards
To find Ken's speed divide total distance by total time:
174 miles / 3 hours = 58 miles per hour.
In the equation for Brenda, the 57 is the miles per hour because you would multiply that by x ( hours) to get total miles (y).
Ken had the faster driving speed.
When you take the absolute value of this equation, the answer should actually be 3.
You should solve the what’s inside first. If the answer is negative, then the absolute value will make it positive.
For example
|1-5|=|-4|=4
Let's solve this by using the quadratic formula:
Note that we only use the coefficients so a=12, b=-14, and c=-6.
Plug values in the quadratic equation:
And so by evaluating those values we obtain:
Now we have two answers which are our factors one where we add another where we subtract and so:
First factor:
Second Factor:
And so your factors are
meaning that those are your roots/x-intercepts.
