Answer:
(a)In the attachment
(b)The road of length 35.79 km should be built such that it joins the highway at 19.52km from the perpendicular point P.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)In the attachment
(b)The distance that enables the driver to reach the city in the shortest time is denoted by the Straight Line RM (from the Ranch to Point M)
First, let us determine length of line RM.
Using Pythagoras theorem
The Speed limit on the Road is 60 km/h and 110 km/h on the highway.
Time Taken = Distance/Time
Time taken on the road
Time taken on the highway
Total time taken to travel, T
Minimum time taken occurs when the derivative of T equals 0.
Square both sides
The road should be built such that it joins the highway at 19.52km from the point P.
In fact,
<h3>Answer: (a - 1)(2a² + a + 2)</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
Use the rational root theorem to determine this list of possible rational roots: 1, -1, 1/2, -1/2
Plug each possible root one at a time into the original expression given. If the simplified result is 0, then that possible root is an actual root.
If we tried say a = -1, then,
2a³-a²+a-2 = 2(-1)³-(-1)²+(-1)-2 = -6
The result is not zero, so a = -1 is not an actual root.
But if we tried say a = 1, then,
2a³-a²+a-2 = 2(1)³-1²+1-2 = 0
We get 0 so a = 1 is an actual root. I'll let you try the other values, but you should find that a = 1 is the only rational root.
Since a = 1 is a root, this makes (a-1) to be a factor.
From here, use either synthetic or polynomial long division to determine the other factor. Refer to the diagram below for each method.
Regardless of which method you pick, the quotient is 2a² + a + 2 which is the other factor needed. The remainder of 0 tells us we have (a-1) as a factor. For more information, check out the remainder theorem.
