Jessica traveled to Portland by car. Going there took 3 hours, and the return trip lasted 6 hours. Jessica averaged a speed of 4

Answer:

The average speed of the trip there is <u>86 mph.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken to reach Portland = 3 hours

Time taken to come beck from Portland = 6 hours

Average speed for the returning trip = 43 mph

Distance traveled for the returning trip can be obtained by multiplying the returning speed by returning time. Therefore, distance for returning trip is:

D=speed\times time=43\times 6=258\ miles

Now, distance traveled for the return trip is same as going to the trip.

So, distance traveled by Jessica going to Portland = 258 miles.

Time taken to go there = 3 hours

Therefore, speed of the trip there is given as the ratio of distance and time and is given as:

\textrm{Average speed}=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\textrm{Average speed}=\frac{258}{3}=86\ mph

Therefore, the average speed of Jessica's car to go to Portland is 86 mph.

Which is the equation of a parabola with a directrix at y = −3 and a focus at (5, 3)?
kramer

Answer:

y = 1/12 (x − 5)²

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this graphically without doing calculations.

The y component of the focus is y = 3.  Since this is above the directrix, we know this is an upward facing parabola, so it must have a positive coefficient.  That narrows the possible answers to A and C.

The x component of the focus is x = 5.  Since this is above the vertex, we know the x component of the vertex is also x = 5.

So the answer is A. y = 1/12 (x−5)².

But let's say this wasn't a multiple choice question and we needed to do calculations.  The equation of a parabola is:

y = 1/(4p) (x − h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex and p is the distance from the vertex to the focus.

The vertex is halfway between the focus and the directrix.  So p is half the difference of the y components:

p = (3 − (-3)) / 2

p = 3

k, the y component of the vertex, is the average:

k = (3 + (-3)) / 2

k = 0

And h, the x component of the vertex, is the same as the focus:

h = 5

So:

y = 1/(4×3) (x − 5)² + 0

y = 1/12 (x − 5)²

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The Remainder theorem states that if f(x) is divided by (x - h) then

f(h) is the remainder, thus

division by (x - 1) then h = 1

f(1) = 4(1)³ - 7(1)² - 2(1) + 6

     = 4 - 7 - 2 + 6 = 1 ← remainder

The factor theorem states that if (x - h) is a factor of f(x), then f(h) = 0

Here f(1) = 1

Hence (x - 1) is not a factor of f(x)
