The speed of the current in a river is 6mph. A ferry operator who works that part of the river is looking to buy a new boat for

her business. Every day, her route takes her 22.5 miles each way against the current and back to her dock, and she needs to make the trip in a total of 9 hours. She has a boat in mind, but she can only test it on a lake where there is no current at all. How fast must the boat go on the lake in order for it to serve the ferry operator's needs?

Cate wants to buy calzones and sodas for her friends she finds that when she buys two calzones and three sodas she pays $13 when
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The prices for a calzone and for soda as an ordered pair (c,s) is (5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be the prize of calazone

Let s be the prize of soda

She buys two calzones and three sodas she pays $13

So, 2c+3s=13

She buys three calzones and two sodas she pays $17

So, 3c+2s=17

Plot the equations on graph

2c+3s=13 --- Green

3c+2s=17 --- Blue

Intersection point will give the intersection point

So,(c,s)=(5,1)

So, Option c is correct

The prices for a calzone and for soda as an ordered pair (c,s) is (5,1)

Is (6,-10) a solution of y=3x-8
Vitek1552 [10]
You can easily test this if you know that (6, -10) corresponds to (X, Y). Knowing this, you can: 

X = 6
Y = -10

you put this into your equation:

-10 = 3*6 - 8

calculate it:

-10 = 18 - 8
-10 = 10
This is not true of course, -10 is not equal to 10. Therefore, (6, -10) is not a solution of y = 3x-8 :)

Find all the zeros of the function <br> g(x)=x^3-4x^2-x+22
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

x = -2, x = 3 − i√8, and x = 3 + i√8

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x³ − 4x² − x + 22

This is a cubic equation, so it must have either 1 or 3 real roots.

Using rational root theorem, we can check if any of those real roots are rational.  Possible rational roots are ±1, ±2, ±11, and ±22.

g(-1) = 18

g(1) = 18

g(-2) = 0

g(2) = 12

g(-11) = 1782

g(11) = 858

g(-22) = -12540

g(22) = 8712

We know -2 is a root.  The other two roots are irrational.  To find them, we must find the other factor of g(x).  We can do this using long division, or we can factor using grouping.

g(x) = x³ − 4x² − 12x + 11x + 22

g(x) = x (x² − 4x − 12) + 11 (x + 2)

g(x) = x (x − 6) (x + 2) + 11 (x + 2)

g(x) = (x (x − 6) + 11) (x + 2)

g(x) = (x² − 6x + 11) (x + 2)

x² − 6x + 11 = 0

Quadratic formula:

x = [ 6 ± √(36 − 4(1)(11)) ] / 2

x = (6 ± 2i√8) / 2

x = 3 ± i√8

The three roots are x = -2, x = 3 − i√8, and x = 3 + i√8.
