Let the Length of River D be : P

Given : River C is 100 Miles Longer than River D

⇒ Length of River C = P + 100

Given : The Sum of Both Rivers is 5570 Miles

⇒ P + (P + 100) = 5570

⇒ 2P + 100 = 5570

⇒ 2P = 5570 - 100

⇒ 2P = 5470

⇒ P = 2735

⇒ Length of River D is : 2735 Miles

⇒ Length of River C is : (P + 100) = (2735 + 100) = 2835 Miles

The polynomial below is a perfect square trinomial of the form A2 - 2AB + B2.

seropon [69]

Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial:

$16x^2-36x+9$

Observe that $16x^2$ and $9$ are perfect squares. Then, you can rewrite the polynomial in this form:

$(4x)^2-36x+(3)^2$

You can identify that:

$A=4\\B=3$

Then, we can check if $2AB=36$

$2(4x)(3)=36x\\\\24x\neq 36x\\\\2AB\neq36x$

Since $2AB\neq36x$ , the polynomial $16x^2-36x+9$ IS NOT a perfect square trinomial of the form $A^2 - 2AB + B^2$

Barbara drives between Miami, Florida, and West Palm Beach, Florida. She drives 50 mi in clear weather and then encounters a thu

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Her speed driving in nice weather is 50 mph and in thunderstorm is 32 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Barbara drives 50 miles in clear weather and then encounters a thunderstorm for the last 16 miles.

Suppose, her speed in nice weather is $x$ mph.

As she drives 18 mph slower through the thunderstorm than she does in clear weather, so her speed in thunderstorm will be: $(x-18) mph$

We know that, $Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}$

So, the time of driving in clear weather $=\frac{50}{x}$ hours

and the time of driving in thunderstorm $=\frac{16}{x-18}$ hours.

Given that, the total time for the trip is 1.5 hours. So, the equation will be......

$\frac{50}{x}+ \frac{16}{x-18}=1.5 \\ \\ \frac{50x-900+16x}{x(x-18)}=1.5\\ \\ \frac{66x-900}{x(x-18)}=1.5 \\ \\ 1.5x(x-18)=66x-900\\ \\ 1.5x^2-27x=66x-900\\ \\ 1.5x^2-93x+900=0\\ \\ 1.5(x^2 -62x+600)=0\\ \\ x^2 -62x+600=0\\ \\ (x-50)(x-12)=0$

Using zero-product property.........

$x-50=0\\ x=50\\ \\ and\\ \\ x-12=0\\ x=12$

We need to ignore $x=12$ here, otherwise the speed in thunderstorm will become negative.

So, her speed driving in nice weather is 50 mph and her speed driving in thunderstorm is (50-18) = 32 mph
