Answer:

520 people in 2 hours

rate = 260 people per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

change minutes to hours

15 minute* 1 hr/60 minutes = .25 hrs

65 people      x people

---------------  = ------------------

.25 hrs            2 hrs


using cross products

65 * 2 = .25 * x

130 = .25x

divide by .25

130/.25 = .25x/.25

520 =x

520 people

65 people      x people

---------------  = ------------------

.25 hrs            1 hrs

using cross products

65 = .25x

divide by .25

65/.25 = .25x/.25

260 =x

260 people in 1 hour

rate = 260 people per hour

Find a third-degree polynomial function with real coefficients and with zeros at -4 and -3 5i
Charra [1.4K]

If -3+5i is a solution, then by the conjugate root theorem, -3-5i is also a solution. We find the polynomial by multiplying together the factors. If x = -4, then x + 4 is the factor. If x = -3+5i, then (x-(-3+5i)) is a factor, and so is (x-(-3-5i)). Simplifying those down gives us as the first factor as (x+3-5i) and the second as (x+3+5i). We can FOIL those 2 together to get their product, and then FOIL in x+4. FOILing the 2 complex factors together gives us x^2+3x+15ix+3x+9+15i-15ix-15i-25i^2. If we combine like terms and cross out things that cancel it's much easier than what it looks like there! It simplifies down to x^2+6x-25i^2. Since i^2 = -1, it simplifies further to x^2+6x-25(-1) and finally, to x^2+6x+25. Now we will FOIL in x+4. (x^2+6x+25)(x+4)=x^3+6x^2+25x+4x^2+24x+100. Our final simplified third degree polynomial is x^3+10x^2+49x+100

determine the length of a chord whose central angle is 75° in the circle with the radius of 12 inches. ​
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

other two sides joining center to the ends of chord=radius of circle=12 in

using cosine formula

cos A=\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc} \\2bc cos~A=b^2+c^2-a^2\\\angle A=75^\circ\\b=c=r=12~in\\2*12*12~cos~75=12^2+12^2-a^2\\a^2=2*12^2-2*12^2 cos ~75\\a^2=2*12^2(1-cos 75)\\a=12\sqrt{2(1-cos~75)} \approx 14.6~inches
