You have to find a number that can go into both numerator and denominator evenly.

Driving to your friend's house, you travel at an average rate of 35 miles per hour. On your way home, you travel at an average r

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

14 miles

Explanation:

The relation that will be used to solve this problem is:

$Distance = Velocity*Time$

which can be rewritten as:

$Time = \frac{Distance}{Velocity}$

Assume that:

Distance from your house to your friend's house is d

Time taken from your house to your friend's house is t₁

Time taken from your friends house to your house is t₂

1- From your house to your friend's house:

Average rate = 35 miles/hour

Therefore:

$t_{1} = \frac{d}{35}$

2- From your friend's house to your house:

Average rate = 40 miles per hour

Therefore:

$t_{2} = \frac{d}{40}$

3- Round trip:

We know that the round trip took 45 minutes which is equivalent to 0.75 hours

This means that:

t₁ + t₂ = 0.75 hours

$\frac{d}{35}+\frac{d}{40}=0.75\\ \\\frac{40d + 35d}{1400}=0.75\\ \\\frac{75d}{1400}=0.75\\ \\ 1050 = 75d\\ d=14 miles$

Hope this helps :)

Find the complete factored form of the polynomial -24a6b4-40a3

Naddik [55]

For this case we have the following polynomial:

$-24a ^ 6b ^ 4-40a ^ 3$

We must find the greatest common factor of the terms of the polynomial.

The GCF of the coefficients is given by:

$24 = 3 * 8\\40 = 5 * 8$

Then we look for the GFC of the variables:

We have then:

$a ^ 6 = a ^ 3a ^ 3\\a ^ 3 = a ^ 3$

Finally rewriting we have: $-24a ^ 6b ^ 4-40a ^ 3 = -8a ^ 3 (3a ^ 3b ^ 4 + 5)$

Answer:

the complete factored form of the polynomial is:

$-8a ^ 3 (3a ^ 3b ^ 4 + 5)$
