Answer:

2.33 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Veteran Tutor

Charges = \$15 --- first session

Hourly\ Rate = \$60

College Graduate

Charges = \$45 --- first session

Hourly\ Rate = \$50

Required

Determine the number of hours they earn the same amount

Represent the hours with x

First, we need to calculate the total charges for the veteran tutor for x hours;

Total = 15 + 60x

Next, we need to calculate the total charges for the college graduate tutor for x hours;

Total = 45x + 50

For them to earn the same amount, we have:

15 + 60x = 45x + 50

Solving for x

60x - 45x = 50 - 15

15x = 35

Divide through by 15

x = \frac{35}{15}

x = 2.33\ hours

In the xy-plane, the graph of function f(x) has zeros at −5, −2, and 2. Write the polynomial function.
Alona [7]

Answer:

f(x) = x^3 +5x^2-4x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Zeros: -5,-2,2

Required

The polynomial function

If a function has a, b and c as its zeros, the function is:

f(x) = (x - a)(x - b)(x - c)

So, we have:

Zeros: -5,-2,2

f(x) = (x - (-5))(x - (-2))(x - 2)

Open the inner brackets

f(x) = (x +5)(x +2)(x - 2)

Expand the difference of two squares

f(x) = (x +5)(x^2 - 4)

Expand

f(x) = x^3 +5x^2-4x-20
