Answer:

d.  a = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

for which value of "a" will the trinomial be factorizable.

x^2+ax-40

For the expression to have integer factors, a = sum of the pairs of factors of -40.

-40 has following pairs of factors

{(1,-40), (2,-20, (4,-10), (5,-8), (8, -5), (10,-4), (20,-2), (40,-1) }

meaning that the possible values of a are

+/- 39, +/- 18, +/- 6, +/- 3

out of which only +39 appears on answer d.  a=39

The required diagram is attached in the picture below :

Answer:

15.05 miles

2 :09:12

5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

28/4/18:

Time : 1 :03 : 25

Fastest mile = 02 : 25

Distance = 15.05 miles

03/5/18:

Time : 2:06: 41

Fastest mile = 02 : 53

Distance = 28.70 miles

08/5/18:

Time : 2 :09:12

Fastest mile = 02 : 45

Distance = 26.39 miles2

1.) shortest distance cycled :

From the data:

15.05 < 26.39 < 28.70

Shortest distance cycled = 15.05 miles

The longest the cycled:

1 :03 : 25 < 2:06: 41 < 2 :09:12

Longest = 2 :09:12

Total cycling time :

1 :03 : 25 + 2:06: 41 + 2 :09:12

(1 + 2 + 2)= 5 hrs

(03 + 06+ 09) = 18 minutes

(25 + 41 + 12) = 78 seconds = 1 minute 18 seconds

18 minutes + 1 minute = 19 minutes

Total = 5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds

A truck can be rented from Company A for ​$70 a day plus ​$0.50 per mile. Company B charges ​$20 a day plus ​$0.60 per mile to r
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The rental cost for Company A and Company B will be the same after 500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of renting a truck from Company A can be expressed as;

Total rental cost(Company A)=Cost per day+Total rate

where;

Cost per day=70

Total rate=rate per mile×number of miles (m)=(0.5×m)=0.5 m

replacing;

Total rental cost(Company A)=70+0.5 m...equation 1

2. The total cost of renting a truck from Company B can be expressed as;

Total rental cost(Company B)=Cost per day+Total rate

where;

Cost per day=20

Total rate=rate per mile×number of miles (m)=(0.6×m)=0.6 m

replacing;

Total rental cost(Company B)=20+0.6 m...equation 2

Equating equation 1 to equation 2

70+0.5 m=20+0.6 m

0.6 m-0.5 m=70-20

0.1 m=50

m=50/0.1

m=500 miles

The rental cost for Company A and Company B will be the same after 500 miles
