Answer:

Time taken by Doreen is 6 hours and speed is 10 miles per hour.

Time taken by Sue is 4 hours and speed is 20 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Doreen be x

According to the question  speed of Sue   is = x+10

time  taken By Sue to cover 80 miles = \frac{80}{x+10}

time taken by Doreen to travel 60 miles = \frac{60}{x}

According to question Sue take two hours less than Doreen takes

therefore

\frac{60}{x} - \frac{80}{x+10} =2

\frac{60(x+10)-80x}{x(x+10)} =2

60(x+10) -80x = 2(x(x+10)

60x+600-80x = 2x^2+20x\\

simplifying it ,we get

2x^2+40x-600=0\\

Dividing both sides by 2 ,we get

x^2+20x-300=0\\

solving it for x ,we get

(x+30)(x-10) =0

x =-30 which is not possible

x =10 miles per hour

Speed of Doreen = 10 miles per hour

Speed of Sue = 10+10 = 20 miles per hour

Time taken by Doreen = 60 divided by 10 = 6 hours

Time taken  by Sue = 80 divided by 20 = 4 hours

Find the measure of the numbered angle.
Mila [183]
The angle adjacent to angle 6 is the one we need to find first.  To do this, add the measures of the intercepted arcs and divide by 2.  60 + 50 = 110, and half of that is 55.  That means that both adjacent angles to the angle 6 are 55 (vertical angles are congruent).  The measure of all the angles added together is 360 and angle 6 is vertical to the other "sideways" angle, so they are congruent as well.  360 - 55 - 55 = 250.  Split that up between angle 6 and its vertical angle to get that each of those measure 125.  Angle 6 measures 125, choice b from above.

The polynomial of degree 4, P ( x ) , has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 1 and roots of multiplicity 1 at x = 0 and x = − 2 . I
ICE Princess25 [194]

We want to find a polynomial given that we know its roots and a point on the graph.

We will find the polynomial:

p(x) = (183/280)*(x - 1)*(x - 1)*(x + 2)*x

We know that for a polynomial with roots {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ} and a leading coefficient a, we can write the polynomial equation as:

p(x) = a*(x - x₁)*(x - x₂)...*(x - xₙ)

Here we know that the roots are:

  • x = 1 (two times)
  • x = 0
  • x = -2

Then the roots are: {1, 1, 0, -2}

We can write the polynomial as:

p(x) = a*(x - 1)*(x - 1)(x - 0)*(x - (-2))

p(x) = a*(x - 1)*(x - 1)*(x + 2)*x

We also know that this polynomial goes through the point (5, 336).

This means that:

p(5) = 336

Then we can solve:

336 = a*(5 - 1)*(5 - 1)*(5 + 2)*5

336 = a*(4)*(4)*(7)*5

336 = a*560

366/560 = a = 183/280

Then the polynomial is:

p(x) = (183/280)*(x - 1)*(x - 1)*(x + 2)*x

The answer is C, but I don't understand why- can anyone tell me?
finlep [7]

Answer:

It's C because we are adding a number on the x but here we skip 5 so it's 6, and on y we add 4 up but since we skipped 5 we add 8 and we get 24. 6, 24. You may say "but SpiritBear, 17 plus eight is 25" and that is true, but if you notice the lowest dot actually starts on 5, not 4 making C right.

Hope this helped and wasn't too confusing
