A) time = distance/speed
For the first half of the trip, the time used was
.. (1 mi)/(12 mi/h) = (1/12) h = 5 minutes
Then the last half of the trip took 10 minutes, 1/6 hour.
.. speed = distance/time
.. = (1 mi)/(1/6 h) = 6 mi/h

The speed for the last half of the trip was 6 mph.


b) The average speed was
.. (2 mi)/(1/4 h) = 8 mi/h

Ling's average speed was 8 mph.

Write a polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros include those listed. Write the polynomial in s
wolverine [178]

Answer:

x^4 - 14x^2 - 40x - 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

As complex roots exist in conjugate pairs the other zero is -1 - 2i.

So in factor form we have the polynomial function:

(x - 5)(x + 3)(x - (-1 + 2i))(x - (-1 - 2i)

= (x - 5)(x + 3)( x + 1 - 2i)(x +1 + 2i)

The first 2 factors  = x^2 - 2x - 15 and

( x + 1 - 2i)(x +1 + 2i) = x^2 + x + 2ix + x + 1 + 2i - 2ix - 2i - 4 i^2

=  x^2 + 2x + 1 + 4

= x^2 + 2x + 5.

So in standard form we have:

(x^2 - 2x - 15 )(x^2 + 2x + 5)

= x^4  + 2x^3 + 5x^2 - 2x^3 - 4x^2 - 10x - 15x^2 - 30x - 75

= x^4 - 14x^2 - 40x - 75.
