Answer:

3mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Boat speed x

current speed 2

against current x-2 mph

with current x+ 2 mph

Distance= 5 miles

Time against + time with = 6 hours

5 /( x + 2 ) + 5 /(x - 2 ) = 6

LCD = (x - 2 ) ( x + 2 )

5 *( x - 2 ) + 5 (x + 2 ) = 6

5 x - 10 + 5 x + 10 = 6 ( x ^2 - 4 )

10 x = 6 x ^2 - 24

6 x ^2 - -10 x - 24

Find the roots of the equation by quadratic formula

a= 6 , b= -10 , c= -24

b^2-4ac= 100 + 576

b^2-4ac=676

x1=(10+26)/12

x1=3

x2=(10-26)/12

x2= -1.33

Ignore negative value

Speed of boat is 3 mph

Answer:

B. No, the remainder is -50.

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Roots are when the polynomial are equal to 0

<u>Algebra II</u>

  • Synthetic Division

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Function f(x) = x³ - 10x² + 27x - 12

Divisor/Root (x + 1)

<u>Step 2: Synthetic Division</u>

<em>See Attachment.</em>

To determine whether a given root is an actual root, the remainder must equal 0. Since we have a remainder of -50, the given root is not a factor of the polynomial.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

a difference of squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write down the expression:

(a^2)^2 -(b^2)^2

we can see that this expression is one of the form x^2 -y^2 which is the general expression of a difference of squares.

To be more specific and to see why we say this, let's make x=a^2 and y=b^2

Now, if we substitute this in the general formula, we get:

x^2 -y^2 =(a^2)^2 -(b^2)^2

Thus, this expression is a difference of squares.
