We have been given that the upstream speed is $5 mph$ and the down stream speed is $10mph$ .

Let the fisherman traveled a distance of x miles.

The total time of the trip is 6 hours.

Relations between speed (s), time (t) and distance (d) is $s = \frac{d}{t}$

Hence, $t= \frac{d}{s}$

Time upstream + time downstream = 6

$\frac{x}{5} +\frac{x}{10} =6$

lcm = 10

$\frac{2x+x}{10} =6$

=> $\frac{3x}{10} =6$

Cross multiplying, $3x= 60$

x = 20 miles .. Answer.

For the polynomial function ƒ(x) = x4 −25x2, find the zeros. Then determine the multiplicity at each zero and state whether the

AfilCa [17]

<u>ANSWER</u>

The zeros are $x=-5,x=0,x=5$

EXPLANATION

Given;

$f(x)=x^4-25x^2$ .

We can rewrite the function as

$f(x)=x^2(x^2-25)$

$\Rightarrow f(x)=x^2(x^2-5^2)$

$\Rightarrow f(x)=x^2(x-5)(x+5)$

The zeros are found by equating the function to zero.

$\Rightarrow x^2(x-5)(x+5)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-5)=0$

The multiplicity is 1, since it is odd the graph crosses at this intercept. which is $x=5$

Or

$\Rightarrow (x+5)=0$

The multiplicity is 1, since it is odd the graph crosses at this intercept. which is $x=-5$

Or

$\Rightarrow x^2=0$

This last root has a multiplicity of 2.

That is

$x=0$ repeats two times.

Since the multiplicity is even, the graph touches the x-axis at the point $x=0$ .

Answer:

$31\:\text{square units}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break the composite figure into two triangles and two trapezoids. The area of a triangle is given by $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$ and the area of a trapezoid is given by $A=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot h$ (average of the bases multiplied by the height).

Area of first triangle (larger triangle to the figure's left): $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 4\cdot 4=8$

Area of second triangle (smaller triangle to the figure's right ): $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2\cdot 5=5$

Area of first trapezoid (smaller trapezoid directly underneath second triangle and adjacent to both triangles): $4\cdot 2 =8$

Area of first triangle (larger triangle to the figure's left): $5\cdot 2=10$

Thus, the area of the entire figure is:

$8+5+8+10=\boxed{31\:\mathrm{units^2}}$
