At 9:00 on Saturday morning, two bicyclists heading in opposite directions pass each other on a bicycle path. The bicyclist head

ing north is riding 6 km/hour faster than the bicyclist heading south. At 10:15, they are 42.5 km apart. Find the two bicyclists' rates
A. Northbound bicyclist= 20 km/h; southbound bicyclist= 14 km/h
B. Northbound=20 km/h; southbound= 11km/h
C. Northbound= 23 km/h; southbound= 17km/h
D. Northbound= 20km/h; southbound= 13 km/h

So it took an hour an 15 minutes which means the distance traveled is their speed+1/4 of their speed, also any answers that have northbound going faster than 6km/h above south is not right so B and D seems to be out of the picture

Answer:

(A) Northbound bicyclist=20 km/hr, southbound bicyclist=14 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total time taken is= 1 hour 15 min=1.25 hours. Let the distance traveled by bicyclist heading in the south direction is represented by D_{S} and the distance traveled by the bicyclist heading in north direction be D_{N}, then according to question D_{N}+D_{S}=42.5km.                                                                                                  (1)

Therefore, using speed= \frac{Distance}{time},

Distance traveled by bicyclist heading in the south direction isD_{S} = speed × time= 1.25×S, where S is the speed of the bicyclist heading in south........(2)

Since, The bicyclist heading in north direction is 6km/hr faster than the bicyclist heading in south direction, therefore,

Speed of bicyclist heading in north direction will be, N=S+6...........(3)

Let the distance travelled by the bicyclist heading in north direction is represented as D_{N}.

Therefore, D_{N}= 1.25N

=1.25(S+6)

=1.25S+ 7.5                                                                                           (4)

Now, subtracting (2) from (4), we have

D_{N}-D_{S}=1.25S+7.5-1.25S

D_{N}-D_{S}=7.5                                                      (5)

Now, from equation (1), we have D_{N}+D_{S}=42.5, solving equation (1) and equation (5), we get D_{N}=25km.

Now, substituting this value of D_{N} in equation (1),

D_{N}+D_{S}=42.5

D_{S}=42.5-25.0

D_{S}=17.5km

Now,speed of the bicyclist heading in north direction will be: \frac{Distance}{Time}

=\frac{25}{1.25}

=20km/hr

Also, Speed of bicyclist heading in south direction=\frac{17.5}{1.25}

=14km/hr

Form a polynomial f(x) with real coefficients having the given degree and zeros.
dimaraw [331]
There are many polynomials that fit the bill,
f(x)=a(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)(x-r4)  where a is any real number not equal to zero.
A simple one is when a=1.
where r1,r2,r3,r4 are the roots of the 4th degree polynomial.
Also note that for a polynomial with *real* coefficients, complex roots *always* come in conjugages, i.e. in the form a±bi  [±=+/-]

So a polynomial would be:
f(x)=(x-(-4-5i))(x-(-4+5i))(x--2)(x--2)
or, simplifying
f(x)=(x+4+5i)(x+4-5i)(x+2)^2
=x^4+12x^3+77x^2+196x+164   [if you decide to expand]

How much money will be in a bank account after 4 years if $8 is deposited at an interest rate of 5%?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

$9.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above is a simple interest question.

The formula for the amount of money after a given period of time using simple interest is given as:

A = P(1 + rt)

Where

P = Initial Amount saved or invested = $8

R = Interest rate = 5%

t = Time in years = 4

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 5%/100 = 0.05 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 8(1 + (0.05 × 4)) = 9.6

A = $9.60

The amount of money that will be in a bank account after 4 years is $9.60
