Answer:

72.3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 1.4 + 1.25 = 4.65

336/4.65 = 72.3

you add up the time the trip took and then divide the number of miles by the time because it is miles per hour

Fraction 4/7 I want Decimal and Percent

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The decimal of 4/7, when rounded to the hundredths, is 0.57. The percentage of 4/7, when rounded to the nearest hundredths, is 57.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the decimal, you have to divide 4 by and you'll get your answer.

For the percentage, when rounded to the hundredths, you place the decimal two spots to the right (.57 turns into 57.14).

If 2(4x + 3)/(x - 3)(x + 7) = a/x - 3 + b/x + 7, find the values of a and b.

zmey [24]

Answer:

$a=3$ and $b=5$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

So I believe the problem is this:

$\frac{2(4x+3)}{x-3}(x+7)}=\frac{a}{x-3}+\frac{b}{x+7}$

where we are asked to find values for $a$ and $b$ such that the equation holds for any $x$ in the equation's domain.

So I'm actually going to get rid of any domain restrictions by multiplying both sides by (x-3)(x+7).

In other words this will clear the fractions.

$\frac{2(4x+3)}{x-3}(x+7)}\cdot(x-3)(x+7)=\frac{a}{x-3}\cdot(x-3)(x+7)+\frac{b}{x+7}(x-3)(x+7)$

$2(4x+3)=a(x+7)+b(x-3)$

As you can see there was some cancellation.

I'm going to plug in -7 for x because x+7 becomes 0 then.

$2(4\cdot -7+3)=a(-7+7)+b(-7-3)$

$2(-28+3)=a(0)+b(-10)$

$2(-25)=0-10b$

$-50=-10b$

Divide both sides by -10:

$\frac{-50}{-10}=b$

$5=b$

Now we have:

$2(4x+3)=a(x+7)+b(x-3)$ with $b=5$

I notice that x-3 is 0 when x=3. So I'm going to replace x with 3.

$2(4\cdot 3+3)=a(3+7)+b(3-3)$

$2(12+3)=a(10)+b(0)$

$2(15)=10a+0$

$30=10a$

Divide both sides by 10:

$\frac{30}{10}=a$

$3=a$

So $a=3$ and $b=5$ .

13, what is the probability that the coin lands on heads the first two times and lands on tales third

lozanna [386]

Answer: The probability is 1/8

Explanation:

Probability is a ratio of the number of relevant outcomes and total number of possible outcomes.

We are flipping the coin three times.

The number of relevant outcomes is 1 (one triple {Head, Head, Tail})

The number of all possible outcomes is the product of 2 possibilities (Head or Tail) on first toss, times another 2 on second, times another 2 on third, so 2^3 = 8.

The probability P = 1/8

Line AB contains points A (8, −4) and B (1, −5). The slope of line AB is....

shutvik [7]

Answer:

$The\ slope\ of\ the\ line\ AB\ is \frac{1}{7} .$

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for slope

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

As the Line AB contains points A (8, −4) and B (1, −5).

Put points value in the above

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

$m = \frac{- 5- (-4)}{1 - 8}$

$m = \frac{- 5 + 4}{1 - 8}$

$m = \frac{- 1}{-7}$

$m = \frac{1}{7}$

$Therefore\ the\ slope\ of\ the\ line\ AB\ is \frac{1}{7} .$

Since 4i is a root, that automatically means -4i is also a root (complex roots always travel in pairs) So the factored form would look like <span>(x+4i)(x−4i).</span> When multiplied out this gives the polynomial <span><span>x2</span>+<span>16.</span></span>
