Answer:the minimum rate is 1 mile per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chanita wants to swim the 21-mile English Channel in 48 hours. Total number of miles that she covered on the first day is 9 miles. Total distance left for her to cover would be

21 - 9 =12 miles.

The next day, she has 12 hours of daylight to complete the remaining distance. Let x represent the minimum rate she has to swim on the second day to complete the distance.

Speed = distance/time

Therefore,

x ≥ 12/12

x ≥ 1

First let's define variables:
 r: reading
 s: skimming
 We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
 r + s = 275
 (15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
 We solve the system of equations:
 r = 206
 s = 69
 Note: see attached image for system solution.
 Answer: 
 Jayden had to skim 69 pages through

X² = 17

To simplify this, you need to find the square root of x², which is x, and the square root of 17.

x = √17
Also remember that when you are using square root, the answer can be either positive or negative.

x = +/-√17 ≈ +/- 4.12

To use Long Division of Polynomials to verify that x = a/b is a zero on a polynomial function P(x), the divisor would be
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

  D)  bx - a

Step-by-step explanation:

If a/b is a zero, then (x -a/b) is a factor of the polynomial. That is, the value x=a/b will make a factor of the polynomial be zero.

The above factor can be written without fractions by multiplying it by b:

  (bx -a) . . . . matches choice D

__

You can also choose the answer on the basis of which expression becomes zero when x=a/b.
