Step-by-step explanation:
First write out the equation
x² - x - 20
Now we now write the equation by equating to 0
x² - x - 20 = 0
We now move 20 to the other side of the equation. So
x² - x = 20,
We now add to both side of the equation square of the half the coefficient of the (x) and not (x²) which is (1) . So, the equation now becomes
x² - x + ( ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ( ¹/₂ )²
x² - ( ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ¹/₄
( x - ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ¹/₄, we now resolve the right hand side expression into fraction
( x - ¹/₂ )² = ⁸¹/₄ when the LCM is made 4
Taking the square root of both side to remove the square,we now have
x - ¹/₂ = √⁸¹/₄
x - ¹/₂ = √⁸¹/₂
Therefore,
x = ¹/₂ ± √⁸¹

Answer:
48 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the distance from Elkhart to Chicago. Toledo to Elkhart is 136 miles and Toledo to Chicago 244 miles.
So the distance from Elkhart to Chicago can be calculated, since Chicago is farther from Toledo than Elkhart, as: distance(Toledo to Chicago) - distance(Toledo to Elkhart). These distances are given in the problem, so the distance from Elkhat to Chicago is: 244 miles - 136 miles = 108 miles.
This problem basically wants to know the slowest you can be yet still ariving on time. If you are the minimum speed, you will arrive in Chicago exactly at 10:30 A.M. So you have 2 hours and 15 minutes(10:30 A.M - 8.15A.M.) to drive 108 miles.
15 minutes is a fourth of a hour, so you have 2.25hours to go through 108 miles.
The minimum speed you must maintain is 108mph/2.25h = 48mph.
To solve this question, we use the factor theorem, and using it, the polynomial function is:

------------------------------
The factor theorem means that if k is a root of f(x), f(k) = 0.
Thus, applying the factor theorem for this question, we have to choose the function for which: 
------------------------------
Function 1:

Testing the values:



Thus, since all three conditions are satisfied,
is the polynomial function.
