4 hours

using the formula

distance = speed × time (t)

the Ford will have travelled 3 × 40 = 120 miles before the Chevy leaves

the Ford's distance can be modelled as

distance = 40t + 120

the Chevy's distance can be modelled as

distance = 70t

equating the right sides and solve for t

70 t = 40t + 120 ( subtract 40t from both sides )

30t = 120 ( divide both sides by 30 )

t = 4

the Chevy catches up with the Ford after 4 hours

A third-degree polynomial function f has real zeros -2, ½, and 3, and its leading coefficient negative. Write an equation for f.
Rom4ik [11]
F(x) = k(x+2)(2x-1)(x-3), where k is some constant
= k(2x^3-3x^2-11x+6)
= k(-2x^3+3x^2+11x-6)

k defines some vertical stretch, so there are an infinitely many solutions for f(x).

Oscar is landscaping his yard. He is putting mulch in the flower beds to help minimize weeds. He has 4 1/4 bags of mulch in his
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

c) 300.9 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

He has 4 1/4 bags of mulch in his shed to use. Each bag of mulch will cover 70.8 ft².

Hence:

1 bag of mulch = 70.8ft²

4 1/4 bags of mulch = x ft²

Cross Multiply

1 bag × x ft² = 4 1/4 × 70.8

x ft² = 4 1/4 × 70.8/1

x = 300.9 ft²

Option c is correct.
