Answer:

It is a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

[x³ -7x² + 8x + 16] ÷ (x + 1)

[x³ + x² - 8x² - 8x + 16x + 16] ÷ (x + 1)

[x²(x + 1) - 8x(x + 1) + 16(x + 1)] ÷ (x + 1)

x² - 8x + 16 and tye remainder is 0.

So, yes (x + 1) is a factor

A submarine left Diego Garcia five hours before a cruise ship. The ships traveled in opposite directions. The cruise ship travel

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The speed of the submarine is 15.429 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that both ships travel at constant velocities. As we know that both travel in opposite directions, it is supposed that cruise ship moves in +x direction, whereas submarine in -x direction. Kinematic equations for each sheep are described below:

Ship

$x_{Sh} = x_{o} + v_{Sh}\cdot t$

Submarine

$x_{Su} = x_{o}+v_{Su}\cdot t$

Where:

$x_{o}$ - Position of Diego Garcia island, measured in miles.

$x_{Sh}$ , $x_{Su}$ - Current positions of ship and submarine, measured in miles.

$v_{Sh}$ , $v_{Su}$ - Velocities of ship and submarine, measured in miles per hour.

$t$ - TIme, measured in hours.

If we know that $x_{Sh} - x_{Su} = 241\,mi$ , $v_{Sh} = 19\,\frac{mi}{h}$ and $t = 7\,h$ , then:

$x_{Sh} - x_{Su} = (v_{Sh}-v_{Su})\cdot t$

We clear now the velocity of submarine:

$\frac{x_{Sh}-x_{Su}}{t} = v_{Sh}-v_{Su}$

$v_{Su} = v_{Sh}-\frac{x_{Sh}-x_{Su}}{t}$

$v_{Su} = 19\,\frac{mi}{h} -\frac{241\,mi}{7\,h}$

$v_{Su} = -15.429\,\frac{mi}{h}$

Speed of the submarine is the magnitude of its velocity, which is 15.429 miles per hour.

ANSWER AND SHOW WORK FOR 40 POINTS

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Q1) (x+7)² = 9

x = -10, -4

Q2) (x-8)² = 144

x = -4, 20

Q3) (x-1)² = 81

x = -8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1) x² + 14x + 49 = 9

x² + 2(x)(7) + 7² = 9

(x + 7)² = 9

x + 7 = +/- sqrt(9)

x + 7 = 3

x = -4

x + 7 = -3

x = -10

Q2) x² - 16x + 64 = 144

x² - 2(x)(8) + 8² = 144

(x - 8)² = 144

x - 8 = +/- sqrt(144)

x - 8 = 12

x = 20

x - 8 = -12

x = -4

Q3) x² - 2x + 1 = 81

x² - 2(x)(1) + 1² = 81

(x - 1)² = 81

x - 1 =+/- sqrt(81)

x - 1 = 9

x = 10

x - 1 = -9

x = -8
