Answer:6km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

when Alice finishes the race Becky is 8km From finishing line

and caitlin 12 km from finishing line.

Suppose t is the time require by Alice to finish the race

andV_a,V_b,V_c be the velocity of alice ,becky and caitlin

thus t=\frac{24}{V_a}=\frac{24-8}{V_b}=\frac{24-12}{V_c}

thus \frac{V_b}{V_c}=\frac{4}{3}

say t' is time required by beckey  to complete 8 km thus

V_b\times t'=8

therefore for Caitlin

V_c\times t'=\frac{8}{V_b}\times V_c=6

Thus caitlin will cover a distance of 6 km in t' time and 6 km away from finishing.

Factor completely x^4-17x^2+16​
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

(x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

actor the following:

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16:

(x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16

The factors of 16 that sum to -17 are -1 and -16. So, (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16):

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16)

x^2 - 16 = x^2 - 4^2:

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 4^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 4^2 = (x - 4) (x + 4):

(x - 4) (x + 4) (x^2 - 1)

x^2 - 1 = x^2 - 1^2:

(x^2 - 1^2) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 1^2 = (x - 1) (x + 1):

Answer: (x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!
Harman [31]
  1. Answer:

hypotenuse (h)=?

perpendicular (p)=3

base(b)=2

using pythagoras theorem

h²=p²+b²

h²=3²+2²

h²=9+4

h²=13

h=√13

  • hypotenuse (h)=12
  • perpendicular (p)=10
  • base(b)=?

using pythagoras theorem

b²=h²-p²

b²=12²-10²

b²=144-100

b=√44

b=2√11

Solve the equation.
mylen [45]

-9/15y+3/21=5/15y-14/21

Move 5/15y to the other side. Sign changes from +5/15y to -5/15y

-9/15y-5/15y+3/21=5/15y-5/15y-14/21

-14/15y+3/21=-14/21

Move 3/21 to the other side. Sign changes from +3/21 to -3/21.

-14/15y+3/21-3/21=-14/21-3/21

-14/15y=-14/21-3/21

-14/21-3/21=-17/21

-14/15y=-17/21

Multiply both sides by -15/14

-14/15y(-15/14)

Cross out 15 and 15, divide by 15 then becomes 1

Cross out 14 and 14, divide by 14 then becomes 1

1*1*y=y

-17/21*-15/14

Cross out 15 and 21 , divide by 3. 15/3=2, 21/3=7

17/7*5/14=85/98

Answer: c. y=85/98
