Answer: 0.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Jonathon has paper strips that are all equal in length.

Let x be the length of each paper strip.

Since John lines them up end to end, the length of the line of paper strips= 3 feet

Also total strips used= 12

Therefore, length of line of strips= $12x=3\ feet$

$\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{1}{4}\ feet\\\Rightarrow\ x= 0.25\ feet$

hence, if Jonathan is correct then the length of each strip will be 0.25 feet.

Which second degree polynomial function f(x) has a lead coefficient of 3 and roots 4 and 1?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

f(x) = 3x² - 15x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) has roots x = a and x = b, then

(x - a) and (x - b) are the factors

f(x) is then the product of the factors

f(x) = a(x - a)(x - b) ← where a is a multiplier

Given roots are x = 4 and x = 1, then

(x - 4) and (x - 1) are the factors

With a = 3, then

f(x) = 3(x - 4)(x - 1) ← expand factors using FOIL

= 3(x² - 5x + 4) ← distribute

= 3x² - 15x + 12

Marlene rides her bicycle to her friend jon's house and returns home by the same route. marlene rides her bike at constant spee

riadik2000 [5.3K]

To solve the problem:

Let f = distance one way distance on level ground

Let h = distance rode on the hill

Write a time equation; where Time = distance/speed:

level time + uphill time + downhill time + level time = 1hr

f/9 + h/6 + h/18 + f/9 = 1 hr

Multiply equation by 18 to get rid of the denominators

2f + 3h + h + 2f = 18

4f + 4h = 18

Simplify by dividing this by 4

f + h = 4.5 miles is took her to get to Jon’s house.

G.O is going on a hike in the mountains on a hot summer day ha has 4/5 gallon of water that he split into 4 bottles what fractio

kirill [66]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$ fraction of gallon is in each bottle.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given condition: G.O is going on a hike in the mountains on a hot summer day he has 4/5 gallon of water that he split into 4 bottles.

⇒ in 4 bottle he has $\frac{4}{5}$ gallon of water.

Unit rates defined as when are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 4 miles per hour, then they are called unit rates.

By unit rate definition,

In 1 bottle he has = $\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{5}$ gallon of water.

therefore, the gallon in each bottle in fraction is, $\frac{1}{5}$
