Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is an illustration of the problem:

             ----------------------------->|<------------------

            A                                  t                     J

Alex and Jo start from their separate homes and drive towards one another.  The t indicates the time at which they meet, which is the same time for both.  Filling in a d = rt table:

              d           =        r        x        t

Alex                              14                t

Jo                                   6                t

The formula for motion is d = rt, so that means that Alex's distance is 14t and Jo's distance is 6t.

             

                      14t                               6t

   ---------------------------------->|<------------------

   A                                       t                      J

The distance between them is 5 miles, so that means that Alex's distance plus Jo's distance equals 5 miles.  In equation form:

14t + 6t = 5 and

20t = 5 so

t = .25 hours or 15 minutes.

If they leave their homes at 3 and they meet 15 minutes later, then they meet at 3:15.

Hello I’m new here ! But I’m having trouble understanding how my teacher factored out the A from a-a(1.2^4)? And made it to A(1-
Hitman42 [59]

This is the distributive property:

<em>ab</em> + <em>ac</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>b</em> + <em>c</em>)

In this case, you have

<em>a</em> - <em>a</em> (1.2⁴)

and <em>a</em> is a common factor to both <em>a</em> and <em>a</em> (1.2)⁴, so you can pull it out as

<em>a</em> (1 - 1.2⁴)

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.2x + 2.7x - 8.1 = 6.9 + 1.1x

0.2x + 2.7x - 1.1x = 6.9 + 8.1

1.8x = 15

x = 15/1.8

x = 8.33

Similarities: They both are polynomials of degree 2, both of their graphs is a parabola, both have either 2 or 0 real solutions, they are both continuous functions over R 
(DOS= difference of two squares, PST=perfect square trinomial 
Differences: PST has three terms, whereas the difference of squares has 2. PST's factors are both the same, whereas DOS's elements are conjugates of each other. DOS can always be factored into two distinct polynomials with rational coefficients, whereas PST has two same polynomial factors.
