Answer:

  54.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drivers leave at the same time and travel in directions 90° from each other, their separation speed can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Let c represent Cynthia's average speed. Then (c-10) will represent Tim's average speed. Their combined separation speed is 70 miles per hour, so we can write ...

  70² = c² +(c -10)²

  4900 = 2c² -20c +100 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  c² -10c -2400 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 2; put in standard form

  (c -5)² -2425 = 0 . . . . . . . . . rearrange to vertex form

  c = 5 ±5√97 . . . . . . . . . . . . solve for c, simplify radical

  c ≈ 54.244 ≈ 54.2 . . . . . . . use the positive solution

Cynthia's average speed was 54.2 miles per hour.

F(x)=(x+4)(x-2)(x+4)(x+4)<br><br> What is the multiple zero? Multiplicity is?
kari74 [83]
f(x)=(x+4)(x-2)(x+4)(x+4)\\f(x)=(x+4)^3(x-2)=0\\(x+4)^3=0~|~(x-2)=0\\(x+4)(x+4)(x+4)=0~|~x=2\\x=-4,2

The multiple zero is x = -4.

The multiplicity is 2 because there are two values of x.

What are the solution of x^2-2x+17=0
ddd [48]

Answer:

<h2>x = 1 - 4i or x = 1 + 4i</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-2x+17=0\qquad\text{subtract 17 from both sides}\\\\x^2-2x=-17\\\\x^2-2(x)(1)=-17\qquad\text{add}\ 1^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(1)+1^2=-17+1^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-1)^2=-17+1\\\\(x-1)^2=-16

x-1=-4i\ \vee\ x-1=4i\qquad\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\\x=1-4i\ \vee\ x=1+4i
