George walks 1 mile to school. He leaves home at the same time each day, walks at a steady speed of 3 miles per hour, and arrive

s just as school begins. Today he was distracted by the pleasant weather and walked the first 1/2 mile at a speed of only 2 miles per hour. At how many miles per hour must George run the last 1/2 mile in order to arrive just as school begins today?

Answer:

George must run the last half mile at a speed of 6 miles per hour in order to arrive at school just as school begins today

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the number of hours George must walk to arrive at school the normal time he arrives given that his speed is different from what it used to be.

Let’s first start at looking at how many hours he take per day on a normal day, all things being equal.

Mathematically;

time = distance/speed

He walks 1 mile at 3 miles per hour.

Thus, the total amount of time he spend each normal day would be;

time = 1/3 hour or 20 minutes

Now, let’s look at his split journey today. What we know is that by adding the times taken for each side of the journey, he would arrive at the school the normal time he arrives given that he left home at the time he used to.

Let the unknown speed be x miles/hour

Mathematically;

We shall be using the formula for time by dividing the distance by the speed

1/3 = 1/2/(2) + 1/2/x

1/3 = 1/4 + 1/2x

1/2x = 1/3 - 1/4

1/2x = (4-3)/12

1/2x = 1/12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6 miles per hour

Answer:

Plan A equation:   y = 10x + 30

Plan B equation:  y = x + 80

Plan C equation: y = 5x + 50

Plan A costs the same as Plan C in 4 months

Plan A is the better option if you use 0 - 4 GBs of data each month

Plan B becomes the better deal when 8 months pass

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>When does Plan A cost the same as Plan C?</u>

Set the equations equal to each other (the cost) and solve for x (time in months)

10x + 30 = 5x + 50

5x = 20

x = 4 months

<u>Which plan is best if you only use 0-4 GBs of data a month?</u>

Test the maximum and minimum values to check which plan costs less

At 0 GBs of data used per month

Plan A:  y = 0 + $ 30 = $30 total

Plan B: y = 0 +$80 = $80 total

Plan C: y = 0 + $50 = $50 total

At 4 GBs of data used per month

Plan A: y = $ 40 + $ 30 = $ 70

Plan B: y = $ 4 + $ 80 = $ 84

Plan C: y = $ 20 + $ 50 = $ 70

Comparing the plans at maximum and minimum amount of GBs used, only one plan has the lowest cost overall. Even though Plan C is the same price at 4 GBs as Plan A, when you use 0 GBs you will end up paying more in Plan C than Plan A. Therefore, Plan A is the better option

<u>When does Plan B become the best deal?</u>

When you plot the different Plans on a graph, the slope intercept of x = 7.5 (rounded up to 8) yields the lowest cost for plan B

Find polynomial whose zeros are 3 and -4​
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Simplest polynomial: x²+x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

zeroes of polynomial= 3,-4

Therefore,

f(3) =0

f(-4)=0.

By factor Theorem

(x-3) and (x+4) are factors

so simplest polynomial is

(x-3)(x+4)

= x² - 3x + 4x -12

= x² + x -12

.

Hope it helps
