Answer: the speed of the plane is 130 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the plane. If the car travels 80 mph slower than the plane, then the speed of the car would be (x - 80) mph.

Time = Distance/speed

plane can fly 520 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 200 miles. This means that the time it takes the plane to fly 520 miles is

520/x

Also, the time it takes the car to drive 200 miles is

200/(x - 80)

Since the time is the same, it means that

520/x = 200/(x - 80)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

520(x - 80) = 200 × x

520x - 41600 = 200x

520x - 200x = 41600

320x = 41600

x = 41600/320

x = 130 mph

<span>To find out how much Newton would pay you take the cruise cost of $1920.96 and divide by $720 to find out it would take 3 months for Newton to pay off the balance at $720 per month. The cost of the cruise would be $1920.96 + ($1920.96-$720)*0.186+ ($1920-$1440)*0.186)</span>

If a polynomial function f(x)has root -2 + square root 8 and 9 what must be a factor of f(x)
Rasek [7]

Answer:

(x+2-\sqrt{9}) , (x-2+\sqrt{9}) ,(x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that f(x) is a polynomial function.

This implies that f(x) has x terms of positive integral degrees and also rational coefficients only.

Since an irrational root is given a root of f(x), we find that its conjugate also should be a root of f(x)

i.e. If -2+\sqrt{8} is a root, then -2-\sqrt{8} is also a root.

(Because this only when multiplied will make coefficients rational)

So the factors of f(x) should be atleast

(x+2-\sqrt{9}) , (x-2+\sqrt{9}) ,(x-9)

There can be other factors also but this is compulsory
