Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, Katie walks 2 ft forward and 5 ft backwards. We need to find her displacement traveled.

The difference between final position and the initial position is equal to displacement. It is the shorted path covered.

Let forward is +x and backward is -x

Initial position of Katie = +2 ft

Final position of Katie = -5 ft

Displacement = final position - initial position

= -5 - 2

Displacement = -7 ft

So, her displacement is 7 feet in backward direction.

Lionel is planning a one-day outing.

vaieri [72.5K]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of rides

y: total cost

We now write the equations for each park.

For The Thrill amusement park:

y = 5x + 40

For The Splash water park:

y = 3x + 60

Answer:

A system of equations that could be used to determine the solution where the cost per ride of the two amusement parks, and, is the same is:

y = 5x + 40

y = 3x + 60

Which polynomial is prime?

finlep [7]

we know that

If the only factors a polynomial are $1$ and itself, then that polynomial is prime.

If the polynomial has at least one root (one x-intercept) then the polynomial is not prime

Using a graph tool

case 1)

$x^{3}+ 3x^{2} + 2x+ 6$

see the attached figure N 1

The polynomial has one root-------> the polynomial is not prime

case 2)

$x^{3} + 3x^{2} - 2x - 6$

see the attached figure N 2

The polynomial has three roots-------> the polynomial is not prime

case 3)

$10x^{2}-4x+3x + 6$

$10x^{2} -x + 6$

see the attached figure N 3

The polynomial has zero roots-------> the polynomial is prime

case 4)

$10x^{2}-10x+6x - 6$

$10x^{2} -4x - 6$

see the attached figure N 4

The polynomial has two roots-------> the polynomial is not prime

therefore

the answer is

$10x^{2}-4x+3x + 6$ ------> is prime
