Well you need to first convert 4hrs and 15 minutes to either a decimal hours or minutes, I would do minutes so 255 minutes. Then you set up a proportion of 56miles xmiles
----------- = --------------- Then solve 60x=(56*255)
60 minutes 255 minutes 60x=14280
----- ---------
60 60
x= 238
so the answer is 238miles

A model predicts the profit, p of a company as p(x) = x3 – 3x2 – 16x + 48, where p is in thousands of dollars and x is number of

zavuch27 [327]

The first step is to determine the zeros of p(x).
From the Remainder Theorem,
p(a) = 0 => (x-a) is a factor of p(x), and x=a is a zero of p(x).

Try x=3:
p(3) = 3^3 - 3*3^2 - 16*3 + 48 = 27 - 27 - 48 + 48 = 0
Therefore x=3 is a zero, and (x-3) is a factor of p(x).

Perform long division.
x² - 16
-------------------------------------
x-3 | x³ - 3x² - 16x + 48
x³ - 3x²
-----------------------------------
- 16x + 48
- 16x + 48

Note that x² - 6 = (x+4)(x-4).

Therefore the complete factorization of p(x) is
p(x) = (x-3)(x+4)(x-4)

To determine when p(x) is negative, we shall test between the zeros of p(x)

p(x) is negative in the interval x = (3, 4).

The time interval is Jan. 1, 2014 to Jan. 1, 2015.
