Answer:

        200 ft               200

t = -------------------- = ---------- min

      (S + T) ft/min      S + T

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that distance = (rate)(time).

The distance traveled by the turtle in t minutes is dt = (T ft/min)(t), and

the distance traveled by the snail in t minutes is ds = (S ft/min)(t).  We know that ds + dt must be 200 ft.

Thus,

(S ft/min)(t) + (T ft/min)(t) = 200 ft.

The variable t, representing elapsed time, is common to both terms on the left.  Thus,

        200 ft               200

t = -------------------- = ---------- min

      (S + T) ft/min      S + T

What is the least possible degree of a polynomial that has roots -5, 1+4i, and -4i
N76 [4]
If complex coefficients are allowed, the answer is 3.

If the polynomial must have real coefficients, then each complex root comes as a pair of complex conjugate roots.

Root -5 is real, so that is 1 root, and degree 1.

Root 1 + 4i is complex, so it must come with its complex conjugate, 1 - 4i. This adds 2 roots to the polynomial, and now we're up to degree 3.

Root -4i is also complex. It also must come with its complex conjugate, 4i. That adds two more roots, and the degree is 5.

Answer: The least possible degree is 5 with real coefficients.

The most people you can invite with no more than $240, is 16 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+140=240

6x = 100

x = 16.6666667

Therefore

x = 16.
