F(x)=x^2+bx-16
x=5
F(5)=5^2+b(5)-16
=25+5b-16=0
=5b+9=0
=5b=-9
=b= -9/5
By remainder theorem

Mr. Mandel gave his class 12 minutes to read. 5 1/2 pages in that time. At what rate, in pages per hour, did Claire read?

Eva8 [605]

5 1/2 pages in 12 minutes.
11/2 pages in 12 minutes

How many pages in an hour?
well, an hour has 60 minutes

Let's write a proportion
11/2 / 12 = x/60
cross multiply
(11/2 * 60) = 12x
330 = 12x
divide both sides by 12
27.5 or 27 1/2 = x

27.5 pages per hour.

Hope this helps

A hiker climbs a 5-mile trail up a mountain in 2 hours. On the return trip downhill, she walks the same trail and returns to her

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

3.33 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance traveled by the hiker is 5 * 2 = 10 miles, and the total time travelled is 2 + 1 = 3 hours.

So, to find the average speed of the entire trip, we can use the formula:

distance = speed * time

With distance = 10 and time = 3, we have:

10 = speed * 3

speed = 10/3 = 3.33 miles per hour.
