Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 4x + 10 = 0

subtract 10 from both sides

x² - 4x = - 10

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 = - 10 + 4

(x - 2)² = - 6

To complete the square add 4

If a certain trip takes 40 minutes when you travel 50 miles per hour, how many minutes would it take if you travel 40 miles per
vitfil [10]

Answer:

It would take 50 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance, velocity and time</u>

The speed is the rate at which the distance changes with respect to time. If x is the distance, t is the time, the speed v can be obtained by

\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}

We know the trip takes 40 minutes when traveling at 50 miles/hour. The distance can be determined by isolating x in the above equation

x=vt

The given time is expressed in minutes, we need to convert it to hours. 40 minutes is \frac{40}{60}=0.6666...\ hours. The distance is

\displaystyle x=(50)(0.666..)=33.33\ miles

If the speed was 40 miles/hour, the same distance would be covered in t hours, taken from the above equation as

\displaystyle t=\frac{x}{v}

t=\frac{33.33}{40}=0.8333\ hours = 0.83333*60= 50\ minutes
