a.

The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81

----------

The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.

w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9

================================================

b.

The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25

---------

Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.

If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)

Peter leaves Mitchell's house traveling 30 mph. Mitchell leaves 15 min later, trying to catch up to peter, going 40 mph. if they
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

  45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

At 30 mph for 1/4 hour, Peter has a 7.5 mile head start. After he leaves, Mitchell closes that gap at the rate of 40-30 = 10 miles per hour. It will take him ...

  t = d/s

  t = (7.5 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 0.75 h

to catch Peter.

Mitchell will catch Peter in 45 minutes.

__

<em>Alternate Solution</em>

Another way to look at it is that Mitchell's 10 mph advantage is 1/3 of Peter's speed, so it will take 1/(1/3) = 3 times the period of Peter's head start:

  3 × 15 minutes = 45 minutes . . . for Mitchell to catch Peter

_____

You can write equations involving time and distance and see where the distances traveled become the same. You need to be careful choosing the time reference, since you're concerned with Mitchell's travel time. I personally prefer to work "head start" problems by considering the differences in time and speed, as above. This is where you end up using the equations approach, anyway.
