Answer:
C. 4 miles; it represents the original distance of the bee from its hive
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given,
The graph showing the distance between a bee hive for a certain amount of time.
Now, from the graph, we see that,
When the time is 0 mins, then the distance from the bee hive is 4 miles.
<em>Thus, the initial value of the graph is 4 miles and it represents the original distance of the bee hive from the hive.</em>
So, option C is correct.
Round all dollar values to the nearest cent, and consider the trade-in to be a reduction in the amount paid
b.

You have shared the situation (problem), except for the directions: What are you supposed to do here? I can only make a educated guesses. See below:
Note that if <span>ax^2+bx+5=0 then it appears that c = 5 (a rational number).
Note that for simplicity's sake, we need to assume that the "two distinct zeros" are real numbers, not imaginary or complex numbers. If this is the case, then the discriminant, b^2 - 4(a)(c), must be positive. Since c = 5,
b^2 - 4(a)(5) > 0, or b^2 - 20a > 0.
Note that if the quadratic has two distinct zeros, which we'll call "d" and "e," then
(x-d) and (x-e) are factors of ax^2 + bx + 5 = 0, and that because of this fact,
- b plus sqrt( b^2 - 20a )
d = ------------------------------------
2a
and
</span> - b minus sqrt( b^2 - 20a )
e = ------------------------------------
2a
Some (or perhaps all) of these facts may help us find the values of "a" and "b." Before going into that, however, I'm asking you to share the rest of the problem statement. What, specificallyi, were you asked to do here?
