12/7 + 8/7
12+8 = 20
20/7 = 2 and 6/7ths
Answer:
Runner 1 has the fastest pace
Step-by-step explanation:
The first one we need to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (40-0)/(4-0) =40/4 = 10 minutes per mile
The second is 8.5 minutes per mile
The third we need to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (90-72)/(10-8) =18/2 = 9 minutes per mile
First question:
I urge you to perform the division using the synthetic division method:
________________
-4 / 1 3 -6 -6 8
-4 4 8 -8
-----------------------
1 -1 -2 2 0
Note that there is no remainder. When this is the case, the divisor (here, that's -4) is a root of the given polynomial, and the value of that polynomial, g(-4), is 0.
If the remainder were not 0, then the remainder represents the value of the polynomial for that particular divisor. For example, if x = -3, the remainder is -28. We'd write that as g(-3) = -28.
But here, g(-4) = 0.
Answer:
27 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the number of payments can be used:
N = -log(1 +0.05(1 -1000000/65000))/log(1.05) +1 = 27.03
There will be a couple thousand dollars left after the 27th payment.
The winnings will last 27 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Write a proportion:
3 buckets / 1 gallon = 1 bucket / x gallons
Cross multiply and solve:
3x = 1
x = 1/3
You need 1/3 of a gallon of water.
