Answer:

-5a^2 - a + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, I don't know if you have memorized this very niche trick in Algebra. Don't tell anybody I told you this, as the CIA will chase me down for allegedly sharing higher intelligence, but you can easily expand equations by the method of FOIL (FIRSTS, OUTSIDES, INSIDES, LASTS). Using this method, we multiply -a and 5a, -a and 6, 5a and 1, and 1 and 6. Adding them all together, our expanded form is -5a^2 - 6a + 5a + 6. Adding like terms, our final polynomial is -5a^2 - a + 6.

Mark made a business trip of 259.5 miles. He averaged 59mph for the first part of the trip and 57mph for the second part. If the

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = r * t

Let the time at 59 miles / hour be t

59*t + 57* (4.5 - t) = 259.5 Remove the brackets

59*t + 256.5 - 57*t = 259.5 Combine the left

2t + 256.5 = 259.5 Subtract 228 from both sides

2t = 259.5 - 256.5 Combine

2t = 3 Divide by 2

t = 1.5

So he spent 1.5 hours going at 59 miles per hour

He spent 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 hours going 57 miles per hour.

A quadratic equation is shown below:

sweet [91]

Answer:

Part A:

( 1.8333, -0.08333)

Part B:

x = 2 or x = 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation

$3x^{2}-11x+10=0$ has been given.

Part A:

We are required to determine the vertex. The vertex is simply the turning point of the quadratic function. We shall differentiate the given quadratic function and set the result to 0 in order to obtain the co-ordinates of its vertex.

$\frac{d}{dx}(3x^{2}-11x+10)=6x-11$
