Answer:
(a) yes
(b) no; see below
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Integer roots of the quartic will be integer divisors of 6. One of the divisors of 6 is 3, so 3 is a possible root.
(b) In order for 3 to be a double root, it would have to be a double factor of 6. The only integer factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6. (3² = 9 is not one.)
___
The quartic can be written as ...
k(x -a)(x -b)(x -c)(x -d) . . . . . where a, b, c, d, k are integers
The constant term will be kabcd, of which each of the roots is a factor. If the constant is 6 and one root is d=3, then we must have
kabcd = 3kabc = 6
kabc = 6/3 = 2
Among these four integer factors, there must be an even number of minus signs, and one that has the value ±2. Another root whose value is 3 will not satisfy the requirements.

Answer:
The relationship between flying time in seconds in the number of times the insect beats its wings:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of the line equation

where
- m is the rate of change or slope
In our case,
Let 'x' be the flying time in seconds
Ley 'y' be the number of times the insect beats its wings
Given that a certain insect can beat its wings 120 times per second.
It indicates that the rate of change or slope = m = 120
In our case the y-intercept b = 0, as there is no initial condition mentioned here.
Now, substituting m = 120 and b = 0 in the slope-intercept form
y = mx+b
y = 120x+0
y = 120x
Therefore, the relationship between flying time in seconds in the number of times the insect beats its wings:
<u>Answer:</u>
○ 1 hour 41 minutes or more
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We can make two equations that represent the total amount each plumber charges.
If
represents the number of hours they work, then:
•Total charged by Plumber A = 
• Total charged by Plumber B = 
Now, if Plumber A is more expensive than Plumber B, then:
Total charged by Plumber A > Total charged by Plumber B
∴
> 
Now all we have to do is solve for
:
> 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
is equivalent to
= 100 minutes, which is the same as 1h 40min.
This means if Plumber A works more than 1h 40min, they become more expensive than Plumber B.
More than 1h 40min is equivalent to '1 hour 41 minutes or more', therefore the first option is correct.
