Answer:
a. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
When using the "diamond method" for factoring quadratics, the bottom number is the coefficient of the linear term. In this quadratic, it is -4.
The bottom number is -4.
Let
. Then differentiating, we get

We approximate
at
with the tangent line,

The
-intercept for this approximation will be our next approximation for the root,

Repeat this process. Approximate
at
.

Then

Once more. Approximate
at
.

Then

Compare this to the actual root of
, which is approximately <u>1.76929</u>2354, matching up to the first 5 digits after the decimal place.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your friend has a head start of (2 h)×(8 mi/h) = 16 mi.
When you leave, you gain on your friend at the rate of 40 mph - 8 mph = 32 mph. So, it will take ...
(16 mi)/(32 mi/h) = 1/2 h
for you to reduce the distance between you to zero.
In that 1/2 hour, you have traveled ...
(1/2 h)×(40 mi/h) = 20 mi
__
This is the same distance your friend has traveled in 2.5 hours at 8 mi/h.
