Answer:

The three equations:

y = 15x, wolf
y = 10x + 15, you
y = 5x + 20, friend

Compare the equations with wolf and you and with wolf and your friend:

15x = 10x + 15
5x = 15
x = 3 seconds

It will take 3 seconds before you are caught by the wolf

15x = 5x + 20
10x = 20
x = 2 seconds

It will take 2 seconds before your friend is caught by the wolf, he will be caught a second before you.

Factor each polynomial 6m^2-15m

stellarik [79]

You can do prime factorization then find common factors to factor out.

6m² - 15m

2·3·m·m - 3·5·m

Both terms have 3·m so we can factor it out:

3·m (2·m - 5)

So that would be 3m (2m - 5)

P(x)= x^5-4x^4+3x^3+2x-6 Use Descartes rule of signs to analyze the zeros

maxonik [38]

$\bf \begin{array}{cccccccccccllll}
P(x)= x^5&-&4x^4&+&3x^3&+&2x&-&6\\
&yes&&yes&&\textit{no}&&yes
\\\\\\
P(-x)= -x^5&-&4x^4&-&3x^3&-&2x&-&6\\
&\textit{no}&&\textit{no}&&\textit{no}&&\textit{no}
\end{array}$

notice where how many "yes" sign change happen in the positive "x"
and the on the negative "-x"

for the P(x) is 3 changes, thus
so is either 3 real positive ones, or 3-2 = 1 real positive one

P(-x) gives no sign changes, so there are 0 negative ones

the polynomial has a degree of 5, thus 5 roots
if it has 3 real positive ones, then it has 2 complex ones
the complex ones pick up the slack per se

if it has 1 real positive one, then it has 4 complex ones

bear in mind complex ones always come in pairs
