Given the speeds of each runner below, determine who runs the fastest.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Debbie runs 9 feet per second: 9 ft/s

Jessica runs 1 mile  in 440 seconds: 414/50 ft/s = 207/25 ft/s = 8 7/25 ft/s

jesssica runs 131 feet in 10 seconds: since 1 mile = 5280 ft we have 1/470 mi/s = 5280/470 ft/s = 528/47 ft/s = 11 11/47 ft/s

ron runs 603 feet in 1 minute: 547 ft/min = 603/60 ft/s = 201/20 ft/s = 10 1/20 ft/s

Since:

11 11/47 > 10 1/20 > 9 > 8 7/25

Emily runs the fastest.

If a polynomial function f(x) has roots –8, 1, and 6i, what must also be a root of f(x)? A. –6
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

-6i

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots always come in pairs, and those pairs are made up of a positive and a negative version. If 6i is a root, then its negative value, -6i, is also a root.

If you want to know the reasoning, it's along these lines: to even get a complex/imaginary root, we take the square root of a negative value. When you take the square root of any value, your answer is always "plus or minus" whatever the value is. The same thing holds for complex roots. In this case, the polynomial function likely factored to f(x) = (x+8)(x-1)(x^2+36). To solve that equation, you set every factor equal to zero and solve for the x's.

x + 8 = 0

x = -8

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

x^2 + 36 = 0

x^2 = -36 ... take the square root of both sides to get x alone

x = √-36 ... square root of an imaginary number produces the usual square root and an "i"

x = ±6i

What are sample spaces in math?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Sample spaces are for example, if I flip a coin and spin a wheel that has 1, 2, and 3 on it, the sample space would be {H1,H2,H3,T1,T2,T3}. So, sample  spaces list the possibilities of a given set.
