Find a polynomial of lowest degree that has the indicated zeroes: 1+i, 1-i, 3

A train travels 68 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 64 kilometers in 3 hours. What is its average speed

skad [1K]

Average speed is the distance traveled by an object in total and divided by the amount of time an object covers the distance. The formula is -
Average speed = total distance traveled / total time taken
= 68km+64km / 2 hrs.+3hrs.
= 132km / 5hrs.
= 26.4km/hr.
Therefore, the train's average speed is 26.4km/hr.

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y = 3x + 6 and containing the point (-9,-5).

neonofarm [45]

The equation of the line perpendicular to y = 3x + 6 and containing the point (-9,-5) is $y = \frac{-1}{3}x - 8$

Solution:

Given that line perpendicular to y = 3x + 6 and containing the point (-9, -5)

We have to find the equation of line

The slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + c ------ eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Let us first find the slope of line

The given equation of line is y = 3x + 6

On comparing the given equation of line y = 3x + 6 with eqn 1, we get,

m = 3

Thus the slope of given equation of line is 3

We know that product of slopes of given line and slope of line perpendicular to given line is equal to -1

Slope of given line $\times$ slope of line perpendicular to given line = -1

$3 \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to given line }= -1$

$\text{ slope of line perpendicular to given line } = \frac{-1}{3}$

Let us now find the equation of line with slope $m = \frac{-1}{3}$ and containing the point (-9, -5)

Substitute $m = \frac{-1}{3}$ and (x, y) = (-9, -5) in eqn 1

$-5 = \frac{-1}{3}(-9) + c\\\\-5 = 3 + c\\\\c = -8$

Thus the required equation of line is:

Substitute $m = \frac{-1}{3}$ and c = -8 in eqn 1

$y = \frac{-1}{3}x - 8$

Thus the required equation of line perpendicular to given line is found

Bryan cuts a piece of cardboard in the shape of a trapezoid.the area of the cutout is 43.5 square centimeters.if the bases are 6

Nimfa-mama [501]

trapezoid area = ((sum of the bases) ÷ 2) • height
height = trapezoid area / ((sum of the bases) ÷ 2)
height = 43.5 / ((6 + 8.5) / 2)
height = 43.5 / ((14.5) / 2)
height = 43.5 / (7.5)
height = 6 centimeters

The function below shows the number of car owners f(t), in thousands, in a city in different years t: f(t) = 0.25t2 − 0.5t + 3.5

N76 [4]

We solve this by the definition of slope in analytical geometry. The definition of slope is the rise over run. In equation, that would be

m = Δy/Δx = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

The x-coordinates here are the t values, while the y-coordinates are the f(t) values. So, let's find the y values of the boundaries.

At t=2: f(t)= 0.25(2)² − 0.5(2) + 3.5 = 3.5
Point 1 is (2, 3.5)
At t=6: f(t)= 0.25(6)² − 0.5(6) + 3.5 = 9.5
Point 2 is (6, 9.5)

The slope would then be

m = (9.5-3.5)/(6-2)
m = 1.5

Hence, the slope is 1.5. Interpreting the data, the rate of change between t=2 and t=6 is 1.5 thousands per year.
