Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

blue spruce = 0.5 ft/yr & 4 ft tall

Hemlock = 0.33 ft/yr & 6 ft tall

x = number of years

spruce hemlock

(4+0.5x) = (6+0.33x)

0.17x = 2

12 years

Talia has a daily budget of $94 for a car rental. Write and solve an inequality to find the greatest distance Talia can drive ea

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled by Talia = x

Cost for travelling 'x' miles = x * 0.20 = 0.2x

Daily budget = $94

Inequality,

30 + 0.2x ≤ 94

Solution:

0.2x ≤ 94 - 30

0.2x ≤ 64 {Divide both sides by 0.2

x ≤ 64/0.2

x ≤ 320

What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) x^4-24x^2-25

Greeley [361]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = ±5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following polynomial function and we are to find all of its real roots:

$x^4-24x^2-25$

Let $y=x^2$ so we can now write it as:

$y^2-24y-25$

Factorizing it to get:

$(y^2+y)+(-25y-25)$

$y\left(y+1\right)-25\left(y+1\right)$

$\left ( y + 1 \right ) \left ( y - 2 5 \right)$

Substitute back $y=x^2$ to get:

$\left ( x^2 + 1 \right ) \left ( x^2 - 25 \right )$

$\left ( x^2 + 1 \right ) \left ( x + 5 \right ) \left ( x - 5 \right )$

The quadratic factor has only complex roots. Therefore, the real roots are x = ±5.
