A=-.25+6.7t, s=.75+4.5t when Amir catches up a=s so:
-.25+6.7t=.75+4.5t add .25 to both sides
6.7t=1+4.5t subtract 4.5t from both sides
2.2t=1 divide both sides by 2.2
t=10/22 hr
t≈0.45 hr (to nearest hundredth)
See explanation below.
Explanation:
The 'difference between roots and factors of an equation' is not a straightforward question. Let's define both to establish the link between the two..
Assume we have some function of a single variable
x
;
we'll call this
f
(
x
)
Then we can form an equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then the "roots" of this equation are all the values of
x
that satisfy that equation. Remember that these values may be real and/or imaginary.
Now, up to this point we have not assumed anything about
f
x
)
. To consider factors, we now need to assume that
f
(
x
)
=
g
(
x
)
⋅
h
(
x
)
.
That is that
f
(
x
)
factorises into some functions
g
(
x
)
×
h
(
x
)
If we recall our equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then we can now say that either
g
(
x
)
=
0
or
h
(
x
)
=
0
.. and thus show the link between the roots and factors of an equation.
[NB: A simple example of these general principles would be where
f
(
x
)
is a quadratic function that factorises into two linear factors.
5,740,000( you have to make the number less than 10
5.740000 ( you put a decimal to make it less )
5.74e6 (you count how many times you skipped over to get at the decimal point , and that's your awnser .
Answer:
Idk
Step-by-step explanation:
First number --- (2a-1)
middle number ---- (2a)
third number -----(2a+1)
2a-1+2a+2a+1=250
6a=250
a=250/6= 125/3
2a=2*(125/3)= 250/3 ---- is not a whole number that is contradicts to what is given, so sum cannot be 250
so
