Answer:

Nhan reach town B at 13:24 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Speed of Nhan=3x km /hour

Speed of Phoung=4x km/hour

After 5 hours,

Distance covered by Nhan=3x(5)=15 xkm

Distance covered by Phuong=4x(5)=20x km

Total distance covered by Nhan to reach town B=15x+102 km

Total distance covered by Phuong to reach town B=20x+52 km

Distance between town A and town B for both person is same therefore,

$15x+102=20x+52$

$102-52=20x-15x$

$50=5x$

$x=10$

Speed of Nhan=3(10)=30 km/h

Speed of Phuong=4(10)=40 km/h

Total distance between town A and town B=102+15(10)=252 km

Time taken by Nhan to reach town B from town A= $\frac{distance}{speed}$

Time taken by Nhan to reach town B from town A= $\frac{252}{30}=8.4 hours$

$8.4 hours=8+0.4\times 60$

=8 hours 24 minutes

1 hour=60 minutes

Nhan reach town B at 13:24 pm

I can’t figure out how to use the zeros in the polynomial. Please explain

Temka [501]

Answer:

a) $P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)$

b) $P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)$

c) $P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>For the question a *</u> you need to find a polynomial of degree 3 with zeros in -3, 1 and 4.

This means that the polynomial P(x) must be zero when x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

Then write the polynomial in factored form.

$P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)$

Note that this polynomial has degree 3 and is zero at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

<u>For question b, do the same procedure</u>.

Degree: 3

Zeros: -5/2, 4/5, 6.

The factors are

$x = -\frac{5}{2}\\\\x +\frac{5}{2} = 0\\\\(2x +5) = 0$

---------------------------------------

$x =\frac{4}{5}\\\\x-\frac{4}{5} = 0\\\\(5x-4) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$x = 6\\\\(x-6) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)$

<u>Finally for the question c we have</u>

Degree: 5

Zeros: -3, 1, 4, -1

Multiplicity 2 in -1

$x = -3\\\\(x-3) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$x = 1\\\\(x-1) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$x = 4\\\\(x-4) = 0$

----------------------------------------

$x = -1\\\\(x + 1) = 0$

-----------------------------------------

$P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2$

Plz awnser because Aleks is dumb

Since you know it's a square, you also know that all the sides are 3 2/3. So to find area you multiply, so 3 2/3 x 3 2/3. An easy way to do this is convert it to a mixed number (11/3) and then multiply:
11/3 x 11/3 = 121/9

Does 2 is included in the square root?
