Polynomials can have double roots, in fact they're pretty common. if you get a reasonable zero it costs very little time to try it again for a double root. answer is the second choice
16.2 miles.
Since she paid a $5 tip, the cost for her fare was $23.50. Let x be the number of 0.2-mile increments in the trip:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25(x-1)
This equation comes from the 2.50 home pick-up fee; $1 for the first 0.2-mile increment; and 0.25 for each other 0.2-mile increment.
Using the distributive property, we have:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25*x - 0.25*1
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25x - 0.25
Combining like terms,
23.50 = 0.25x + 2.75
Subtracting 2.75 from both sides, we have:
23.50 - 2.75 = 0.25x + 2.75 - 2.75
20.25 = 0.25x
Dividing both sides by 0.25, we have:
20.25/0.25 = 0.25x/0.25
81 = x
This means there are 81 0.2-mile increments in her trip. 81(0.2) = 16.2 miles
Answer:
-1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
5a+2/3=-1/6
5a=-1/6-2/3
5a=-1/6-4/6
5a=-5/6
a=(-5/6)/5
a=(-5/6)(1/5)
a=-5/30
simplify
a=-1/6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
this is confusing b/c they are asking about two trains traveling at differnt speeds, but.. if you put the speeds together and make one train... imaginary.. ofc... traveling at the speed of both trains combined... when will it be 50 miles from the station?
maybe you can solve that? I'll solve it below.. but.. if you can.. try it now, on your own
below is my answer... don't look until you have solved yours :P
80+70= 150kph
when will this have traveled 50Km?
you may be able to see that it will take 1/3 of an hour to travel 50 km
so 60 minutes times 1/3 = 20 minutes :)
I’m gonna say it’s a carrot
