Answer:

3.08 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you're interested in the time in hours.

$175\text{ mi}\times\dfrac{12\text{ s}}{1000\text{ ft}}\times\dfrac{5280\text{ ft}}{1\text{ mi}}\times\dfrac{1\text{ h}}{3600\text{ s}}=\dfrac{175\times12\times5280}{1000\times3600}\text{ h}=\boxed{3.08\text{ h}}$

It will take 3.08 hours to travel 175 miles at that speed.

Find the zeros of the function. f(x) = 3x2 – 8x – 16

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

amusing you mean 3x^2-8x-16 the answer is when x is equal to -4/3 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2-8x-16 ------> (3x+4)(x-4)

3x+4=0 ----> 3x=-4 ----> x=-4/3

x-4=0 ----> x=4

The equation of a quadratic is =2^2+3−2and after you factorizing 2^2+3−2=0you got x = -2 and x = 1/2 and the curve crosses the y

Lelechka [254]

Given the next quadratic function:

$y=2x^2+3x-2$

to sketch its graph, first, we need to find its vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is found as follows:

$x_V=\frac{-b}{2a}$

where a and b are the first two coefficients of the quadratic function. Substituting with a = 2 and b = 3, we get:

$\begin{gathered} x_V=\frac{-3}{2\cdot2} \\ x_V=-\frac{3}{4}=-0.75 \end{gathered}$

The y-coordinate of the vertex is found by substituting the x-coordinate in the quadratic function, as follows:

$\begin{gathered} y_V=2x^2_V+3x_V-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})^2+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot\frac{9}{16}+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{9}{4}-2 \\ y_V=-\frac{25}{8}=-3.125 \end{gathered}$

The factorization indicates that the curve crosses the x-axis at the points (-2, 0) and (1/2, 0). We also know that the curve crosses the y-axis at (0,-2). Connecting these points and the vertex (-0.75, -3.125) with a U-shaped curve, we get:
