We need to find the time taken to travel from Frederick, MD to Baltimore, MD at a speed of 15 miles per hour.

The time taken to travel the distance is 3 hours and 20 minutes.

The shortest route from Frederick to Baltimore is 50.2 miles via the I-70 E.

So we can assume this route will be taken.

Speed of the cyclist = 15 mph

Time is given by distance divided by speed.

So,

t=\dfrac{50.2}{15}\\\Rightarrow t=3.34\ \text{hours}

Converting to hours and minutes

0.34\times 60=20.4\approx 20

The time taken by the cyclist would be about 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Find all solutions to the following quadratic equations, and write each equation in factored form.
dexar [7]

Answer:

(a) The solutions are: x=5i,\:x=-5i

(b) The solutions are: x=3i,\:x=-3i

(c) The solutions are: x=i-2,\:x=-i-2

(d) The solutions are: x=-\frac{3}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2},\:x=-\frac{3}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}

(e) The solutions are: x=1,\:x=-1,\:x=\sqrt{5}i,\:x=-\sqrt{5}i

(f) The solutions are: x=1

(g) The solutions are: x=0,\:x=1,\:x=-2

(h) The solutions are: x=2,\:x=2i,\:x=-2i

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solutions of these quadratic equations you must:

(a) For x^2+25=0

\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\x^2+25-25=0-25

\mathrm{Simplify}\\x^2=-25

\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt{-25},\:x=-\sqrt{-25}

\mathrm{Simplify}\:\sqrt{-25}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{-a}=\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{a}\\\\\sqrt{-25}=\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{25}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:imaginary\:number\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{-1}=i\\\\\sqrt{-25}=\sqrt{25}i\\\\\sqrt{-25}=5i

-\sqrt{-25}=-5i

The solutions are: x=5i,\:x=-5i

(b) For -x^2-16=-7

-x^2-16+16=-7+16\\-x^2=9\\\frac{-x^2}{-1}=\frac{9}{-1}\\x^2=-9\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\x=\sqrt{-9},\:x=-\sqrt{-9}

The solutions are: x=3i,\:x=-3i

(c) For \left(x+2\right)^2+1=0

\left(x+2\right)^2+1-1=0-1\\\left(x+2\right)^2=-1\\\mathrm{For\:}\left(g\left(x\right)\right)^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}g\left(x\right)=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x+2=\sqrt{-1}\\x+2=i\\x=i-2\\\\x+2=-\sqrt{-1}\\x+2=-i\\x=-i-2

The solutions are: x=i-2,\:x=-i-2

(d) For \left(x+2\right)^2=x

\mathrm{Expand\:}\left(x+2\right)^2= x^2+4x+4

x^2+4x+4=x\\x^2+4x+4-x=x-x\\x^2+3x+4=0

For a quadratic equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 the solutions are:

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=3,\:c=4:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-3\pm \sqrt{3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2\cdot \:1}

x_1=\frac{-3+\sqrt{3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad -\frac{3}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}\\\\x_2=\frac{-3-\sqrt{3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad -\frac{3}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}

The solutions are: x=-\frac{3}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2},\:x=-\frac{3}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}

(e) For \left(x^2+1\right)^2+2\left(x^2+1\right)-8=0

\left(x^2+1\right)^2= x^4+2x^2+1\\\\2\left(x^2+1\right)= 2x^2+2\\\\x^4+2x^2+1+2x^2+2-8\\x^4+4x^2-5

\mathrm{Rewrite\:the\:equation\:with\:}u=x^2\mathrm{\:and\:}u^2=x^4\\u^2+4u-5=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:with\:the\:quadratic\:equation}\:u^2+4u-5=0

u_1=\frac{-4+\sqrt{4^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-5\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad 1\\\\u_2=\frac{-4-\sqrt{4^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-5\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad -5

\mathrm{Substitute\:back}\:u=x^2,\:\mathrm{solve\:for}\:x\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2=1=\quad x=1,\:x=-1\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2=-5=\quad x=\sqrt{5}i,\:x=-\sqrt{5}i

The solutions are: x=1,\:x=-1,\:x=\sqrt{5}i,\:x=-\sqrt{5}i

(f) For \left(2x-1\right)^2=\left(x+1\right)^2-3

\left(2x-1\right)^2=\quad 4x^2-4x+1\\\left(x+1\right)^2-3=\quad x^2+2x-2\\\\4x^2-4x+1=x^2+2x-2\\4x^2-4x+1+2=x^2+2x-2+2\\4x^2-4x+3=x^2+2x\\4x^2-4x+3-2x=x^2+2x-2x\\4x^2-6x+3=x^2\\4x^2-6x+3-x^2=x^2-x^2\\3x^2-6x+3=0

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=3,\:b=-6,\:c=3:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-6\right)^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:3}\\\\x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)\pm \sqrt{0}}{2\cdot \:3}\\x=\frac{-\left(-6\right)}{2\cdot \:3}\\x=1

The solutions are: x=1

(g) For x^3+x^2-2x=0

x^3+x^2-2x=x\left(x^2+x-2\right)\\\\x^2+x-2:\quad \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)\\\\x^3+x^2-2x=x\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)=0

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

x=0\\x-1=0:\quad x=1\\x+2=0:\quad x=-2

The solutions are: x=0,\:x=1,\:x=-2

(h) For x^3-2x^2+4x-8=0

x^3-2x^2+4x-8=\left(x^3-2x^2\right)+\left(4x-8\right)\\x^3-2x^2+4x-8=x^2\left(x-2\right)+4\left(x-2\right)\\x^3-2x^2+4x-8=\left(x-2\right)\left(x^2+4\right)

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

x-2=0:\quad x=2\\x^2+4=0:\quad x=2i,\:x=-2i

The solutions are: x=2,\:x=2i,\:x=-2i

Construct an explicit rule in function notation for the arithmetic sequence represented in the table. Then determine the value o
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

After 11 weeks, Darnell′s savings account will have a total of $8,360.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

   n:    1        2       3        4

f (n): 260   360   460   560  

Consider the data for f (n).

The series f (n) follows an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 100 and first term as 260.

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Compute the value of f (11) as follows:

f(11)=\frac{11}{2}[(2\times260)+(11-1)\times 100]

        =5.5\times[520+1000]\\\\=5.5\times 1520\\\\=8360

Thus, after 11 weeks, Darnell′s savings account will have a total of $8,360.

What is a necessary step for constructing perpendicular lines through a point off the line?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Find another point on the perpendicular line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an original line "m", and a point off the line "Q", in order to construct a second line "p", meant to be perpendicular to "m" through the point "Q", fundamentally, the only truly necessary step to construct a perpendicular line through is to find another point on the yet-to-be-found perpendicular line.

Most often, this is accomplished by exploiting the fact that "p" is the set of all points that are equidistant from any pair of points that are symmetric about "p".

Since the symmetry must be about "p", and we don't even know where "p" is, one often finds two points on "m" that are equidistant from "Q".

This can be accomplished by adjusting a compass to a fixed radius (larger than the distance from "Q" to "m"), and making an arc that intersects "m" in two places.  Those two places will be equidistant from "Q", and are simultaneously on line "m".  Thus, these two points, "A" & "B" are symmetric about "p".

Since "A" & "B" are symmetric about "p", they are equidistant from "p", and are on "m".  One could try to find the point of intersection between "p" and "m" through construction, but this is unnecessary.  We need only find a second point (besides "Q") that is equidistant from "A" & "B", which will necessarily be a point on "p", to form the line perpendicular to "m".

To do this, fix the compass with any radius, and from "A" make a large arc generally in the direction of "B", and make the same radius arc from "B" in the direction of "A" such that the two arcs intersect at some point that isn't "Q".  This point of intersection we can call point "T", and the line QT is line "p", the line perpendicular to the original line, necessarily containing "Q".
