Answer:

  3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The separation distance is increasing at the rate of 20 mph + 60 mph = 80 mph. It will be 280 miles after ...

  time = distance/rate

  time = (280 mi)/(80 mi/h) = 3.5 h

The two cars will be 280 miles apart after 3 1/2 hours.

Answer:

9pr = 2q^2

Step-by-step explanation:

28.

px^2 + qx + r = 0

If one root is A then the other root is 2A

We have A + 2A = -q/p   and A*2A = r/p

So 3A = -q/p  so A = -q/3p and  A^2  = r/2p  so A = √ (r / 2p)

Equating  these 2 equations:-

-q/3p =  √(r / 2p)

q^2 / 9p^2 = r / 2p

9p^2r = 2pq^2

9pr = 2q^2   (answer)

Select the expressions that are polynomials.

I believe the first and last one are polynomials. Usually they start with the highest exponent first and then work their way down.

Solve the equation 5x-2x^2+1
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you call "5x-2x^2+1" an "equation," then you must equate 5x-2x^2+1 to 0:

5x-2x^2+1 = 0

This is a quadratic equation.  Rearranging the terms in descending order by powers of x, we get:

-2x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0.  Here the coefficients are a = -2, b = 5 and c = 1.

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

First find the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac:  25 - 4(-2)(1) = 25 + 8 = 33

Because the discriminant is positive, the roots of this quadratic are real and unequal.

                                                             -b ± √(discriminant)

Applying the quadratic formula   x = --------------------------------

                                                                         2a

we get:

      -5 ± √33           -5 + √33

x = ----------------- = --------------------- and

           2(-2)                     -4

                                  -5 - √33

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

                                         -4
