Answer:

(x-4)(x+5) or x^2+x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

If a root of the function is 4, (meaning that when y=0, x=4) it can be rewritten as x-4.

The same goes for if a root is -5. it will simplify to x+5.

These are called factors of a quadratic equation.

Put together, they look like (x-4)(x+5). Using the FOIL method, that can be simplified to x^2+x-20

At maximum speed an airplane travels 2100 miles against the wind in 6hrs. Flying with the wind the plane can travel the same dis

WARRIOR [948]

Let, the speed of Airplane = x
Speed of Wind = y

We know, Speed = Distance / Time

So, x-y = 2100 / 6
x-y = 350
& x+y = 2100/4
x+y = 525

Substitute value of x from equation 1 into 2,
350+y+y = 525
2y = 525-350
y = 175/2
y = 87.5

& x = 350+y = 437.5

In short, Speed of Airplane is 437.5 mph and Wind is 87.5 mph

Hope this helps!

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 16 is 4, and 4 + 1.5 is = to 5.5. An irrational number is defined as infinite and never-ending. Since 5.5 is not infinite, we can conclude that it isn't irrational.
