Answer:
<span>x=6</span>, <span>x=−5</span> or <span>x=9</span>
Explanation:
<span><span>f<span>(x)</span></span>=<span>(x−6)</span><span>(x+5)</span><span>(x−9)</span></span>
If all of the linear factors are non-zero, then so is their product <span>f<span>(x)</span></span>.
If any of the linear factors is zero, then so is their product <span>f<span>(x)</span></span>.
So the zeros of <span>f<span>(x)</span></span> are precisely the values of x which make at least one of the linear factors 0, namely: 6, <span>−5</span> or 9.
Use the Pyth. Theorem to calculate the total distance flown by the plane in 3 1/2 hours:
d = sqrt(750^2 + 750^2) = 750sqrt(2) miles
Now divide this distance by the total time (3 1/2 hours):
750sqrt(2) miles
---------------------- = 303 miles per hour average
3.5 hours
100-99=1+98=99-97=2+96=98-95=3
2-1=1
