Make the circle closed and the > needs to be underlined
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Deisha's build rate = 1 fence per 15 hours = 1/15 fences per hour
Travis's build rate = 1 fence per 12 hours = 1/12 fences per hour
Working together, their combined rate is 1/15 + 1/12 = 3/20 fences per hour
So it takes them 20/3 = 6 2/3 hours per fence
When roots of polynomials occur in radical form, they occur as two conjugates.
That is,
The conjugate of (a + √b) is (a - √b) and vice versa.
To show that the given conjugates come from a polynomial, we should create the polynomial from the given factors.
The first factor is x - (a + √b).
The second factor is x - (a - √b).
The polynomial is
f(x) = [x - (a + √b)]*[x - (a - √b)]
= x² - x(a - √b) - x(a + √b) + (a + √b)(a - √b)
= x² - 2ax + x√b - x√b + a² - b
= x² - 2ax + a² - b
This is a quadratic polynomial, as expected.
If you solve the quadratic equation x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0 with the quadratic formula, it should yield the pair of conjugate radical roots.
x = (1/2) [ 2a +/- √(4a² - 4(a² - b)]
= a +/- (1/2)*√(4b)
= a +/- √b
x = a + √b, or x = a - √b, as expected.
77.5d + .14m
m = 425
.14 * 425 = 59.5
77.5d + 59.5 ≤ 230
77.5d ≤ 170.5
d ≤ 170.5/77.5
d ≤ 2.2
