On Monday, Avi walked from his home to the school track and walked 4 laps around the track for a total of 3.5 miles. On Saturday

, Avi ran from his home to the school track, ran 2 laps, and then ran home for a total of 4 miles. Let x represent the distance from Avi’s home to the school track, and let y represent the distance of one lap around the track. Write a system of equations to represent this situation.

Answer:

3.5 = x + 4*y

4 = 2x + 2*y

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance ran by Avi is the sum of the distance from his house to the track, and the total distance ran in the tracks (that is, the distance of one lap times the number of laps Avi ran).

If we call 'd' the total distance and 'k' the number of laps, we have the equation:

d = x + k*y

So with the data given, we can have the following system:

3.5 = x + 4*y

4 = 2x + 2*y

In the second equation, we have 2x because Avi ran from his home to the track, and in the end ran back home, so Avi ran the distance x two times.

One zero of the polynomial function f(x) = x3 + x2 + 20x is x = 0. What are the zeros of the polynomial function?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

if f(x)= x3 + x2 - 20x

Replace f(x) by y

y = x3 + x2 - 20x

0 =x3 + x2 - 20x

x3 + x2 - 20x = 0

Take out x as a common:

x(x2+x-20)=0

Find factors of x2+x+20.

x(x^2+4x-5x-20) = 0

x{x(x+4)-5(x+4)}=0

x(x+4)(x-5)=0

Set x= 0

x=0 , x+4=0 , x-5 =0

x=0, x=0-4 , x=0+5

x=0, x= -4, x=5

x=(0,5,-4)

The correct option is C....

Write an equation for a line parallel to y=3x-3 and passing through the point (4,15)
Andrews [41]

Hello!

To find the equation of a line parallel to y = 3x - 3 and passing through the point (4, 15), we need to know that if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equivalent.

This means that we create a new equation in slope-intercept form, which includes the original slope, which is equal to 3.

In slope-intercept form, we need a y-intercept. So, we would substitute the given ordered pair into the new equation with the same slope and solve.

Remember that slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y = 3x + b (substitute the ordered pair (4, 15))

15 = 3(4) + b (simplify)

15 = 12 + b (subtract 12 from both sides)

3 = b

Therefore, the equation for the line parallel to the line y = 3x - 3, and passing through the point (4, 15) is y = 3x + 3.
