Matthew is driving his car to visit a farm. He covers a distance of 112.25 miles in 60 minutes. He visits a friend on the way, and thereafter drives 45 miles at the same speed. He estimates that he took 30 minutes to cover the last distance. Is this a reasonable estimate?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: His estimate is not reasonable because the time it took to cover the last distance is 24.1 minutes and it is below his estimate

Step-by-step explanation:

On his way to the farm, he covered a distance of 112.25 miles in 60 minutes.

Speed = distance/time.

So his speed is 112.25/60 = 1.87 miles per hour.

He visits a friend on the way, and thereafter drives 45 miles at the same speed. So he covered 45 miles at a speed of 1.87 miles per minute.

Time taken = distance / speed

Time it took him to cover 45 miles = 45/1.87 = 24.1 minutes

Which of the following represents the zeros of f(x) = 3x^3 − 10x^2 − 81x + 28?A) 7, -4, 1/3
B) 7, -4, -1/3
C) 7, 4, 1/3
D) 7, 4, -1/3

Answers

Option A). 7, -4 and 1/3

To find the zeros you can factor the polynolial into (3x-1)((x+4)(x-7)

Then:
3x -1 =0 => x = 1/3
x+4=0 => x = -4
x-7 =0 => x =7

Those are the three zeros.

Y - 2 = 1/2 (x + 6) goes through which point?

Answers

According to the point slope formula:
y-y1=m(x-x1).
Here y1 = 2 according to the given equation.
and x1 = (-6).
Therefore,the line passes through the point P(x1,y1) or
P(-6,2).
Final Answer:P(-6,2).

If y=5x-3 and 3x-y=-1, what is the value of y

Answers

Well if you make them both equal to y I got...
Y=-3x+1
Y=5x-3
But I don't think you can find it without the y since they are different variables. Like I know -3x and 5x are the slopes and 1 and -3 are the y intercepts but I'm stuck after that. Sorry if that wasn't any help.
Hope I helped.

1 is the answer! Hope this helps
