Answer:

12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Susan will walk a lap in 4 minutes

Daphne will do it in 6 minutes

We have to find the Least Common Multiple for the minutes each of them will take, and it is a number that both numbers (4 and 6) will get as a resul of multiplying them by another number.

We are going to write down the miltiples of 4

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24,...

Now the multiples of 6

6, 12, 18, 24,...

Now we can see that there are several numbers that are multiples of 4 and also of 6 like in this case 12 and 24, but we are looking for the smallest number that is common for both numbers: in this case it is 12.

The reason to use the Least Common Multiple is that we know that Susan will finish a lap everytime multiples of 4 minutes pass, and Daphne will finish a lap at every multiple of 6 so when they have in common a multiple they both will be finishing a lap, in this case it will be Susan´s third lap and Daphne´s second lap but they will be crossing the starting line at the same time. And at 12 minutes it will be the first time they will complete a lap at the same time.

Find a polynomial function of degree 3 such that f(10)=17 and the zeros of f are 0, 5 and 8
fomenos

Step-by-step explanation:

Since f(0) = f(5) = f(8) = 0, we have f(x) = Ax(x - 5)(x - 8), where A is a real constant.

We know that f(10) = 17.

=> A(10)(10 - 5)(10 - 8) = 17

=> A(10)(5)(2) = 17

=> 100A = 17, A = 0.17.

Hence the answer is f(x) = 0.17x(x - 5)(x - 8).

If 49x2 + 28x - 10 is rewritten as p2 + 4p -10, what is p in terms of<br> p=
madam [21]

Answer:

p=7x

Step-by-step explanation:

49x^[2] + 28x - 10 = p^[2] + 4p -10

This equation is in the form a^[2]x + bx + c.

<u><em>The 'c' is common for both equations, this means the 'a' and 'b' must also be common. </em></u>

There are two ways to find p: 'a' or 'b'

<u>a method</u>

49x^[2] = p^[2]

=> The square root of both sides = 7x = p

<u>b method</u>

28x = 4p

28x/4 = 4p/4

7x = p

First of all you have to find the missing measurements. The actual measurements for the angles in the hexagon are not given, but they give you an expression. You have to solve for x first so that you can plug it in and find the angle measurement. You have to equal the two sides that are given to you like this: 20x+48=33x+9. You solve for x and then plug it into each angle measurement. This should give you 108. Since it is a regular hexagon all of the sides are equal. If you look at the angle at the top of the hexagon you'll see two triangles and the angle. Since it lies on a straight line, it is all equal to 180. You already have the angle measurement of the hexagon and are missing the triangles. So 180-108=72. 72 is the missing part of the angle. You divide this by 2 in order to find each triangle angle measurements. the answer is 36 degrees.

postnew [5]
<span>For the question "Mike's closing costs will add up to 4 percent and he'll make a down payment of 20 percent on a house that costs $210,000. Over the life of his loan, he will pay $197,040.76 in monthly payments. What is the total cost of his house?" To obtain the total cost of the house, we first obtain the amount he paid as the closing costs and the down payment he paid which we will add to the total amount paid in monthly payments. Closing cost = 4% of $210,000 = 0.04 x 210,000 = $8,400 Down payment = 20% of $210,000 = 0.2 x 210,000 = $42,000 Total monthly payments = $197,040.76 Total cost of the house = $8,400 + $42,000 + $197,040.76 = $247,440.76</span>
