Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of 8 hours, the car and truck were 1048 miles apart. So they were traveling 1048/8 = 131 miles per hour apart.

The car traveled 19 miles per hour faster than the truck. So car speed = truck speed + 19

Substituting, truck speed + truck speed + 19 = 131

2x truck speed = 112

Truck speed = 56 miles per hour

Car speed = 56 + 19 = 75 miles per hour

Truck speed be x
car travel at x+19
they travel in opposite directions
so the separation is (x+x+19) * no. of hours
1048 = (2x+19)*8
x = ((1048/8) - 19)/2
=56

truck speed is 56 miles per hour
car speed is 56+19 = 75 miles per hour

Feliz [49]

Answer: Anna could buy 5 sweatshirts for $75.

Step-by-step explanation:

lets figure out the price of one sweatshirt.

45/3 = 15

one sweatshirt is $15

5*15=75

so 5 sweatshirts cost $75

Based on the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, how many complex roots does each of the following equations have? Write your answer
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

2, 2, 4, 6, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that 'An 'n' degree polynomial will have n number of real roots'.

1. The polynomial is given by x(x^2-4)(x^2+16) = 0

So, on simplifying we get that, x(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+16)=0.

Since, degree of polynomial is 5, it will have 5 roots.

This gives us that the roots of the equation are x = 0, -2, 2, 4i and -4i

So, the number of complex roots are 2.

2. The polynomial is given by (x^2+4)(x+5)^2 = 0

Since, degree of polynomial is 4, it will have 4 roots.

Equating them both by zero, (x^2+4)= 0 and  (x+5)^2=0 gives that the roots of the polynomial are x = 2i, -2i, -5, -5.

So, the number of complex roots are 2.

3. The polynomial is given by x^6-4x^5-24x^2+10x-3=0

Since, degree of polynomial is 6, it will have 6 roots.

On simplifying, we get that the real roots of the polynomial are x = -1.75 and x = 4.28.

So, the number of complex roots are 6-2 = 4.

4. The polynomial is given by x^7+128=0

Since, degree of polynomial is 7, it will have 7 roots.

On simplifying, we get that the only real root of the polynomial is x = -2.

So, the number of complex roots are 7-1 = 6.

5. The polynomial is given by (x^3+9)(x^2-4)=0

Since, degree of polynomial is 5, it will have 5 roots.

Simplifying the equation gives (x+2)(x-2)(x+\sqrt[3]{9})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{9x}+9^{\frac{2}{3}})=0

Equating each to 0, we get the real roots of the polynomial is x=-3^{\frac{2}{3}}

So, the number of complex roots are 5-1 = 4

A circle with radius of \greenD{6\,\text{cm}}6cmstart color #1fab54, 6, start text, c, m, end text, end color #1fab54 sits insid
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: 141 cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two circles:

Cirlce 1, with a radius r=6 cm and area A_{1}:

A_{1}=\pi r^{2}

And Cicle 2, with a radius R=9 cm and area A_{2}:

A_{1}=\pi R^{2}

Since Circle 1 is inside Circle 2 and assuming the area of the shaded region is the shown in the attached image, its area is:

A=A_{2}-A_{1}=\pi R^{2}-\pi r^{2}

A=\pi (R^{2}- r^{2})

A=\pi ((9cm)^{2}- (6cm)^{2})

Finally:

A=141.37 cm^{2} \approx 141 cm^{2}
