$P(x)=(x+a)^5 + (x+c)^5 + (a-c)^5$

If $x+a$ is a factor of $P(x)$ , then $-a$ is a root of $P(x)$ .

Therefore

$(-a+a)^5+(-a+c)^5+(a-c)^5=0\\\\0^5+(-1(a-c))^5+(a-c)^5=0\\\\(-1)^5(a-c)^5+(a-c)^5=0\\\\-(a-c)^5+(a-c)^5=0\\\\0=0$

Kate deposits $800 in a bank

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

$I=P\cdot r\cdot t,$

where

I = interest

P = rpincipal

r = rate (as decimal)

t = time (in years)

In your case,

P = $800

r = 0.04 (4%)

t = 5,

$I=\$800\cdot 0.04\cdot 5\\ \\I=\$160$

Meg found one treasure at − 3 4 foot. Which of these location are higher than − 3 4 foot? Check all that apply. Negative StartFr

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

$\frac{-1}{4}$ and $\frac{-5}{8}$ are the locations higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Meg found one treasure at $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

We are supposed to find Which of these location are higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot?

i) $-\frac{7}{8}$

So, this location is not higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

ii) $-\frac{1}{4}$

So, $-\frac{1}{4}>\frac{-3}{4}$

So, this location is higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

iii) - 1 foot

$-1 < \frac{-3}{4}$

So,this location is not higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

iv)-2 feet

So,this location is not higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

v) $\frac{-5}{8}$

So, this location is higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

Performance task: A parade route must start And and at the intersections shown on the map. The city requires that the total dist

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Part A: The proposed route does not meet requirement because it is longer than the maximum required length of 3 miles

Part B: For the total distance is as close to 3 miles as possible, the start point of the parade should be at the point on Broadway with coordinates (9.941, 4.970)

Part C: The coordinates of the cameras stationed half way down each road are;

For central avenue; (4, 2)

For Broadway; (7.97, 2.49)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The length of the given route can be found using the equation for the distance, l, between coordinate points as follows;

$l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}}$

Where for the Broadway potion of the parade route, we have;

(x₁, y₁) = (12, 3)

(x₂, y₂) = (6, 0)

$l_1 = \sqrt{\left (0 -3\right )^{2}+\left (6-12 \right )^{2}} = 3 \cdot \sqrt{5}$

For the Central Avenue potion of the parade route, we have;

(x₁, y₁) = (6, 0)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, 4)

$l_2 = \sqrt{\left (4 -0\right )^{2}+\left (2-6 \right )^{2}} = 4 \cdot \sqrt{2}$

Therefore, the total length of the parade route =-3·√5 + 4·√2 = 12.265 unit

The scale of the drawing is 1 unit = 0.25 miles

Therefore;

The actual length of the initial parade =0.25×12.265 unit = 3.09 miles

The proposed route does not meet requirement because it is longer than the maximum required length of 3 miles

Part B:

For an actual length of 3 miles, the length on the scale drawing should be given as follows;

1 unit = 0.25 miles

0.25 miles = 1 unit

1 mile = 1 unit/(0.25) = 4 units

3 miles = 3 × 4 units = 12 units

With the same end point and route, we have;

$l_1 = \sqrt{\left (0 -y\right )^{2}+\left (6-x \right )^{2}} = 12 - 4 \cdot \sqrt{2}$

y² + (6 - x)² = 176 - 96·√2

y² = 176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)²............(1)

Also, the gradient of l₁ = (3 - 0)/(12 - 6) = 1/2

Which gives;

y/x = 1/2

y = x/2 ..............................(2)

Equating equation (1) to (2) gives;

176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)² = (x/2)²

176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)² - (x/2)²= 0

176 - 96·√2 - (1.25·x²- 12·x+36) = 0

Solving using a graphing calculator, gives;

(x - 9.941)(x + 0.341) = 0

Therefore;

x ≈ 9.941 or x = -0.341

Since l₁ is required to be 12 - 4·√2, we have and positive, we have;

x ≈ 9.941 and y = x/2 ≈ 9.941/2 = 4.97

Therefore, the start point of the parade should be the point (9.941, 4.970) on Broadway so that the total distance is as close to 3 miles as possible

Part C: The coordinates of the cameras stationed half way down each road are;

For central avenue;

Camera location = ((6 + 2)/2, (4 + 0)/2) = (4, 2)

For Broadway;

Camera location = ((6 + 9.941)/2, (0 + 4.970)/2) = (7.97, 2.49).
