Given f(x)=x^3-2, find the equation of the secant line passing through (-4,f(-4)) and (2,f(2))

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The function is

[tex]f(x)=x^3-2[/tex]

The secant line passing through (-4,f(-4)) and (2,f(2)).

To find:

The equation of the secant line.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]f(x)=x^3-2[/tex]

At x=-4,

[tex]f(-4)=(-4)^3-2[/tex]

[tex]f(-4)=-64-2[/tex]

[tex]f(-4)=-66[/tex]

At x=2,

[tex]f(2)=(2)^3-2[/tex]

[tex]f(2)=8-2[/tex]

[tex]f(2)=6[/tex]

The secant line passes through the points (-4,-66) and (2,6). So, the equation of the secant line is

[tex]y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-(-66)=\dfrac{6-(-66)}{2-(-4)}(x-(-4))[/tex]

[tex]y+66=\dfrac{6+66}{2+4}(x+4)[/tex]

[tex]y+66=\dfrac{72}{6}(x+4)[/tex]

On further simplification, we get

[tex]y+66=12(x+4)[/tex]

[tex]y+66=12x+48[/tex]

[tex]y=12x+48-66[/tex]

[tex]y=12x-18[/tex]

Therefor, the equation of the secant line is [tex]y=12x-18[/tex].

Find a quadratic polynomial verifying f(-3) = – 18, f'(-3) = 16, f''(-3) = - 6.

Answers

Let f(x) = ax ² + bx + c. Then

f '(x) = 2ax + b

f ''(x) = 2a

f (-3) = -18, so

9a - 3b + c = -18

f ' (-3) = 16, so

-6a + b = 16

f '' (-3) = -6, so

2a = -6

Then a = -3, b = -2, and c = 3, so that

The ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys was 4 to 5 if 1,530 students were present how many were girls and how many were boys?

Answers

Answer:

680 girls and 850 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of girls is 4/9

then we can find the number of girls (G) in the group of 1530 students using proportions:

4 / 9 = G / 1530

solving for G by multiplying both sides of the proportion by 1530, we get:

G = 4 * 1530 / 9 = 680

So there were:

680 girls and 1530 - 680 = 850 boys

Answer:

the answer will be

girls 680

boys 850

That’s because taking out the square is taking out an area of 4 feet square. If you substitute the 4 feet square back in, that would fill in the empty spot marked with the 2 feet by 2 feet dimensions. Then, you could treat it like a rectangle of 4 by 3. If you multiply them you’ll get 12 feet square which is your answer. Hope this helps

Calculate the pay for the following day of a weekly time card given a wage of $14/hr

Monday In 0800 Out 1200 In 12:45 Out 17:30

Answers

Answer: $122.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the difference between the time the employee clocked in and clocked out = 1200 - 0800 = 4 hours

The next clock in and out = 17:30 - 12:45 = 4 hours, 45 minutes.

These times combined = 8 hours, 45 minutes

[tex]\frac{45}{60}[/tex] minutes in an hour = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of an hour.

The total time worked was 8 [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] hours.

Multiply 8.75 × $14 = $122.50

Answers

Answer:

1/6x = 45x = $270

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 friends total and for them to make $45 each, you would need to multiply 6 to 45.  The only way you could do this is if you have a fraction supporting the variable.

1/6x = 45

~Multiply 6 to both sides

x = 270

Best of Luck!

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\$ 270}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break this problem down to understand it.

Chad and his friend make an unknown amount of money while selling t-shirts. We'll assign this to a variable, [tex]x[/tex].

After splitting it amongst him and his 5 friends, he wants everyone to have $45.

Therefore, we can multiply the profit per person by the number of people to find how much money has to be made in total.

Chad + 5 people = 6 people

We can write an equation for this problem.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}x=45[/tex]

To solve this, we multiply both sides by 6 to cancel out the [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] (as [tex]\frac{1}{6} \cdot 6 = 1[/tex]).

[tex]45 \cdot 6 = 270[/tex]

Ford and GM pick up trucks are being tested for fuel efficiency, which is commonly measured in miles per gallon (mpg). The fuel efficiency of Ford trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 20 mpg and a standard deviation of 3 mpg. The fuel efficiency of GM trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 24 mpg and standard deviation of 4 mpg. Compute the probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

Answers

Answer:

0.7881 = 78.81% probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Subtraction of normal variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, and the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

The fuel efficiency of Ford trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 20 mpg and a standard deviation of 3 mpg.

This means that [tex]\mu_{F} = 20, \sigma_{F} = 3[/tex]

The fuel efficiency of GM trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 24 mpg and standard deviation of 4 mpg.

This means that [tex]\mu_{G} = 24, \sigma_{G} = 4[/tex]

Compute the probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

This is the probability that the subtraction of ford by gm is less than 0. First, we find the mean and the standard deviation.

[tex]\mu = \mu_{F} - \mu_{G} = 20 - 24 = -4[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_{F}^2+\sigma_{G}^2} = \sqrt{3^2+4^2} = 5[/tex]

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0 - (-4)}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.8[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.8[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7881

0.7881 = 78.81% probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

mean of four numbers a ,b, c, and d is 8 and mean of seven

Answers

Answer:

17 1/3 or 17.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of four numbers a, b, c, and d is 8:

(a + b + c + d)/4 = 8  ⇒ a + b + c + d = 32

Mean of seven numbers x, y, z, a, b, c and d is 12:

(x + y + z + a + b + c + d)/7 = 12

Substitute the sum of 4 numbers:

x + y + z + 32 = 7*12x + y + z = 84 - 32x + y + z = 52

Mean of x, y and z is:

Answer:

angle a = 70

angle b = 45

angle c = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we will try to find the measure of the unknown angle together. Starting with angle b.

Angle b and 135 make a 180 angle together therefore the following expression.

angle b + 135 = 180

b = 45

Now that we have angle be we can try to find angle a. As we know, vertical angles are always equal to one another. Angle a and 70 are vertical to each other.

a = 70

Now that we have angle a and b we can finally find c. A triangle is the a sum of 180 degrees so, a + b + c = 180

70 + 45 + c + 180

c = 65

The portion of the weekday spent at school as a fraction, a decimal and a percent can be represented as 1/3 or 0.333 or 33.3% respectively.

What are Fractions?

Fractions are type of numbers which are written in the form p/q, which implies that p parts in a whole of q.

Here p, called the numerator and q, called the denominator, are real numbers.

Given that,

You spend 8 hours each weekday at school.

Total hours in a day = 24 hours

Fraction of the hours spent = 8/24 = 1/3

Decimal of the hours spent = 0.333

Percent of the hours spent = 0.333 × 100 = 33.3%

Hence the portion of a weekday spent at school is 1/3.

Time(s) at which the velocity is zero:
Acceleration(s) when the velocity is zero:

Answers

Answer:

A) (1 s, 2.3 s)

B) (-4 m/s², 3.8 m/s²)

Step-by-step explanation:

The car's position which is the distance is given by the equation;

s(t) = t³ - 5t² + 7t

A) Velocity is the first derivative of the distance. Thus;

v(t) = ds/dt = 3t² - 10t + 7

At v = 0, we have;

3t² - 10t + 7 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we have;

t = 1 and t = 2.3

Thus, time at velocity of 0 is t = (1 s, 2.3 s)

B) acceleration is the derivative of the velocity. Thus;

a(t) = dV/dt = 6t - 10

At velocity of 0, we got t = 1 and t = 2.3

Thus;

a(1) = 6(1) - 10 = -4 m/s²

a(2.3) = 6(2.3) - 10 = 3.8 m/s

Thus, a(t) at v = 0 gives; (-4 m/s², 3.8 m/s²)
