Police use the formula: v = √ 20 L to estimate the speed of a car, v , in miles per hour, based on the length, L , in feet, of its skid marks when suddenly braking on a dry, asphalt road. At the scene of an accident, a police officer measures a car's skid marks to be 109 feet long. Approximately how fast was the car traveling? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) of a unit.

Answer: The car was traveling at approximately ____________ miles per hour.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  46.7 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed can be found by substituting the measured skid length for the variable in the formula.

  v = √(20L)

  v = √(20×109) = √2180 ≈ 46.7

The car was traveling at approximately 46.7 miles per hour.

x-intercepts: __________
__________
y-intercepts ___________

Answers

Answer:

(-3, 0) and (1, 0)

(0, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept is the point where y = 0.

y-intercept is the point where x = 0.

or points ...

f(x) = y = -4×|x + 1| + 8

let's start with the y-intercept (x = 0)

y = -4×1 + 8 = -4 + 8 = 4

the y-intercept point (only 1 point) is (0, 4).

for x = 0 the absolute value function contains 0+1. and that is always +1.

the x-intercept(s) :

0 = -4×|x + 1| + 8 (dividing by -4)

0 = |x + 1| - 2

|x + 1| = 2

because of the absolute value we have 2 possibilities :

+(x + 1) = 2

x + 1 = 2

x = 1

and

-(x + 1) = 2

-x - 1 = 2

-x = 3

x = -3

so the points of x-intercept are (-3, 0) and (1, 0)

Rosa invests $1100 in one account and $1300 in an account paying 3 % higher interest. At the end of one year she had earned $255 in interest. At what rates did she invest?

$1100 invested at __%

$1300 invested at __%

Answers

Answer:

$1100 at 9%$1300 at 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of interest earned in one year is the product of the interest rate and the amount invested at that rate. The total interest earned is the sum of the amounts of interest earned on each investment.

Let x represent the lower interest rate. Then the higher rate is x+0.03 and the total interest earned is ...

  1100x +1300(x+0.03) = 255

  2400x +39 = 255 . . . simplify

  2400x = 216 . . . . . . subtract 39

  x = 216/2400 = 0.09 = 9% . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Solve the system using elimination.

2x – 2y = –8
x + 2y = –1

(–3, 1)

(–14, 1)

(0, 4)

(1, 5)

Answers

Answer:

(- 3, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 2y = - 8 → (1)

x + 2y = - 1 → (2)

adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y

3x + 0 = - 9

3x = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 3

substitute x = - 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

substituting into (2)

- 3 + 2y = - 1 ( add 3 to both sides )

2y = 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 1

solution is (- 3, 1 )

Answer:

(–3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Solve for x

2x – 2y = –8 -----------(1)

x + 2y = –1. -------------(2)

Add equation 1 to 2

⇒2x + x| -2y + 2y |= -8 -1

⇒3x = -9

Divide both side by the coefficient of x

⇒3x/3 = -9/3

⇒x = -3

Step 2; Solve for y

Substitute into equation 2

x + 2y = –1

(-3) + 2y = -1

Add 3 from both sides

-3 + 2y + 3 = -1 + 3

2y = 2

divide both side by two

2y/2 = 2/2

y = 1

So, ( x,y) ⇒(-3,1)

Solve the following inequalities if it is known that function f is increasing on its domain f(4x-3)≥f(2-x^2), Df=(-8,4)

Solve the following inequalities if it is known that function f is decreasing on its domain f(5-x^2)≥f(3x-5), Df=(-∞,4)

Answers

The functions f(4x-3)≥f(2-x^2) and f(5-x^2)≥f(3x-5) are quadratic functions

The values of the inequalities are -5 ≤ x ≤ 1 and -5 ≤ x ≤ 2

How to solve the inequalities?

Inequality 1: f(4x - 3) ≥ f(2 - x^2), Df = (-8 , 4)

The function increases at (-8,4).

So, we have:

4x - 3 ≥ 2 - x^2

Rewrite as:

x^2 + 4x - 2 - 3 ≥ 0

Evaluate the like terms

x^2 + 4x - 5 ≥ 0

Expand

x^2 + 5x - x - 5 ≥ 0

Factorize the expression

x(x + 5) - 1(x + 5) ≥ 0

Factor out x + 5

(x - 1)(x + 5) ≥ 0

Solve for x

x ≥ 1 or x ≥ -5

Rewrite as:

-5 ≤ x ≤ 1

Inequality 2: f(5 - x^2) ≥ f(3x - 5), Df=(-∞,4)

The function decreases at (-∞,4).

So, we have:

5 - x^2 ≥ 3x - 5

Rewrite as:

x^2 + 3x - 5 - 5 ≤ 0

Evaluate the like terms

x^2 + 3x - 10 ≤ 0

Expand

x^2 + 5x - 2x - 10 ≤ 0

Factorize the expression

x(x + 5) - 2(x + 5) ≤ 0

Factor out x + 5

(x - 2)(x + 5) ≤ 0

Solve for x

x ≤ 2 or x ≤ -5

Rewrite as:

-5 ≤ x ≤ 2

Hence, the values of the inequalities are -5 ≤ x ≤ 1 and -5 ≤ x ≤ 2

Answers

Answer:

x³/3 - x² + C

Step-by-step explanation:

∫ x² - 2x + 8 dx

= x³/3 - x² + C

when finding the derivative, you need to take the power plus 1 then divide by the power x^(2+1)/(2+1) = x³/3

the same goes for 2x and the 2/2 is 1 so you would get x²

since you are finding the derivative for x and 8 is a constant it equals zero.

when integrating you always need to add C at the end and C stands for a constant. The only time you do not add C is when the integral goes from one constant to the next.

Answers

Finding the p-value of the test using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, it is found that this was a significant difference for levels of significance of 0.02 and lower.

What are the hypothesis test?

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 50.3%, hence:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.503[/tex]

We have a two-tailed test, hence at the alternative hypothesis we test if the proportion is different, that is:

[tex]H_1: p \neq 0.503[/tex]

What is the test statistic?

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\overline{p}[/tex] is the sample proportion.p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis.n is the sample size.

In this problem, the parameters are:

[tex]n = 300, \overline{p} = \frac{171}{300} = 0.57, p = 0.503[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.57 - 0.503}{\sqrt{\frac{0.503(0.497)}{300}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2.32[/tex]

What is the p-value?

Considering a two-tailed test, using a z-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.0203. Hence this was a significant difference for levels of significance of 0.02 and lower.

Which function grows at the fastest rate for increasing values of x?

g(x) = 10x + 15

f(x) = 2•3^x

h(x) = 5x^2 + x + 10

Answers

Answer:

The answer is g(x) = 10x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;g(x) = 10x + 15 f(x) = 2•3ˣ 5x² + x + 10To Find;function grows at the fastest rate for increasing values of x.

Here, If we assume the value of x is 1 we get,

g(x) = 10x + 15

g(1) = 10(1) + 15

g(1) = 10 + 15

g(1) = 35

Here, We get the answer 35.

Now,

f(x) = 2•3ˣ

f(1) = 2•3¹

f(1) = 2•3

f(1) = 6

Here, We get the answer 6.

Now,

h(1) = 5x² + x + 10

h(1) = 5(1)² + 1 + 10

h(1) = + 5 + 1 + 10

h(1) = + 16

Thus, The answer is g(x) = 10x + 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

a volume is created (calculated) by multiplying 3 dimensions (e.g. length, width and height).

am area is created by multiplying 2 dimensions (e.g. length and width).

but a scale factor applies only to any length in the model (but then separately for every dimension of the model).

so, when we multiply 2 dimensions, we have to multiply the scale factor with every dimension (2 times) in there too.

and for 3 dimensions 3 times.

so,

1.

the scale factor 1/100 or 0.01 says that every side of the model cube is 1/100 the side length of the real cube.

and so, while the volume of the real cube is

side × side × side = 3,401,244 ft³,

the volume of the model cube is

side × 1/100 × side × 1/100 × side × 1/100 =

= side × side × side × (1/100)³ =

= real volume × 1/1,000,000 =

= 3,401,244 / 1,000,000 = 3.401244 ft³

2.

the scale factor is 3/4.

that means that it applies to length as well as to width of the floor.

so, the area of the first floor is

length × width = 1,260 ft²

and the area of the second floor is then

length × 3/4 × width × 3/4 =

= length × width × (3/4)² =

= area first floor × 9/16 = 1,260 × 9/16 = 708.75 ft²

What is the approximate total volume of the two largest spheres on the Oriental Pearl Tower?

Answers

The approximate total volume of the two largest spheres on the Oriental Pearl Tower 113105.45 m³.

How to find the volume of a sphere

The volume of the sphere is calculated as follows:

volume = 4 / 3 πr³

where

r = radius

The lower two larger spheres in the tower has a radius of 25 meters and 22.5 meters. Therefore, the total volume of the two largest sphere is as follows:

volume of lower sphere = 4 / 3 × 3.14 × 25³

volume of lower sphere = 196250 / 3

volume of lower sphere = 65416.6666667

volume of lower sphere = 65416.7 m³

volume of higher sphere = 4 / 3 × 3.14 × 22.5³

volume of higher sphere = 143066.25 / 3

volume of higher sphere = 47688.75

volume of higher sphere = 47688.8 m³

The approximate total volume = 65416.7 + 47688.8  = 113105.45 m³
