A kid at the pool goes to jump from the high diving board. He climbs the stairs 3 feet, but he has to wait for the kid in front

of him to go. He climbs up another 5 feet to the diving board, then jumps into the pool, descending 10 feet below the diving board. How far does the kid need to swim up to reach the surface of the water?

Answer:

Probably 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the diving board is 5 feet then it is 10 feet the it equals 5 feet if you half it

Find the number a such that the line x = a bisects the area under the curve y = 1/x2 for 1 ≤ x ≤ 4. 8 5 (b) find the number b s

IceJOKER [234]

a. We're looking for $a$ such that

$\displaystyle\int_1^a\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2}=\int_a^4\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2}$

$-\dfrac1x\bigg|_{x=1}^{x=a}=-\dfrac1x\bigg|_{x=a}^{x=4}$

$1-\dfrac1a=\dfrac1a-\dfrac14$

$\dfrac54=\dfrac2a\implies\boxed{a=\dfrac85}$

b. Integrating with respect to $y$ will make things easier.

$y=\dfrac1{x^2}\implies x=\dfrac1{\sqrt y}$

(where we take the positive square root because we know $x>0$ )

Now we want to find $b$ such that

$\displaystyle\int_0^b\frac{\mathrm dy}{\sqrt y}=\int_b^1\frac{\mathrm dy}{\sqrt y}$

$2\sqrt y\bigg|_{y=0}^{y=b}=2\sqrt y\bigg|_{y=b}^{b=1}$

$2\sqrt b=2-2\sqrt b$

$4\sqrt b=2\implies\boxed{b=\dfrac14}$

2. A boy and his father played 26 games of checkers. For every game the boy lost, he gave his father 5 cents. For every game the

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: the boy won 10 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call B as the number of games won by the boy, and F as the number of games won by the father.

We know that, there is a total of 26 games:

B + F = 26.

We know that in each game won by the boy, he wins 8 cents, for every game that the father wins, the boy losses 5 cents, and we know that at the end of the 26 games, the boy did not win or lose any money, so we have:

B*8 + F*(-5) = 0.

Then we have a system of equations:

B + F = 26

8*B - 5*F = 0.

The first step is isolating one of the variables. Let's start isolating F in the first equation:

B + F = 26

F = 26 - B.

Now we can replace this in the second equation:

8*B - 5*F = 0

8*B - 5*(26 - B) = 0

8*B + 5*B - 5*26 = 0

13*B = 5*26

B = 5*26/13 = 5*2 = 10

So the boy won 10 games (then the father won the other 16 games)

Define a function f on a set of real numbers as follows: f(x) = 3x − 1 x , for each real number x ≠ 0 Prove that f is one-to-one

dalvyx [7]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x}$

For each real number $x\neq 0$

To prove that f is one -to-one.

Proof:Let $x_1$ and $x_2$ be any nonzero real numbers such that

$f(x_1)=f(x_2)$

By using the definition of f to rewrite the left hand side of this equation

$f(x_1)=\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}$

Then, by using the definition of f to rewrite the right hand side of this equation of $f(x_1)=f(x_2)$

$f(x_2)=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}$

Equating the expression then we get

$\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}$

$3x_1x_2-x_2=3x_2x_1-x_1$

$3x_1x_2-3x_1x_2+x_1=x_2$

$x_1=x_2$

Therefore, f is one-to-one.

A circle is centered at the point -3 2 and passes through the point 1 and 5 the radius of the circle is blank units

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The radius of the circle is 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

centered point = (-3 , 2)

a point in the circle = (1,5)

To find the radius of circle we will use the circle equation

(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²,

with the centre being at the point (h, k) and the radius being r.

Plug values in the equation

(1 – (-3))² + (5 – 2)² = r²

(1+3)² + (3)² = r²

4² + 3² = r²

25 = r²

r = √25

r = 5
