If the acceptable percent error is 2.5%, then the amount it can be over or under 16 oz is 0.4oz.
16 + 0.4
16 - 0.4
16.4 is the greatest, 15.6 is the least

Find the inverse of the function. y = 2x2 –4
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The inverse function is y=\sqrt{\frac{x+4}{2}}


Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is y=2x^2-4.


This function is only invertible on the interval, x\ge 0.


To find the inverse on this interval, we interchange x and y.

x=2y^2-4


We now make y the subject to get,


x+4=2y^2


\Rightarrow \frac{x+4}{2}=y^2


\Rightarrow \pm \sqrt{\frac{x+4}{2}}=y


But the given interval is x\geq 0, This implies that, y\geq 0.


y=\sqrt{\frac{x+4}{2}}

Trapezoidal is involving averageing the heights
the 4 intervals are
[0,4] and [4,7.2] and [7.2,8.6] and [8.6,9]

the area of each trapezoid is (v(t1)+v(t2))/2 times width

for the first interval
the average between 0 and 0.4 is 0.2
the width is 4
4(0.2)=0.8

2nd
average between 0.4 and 1 is 0.7
width is 3.2
3.2 times 0.7=2.24

3rd
average betwen 1.0 and 1.5 is 1.25
width is 1.4
1.4 times 1.25=1.75

4th
average betwen 1.5 and 2 is 1.75
width is 0.4
0.4 times 1.74=0.7

add them all up
0.8+2.24+1.75+0.7=5.49

5.49
t=time
v(t)=speed
so the area under the curve is distance
covered 5.49 meters

Mila reads at a rate of 2 paragraphs per minute. After reading for 3 minutes, she had read a total of 6 paragraphs. This situati
stira [4]

Answer:

(3,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mila reads at a rate of 2 paragraphs per minute. After reading for 3 minutes, she had read a total of 6 paragraphs.

This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in slope-intercept form,  as

y=2x

where 'x' represents the number of minutes and,

y represents the number of paragraphs.  

Since y intercept is 0 i.e. 0 paras in 0 minutes we have the equation as

y=2x

Since no of minutes or paragraphs cannot take negative values this line is defined only in the I quadrant where both x and y are positive

Out of the points given as follows:

(3,6) (2,3) (-3,6) or (-2,6) ,

we can remove last two since they have negative x which is impossible.

Consider  (3,6) (2,3)

Out of these only I point  (3,6) satisfies  y=2x and second point   (2,3) does not satisfy

y=2x

Hence answer is (3,6)
