The vet told Jake that his dog, Rocco, who weighed 55 pounds, needed to lose 10 pounds. Jake started walking Rocco every day and

changed the amount of food he was feeding him. Rocco lost half a pound the first week. Jake wants to determine Rocco’s weight in pounds, p, after w weeks if Rocco continues to lose weight based on his vet’s advice.

Answer: To determine Rocco´s weight jake must use this expression

  • p = 55 - 0.5 w

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

  • Rocco´s initial weight: 55 pounds
  • Pounds lost per week: 0.5 pounds  

So, we have to write an equation where p is Rocco's weight after w weeks.

Each week Rocco will lose 0.5 pounds so the expression is 0.5w, where w is the number of weeks.

Mathematically speaking:

  • p = 55 - 0.5 w

By replacing w by the number of weeks, Jake will obtain Rocco´s weight.

For example, if the number of weeks is 20:

p= 55-0.5x 10

p= 55 - 20

p= 35

After 20 weeks Rocco will lose 10 pounds.

julia-pushkina [17]
<span>Position at t=0.35s is 0.2 m Velocity at t = 0.35s is -0.2 m/s Since this is college level mathematics, the use of the word "acceleration" should indicate to you that you've been given the 2nd derivative of a function specifying the location of point a. And since you've been asked for the velocity, you know that you want the 1st derivative of the function. And since you've also been asked for the position, you also want the function itself. So let's calculate the desired anti-derivatives. f''(t) = -1.08 sin(kt) - 1.44 cos(kt) The integral of f''(t) with respect to t is: f'(t) = (1.08 cos(kt) - 1.44 sin(kt))/k + C In order to find out what C is, we know that at time t=0, v = 0.36 m/s. So let's plug in the values and see what C is: f'(t) = (1.08 cos(kt) - 1.44 sin(kt))/k + C 0.36 = (1.08 cos(3*0) - 1.44 sin(3*0))/3 + C 0.36 = (1.08 cos(0) - 1.44 sin(0))/3 + C 0.36 = (1.08*1 - 1.44*0)/3 + C 0.36 = 0.36 + C 0 = C So the first derivative will be f'(t) = (1.08 cos(kt) - 1.44 sin(kt))/k Now to get the actual function by integrating again. Giving: f(t) = (1.08 sin(kt) + 1.44 cos(kt))/k^2 + C And let's determine what C is: f(t) = (1.08 sin(kt) + 1.44 cos(kt))/k^2 + C 0.16 = (1.08 sin(3*0) + 1.44 cos(3*0))/3^2 + C 0.16 = (1.08 sin(0) + 1.44 cos(0))/9 + C 0.16 = (1.08*0 + 1.44*1)/9 + C 0.16 = 1.44/9 + C 0.16 = 0.16 + C 0 = C So C = 0 and the position function is: f(t) = (1.08 sin(kt) + 1.44 cos(kt))/k^2 So now, we can use out position and velocity functions to get the desired answer: Position: f(t) = (1.08 sin(kt) + 1.44 cos(kt))/k^2 f(t) = (1.08 sin(3*0.35) + 1.44 cos(3*0.35))/3^2 f(t) = (1.08 sin(1.05) + 1.44 cos(1.05))/9 f(t) = (1.08*0.867423226 + 1.44*0.497571048)/9 f(t) = (0.936817084 + 0.716502309)/9 f(t) = 1.653319393/9 f(t) = 0.183702155 So the position of point a at t=0.35s is 0.2 m Now for the velocity: f'(t) = (1.08 cos(kt) - 1.44 sin(kt))/k f'(t) = (1.08 cos(3*0.35) - 1.44 sin(3*0.35))/3 f'(t) = (1.08 cos(1.05) - 1.44 sin(1.05))/3 f'(t) = (1.08*0.497571048 - 1.44*0.867423226)/3 f'(t) = (0.537376732 - 1.249089445)/3 f'(t) = -0.711712713/3 f'(t) = -0.237237571 So the velocity at t = 0.35s is -0.2 m/s</span>

TV−→− bisects ∠RTS. If the m∠RTV=(16x−6)° and m∠VTS=(13x+9)° , what is the value of x and the m∠RTV ?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

x = 5

RTV = 74

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

RTV=16x - 6

VTS=13x+9

Required

Determine the values of x and RTV

Since, TV is a bisector, then

RTS = RTV + VTS --- (1)

and

RTV = VTS -- (2)

Substitute values of RTV and VTS in (2)

16x - 6 = 13x + 9

Collect Like Terms

16x - 13x = 9 + 6

3x = 15

Solve for x

x = 5

Substitute 5 for x in RTV=16x - 6

RTV = 16 * 5 - 6

RTV = 80 - 6

RTV = 74

jose is choosing a 3-letter password from the letters a,b,c,d. the password cannot have the same letter repeated in it. how many
kvasek [131]
Alright, so we are dealing with permutations. Permutations are the number of combinations in a specific order possible for the set. 

There's 4 letters, each one can be paired with 3 other letters, but those letters could be in different orders. To figure out how many variations of each combination there are (aka the number of permutations) use this formula:

_{n}P_{r}= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

r= number of elements in the subset

n= number of elements in the set

P= permutations of the set

There are only 3 elements in the subset because there is 1 that will not be repeated in each set, and there are 4 elements in the set.

Here's the math:

_{n}P_{r}= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

_{4}P_{3}= \frac{4!}{(4-3)!}

_{4}P_{3}= \frac{4!}{(1)!}

_{4}P_{3}= \frac{4(3)(2)(1)}{1}

_{4}P_{3}=24

There are 24 permutations. I can prove this by showing you the model:

ABCD, ABDC, ACBD, ACDB, ADBC, ADCB are the 6 arrangements possible of the set starting with the letter A. Because there are 4 letters, the total amount of permutations without repeated letters is 4 (letters) times 6 (possible arrangements), which equals 24.

Hope this helps!
