A professor uses a video camera to record the motion of an object falling from a height of 250 meters. The function f(x) = –5x2

+ 250 can be used to represent the approximate height of the object off the ground after x seconds. Which is the best estimate for the amount of time elapsed when the object is 120 meters off the ground?

Answer:

The answer is approximately 5.09 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

f(x) = -5x^2 + 250

To find the elapsed time, x, set the equation equal to 120 and solve for x:

-5x^2 + 250 = 120

-5x^2 = -130

x^2 = -130/-5 = 26

x = Sqrt(26) = 5.09 seconds.

A student estimates the weight of astronauts on the moon by multiplying their weight by the decimal 0.16666....what fraction can
Elden [556K]

Let x = 1.66666... ....(1)

Multiply both sides of equation (1) by 10.

10x = 1.666666.... .... (2)

Multiply both sides of equation (1) by 100.

100x = 16.66666....... (3)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (3)

100x - 10x = 16.66666...- 1.66666...

90x = 15

x= \frac{15}{90}  = \frac{1}{6}

Hence, the required fraction form is \frac{1}{6} .... Answer.

Without actually calculating the logarithm, determine what two integers the value of log(1.37×109) falls between.
jok3333 [9.3K]

 

First we need to find out what kind of logarithm rule is given, the given is logarithm product rule which states that a log of a product is equal to the sum of the log of the first base and the log of the second base.

By:

= log (1.37 x 10⁹) = log (1.37) + log (10⁹)

= log (1.37) + 9

= 9 + log (1.37)

In the meantime, 1.37 is between 1 and 10 its logarithm will be between 0 and 1. Thus, the value of log (1.37 x 10⁹) falls between 9 and 10 because when you compose a scientific notation you will always have a number among 1 and 10 by 10 to some power. That power tells you the integer part of the logarithm.

Hailey paid \$13$13dollar sign, 13 for 1\dfrac3{7} \text{ kg}1 7 3 ​ kg1, start fraction, 3, divided by, 7, end fraction, start
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The cost of per kilogram of salami is = $9.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Hailey paid $13 for 1\frac{3}{7} kg of sliced salami.

To find cost per kilogram of salami.

Solution:

We will apply unitary method to find per kilogram cost of salami.

If 1\frac{3}{7} kg of salami costs = $13

Then 1 kg of salami will cost in dollars will be = 13\div 1\frac{3}{7}

In order to divide by mixed numbers, we will convert mixed numbers to fractions.

⇒ 13\div \frac{(7\times1)+3}{7}

⇒ 13\div \frac{10}{7}

In order to divide by fractions we will take reciprocal of divisor and then multiply.

⇒ 13\times \frac{7}{10}

⇒ \frac{13\times7}{10}

⇒ \frac{91}{10}

⇒ 9.1

Thus, cost of per kilogram of salami is = $9.1

What is the expected value of an original Investment of $3,000 that has a 10% chance of ending up with a value of $2,000, an 80%
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original value of  Investment = $3,000

It has a 10% chance of ending up with a value of $2,000.

Chances of loss of $1000 = 0.1

It has a 80% chance of ending up with a value of $3,500.

Chances of profit of $500 = 0.8

It has a 10% chance of ending up with a value of $4,000.

Chances of profit of $1000 = 0.1

Expected change in the value of investment is

Change=(-\$1000)(0.1)+(\$500)(0.8)+(\$1000)(0.1)

Change=-\$100+\$400+\$100

Change=\$400

The expected change in the value of the investment is $400.

The expected value of an original Investment of $3,000 is

\$3000+\$400=\$3400

Therefore, the correct option is C.
