A bullet is shot straight upward with an initial speed of 925 ft/s. The height of the bullet after t seconds is modeled by the f

unction h(t) = −16t2 + 925t where h is measured in feet. Use the function h to find the average speed of the bullet during the given time intervals

Answer:

462 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the bullet is modeled by:

h(t) = -16t² + 925t------------------------------------ (1)

The speed of the bullet is modeled by the first derivative of equation (1)

dh/dt= -32t + 925------------------------------------ (2)

At maximum height, dh/dt = 0

0 = -32t + 925

32t = 925

t = 925/32

= 28.91 seconds

This means that the total time to reach maximum height is 28.91 seconds

Substituting into equation (1) we can calculate the maximum height:

h = -16 (28.91)² +925 (28.91)

= -13,372.61 + 26,742.675

= 13,367.065 ‬ft

Average speed = Total distance/ Total time

= 13,367.065/28.91

= 462.368

≈ 462 ft/s

What is the true solution to the equation below?

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

some rules of logarithmic function

$ln(a) - ln(b)=ln(\frac{a}{b})$

$e^{ln(a)}=a$

$ln(a)^{n}=nln(a)$ vice-versa $nln(a)=ln(a)^{n}$

If ㏑(a) = ㏑(b), then a = b

∴ $2ln(e^{ln(2x)})-ln(e^{ln(10x)})=ln(30)$

Use the 2nd rule to simplify it

$e^{ln(2x)}=2x\\e^{ln(10x)}=10x\\$

2㏑(2x) - ㏑(10x) = ㏑(30)

Use the 3rd rule in the 1st term

∵ 2㏑(2x) = ㏑(2x)² = ㏑(4x²)

∴ ㏑(4x²) - ㏑(10x) = ㏑(30)

- Use the 1st rule with the left hand side

$ln(4x^{2})-ln(10x)=ln(\frac{4x^{2}}{10x})\\\\ln(\frac{4x^{2}}{10x})=ln(30)\\\\ \frac{4x^{2}}{10x}=\frac{2x}{5}=\frac{2}{5}x\\\\ ln(\frac{2}{5}x)=ln(30)$

Use the 4th rule

$\frac{2}{5} x = 30$

Multiply both sides by 5

∴ 2 x = 150

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 75

The value of x = 75

If f(t)= 3t^2-2, find f(k-2)

DedPeter [7]

By plugging (k-2) in t, we can write that
$f(k-2)=3(k-2)^{2}-2=3(k^{2}-4k+4)-2=3 k^{2}-12k+12-2=$ $3 k^{2}-12k+10$

The life, in years, of a certain type of electrical switch has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44. If 100 o

Bond [772]

Answer:

0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the time that a switch will survive.

If X has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44, then the probability that a switch will survive less than n years is given by

$\bf P(X$

So, the probability that a switch fails in the first year is

$\bf P(X$

Now we have 100 of these switches installed in different systems, and let Y be the random variable that measures the the probability that exactly k switches will fail in the first year.

Y can be modeled with a binomial distribution where the probability of “success” (failure of a switch) equals 0.0225 and

$\bf P(Y=k)=\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}$

where

$\bf \binom{100}{k}$ equals combinations of 100 taken k at a time.

The probability that at most 15 fail during the first year is

$\bf \sum_{k=0}^{15}\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}=0.9999$

A car travels 17 miles on one gallon of gas.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

$y$ ranges from 2890 miles to 5780 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call $y$ the number of miles the car travels, and $x$ the number of gallons of gas that are used, then we have the relationship

$y=17x$ <em>(this says the car travels 17 miles for each gallon of gas).</em>

Now, when $x=170$ , we have

$y=17(170)$

$y=2890\: miles$

and when $x=340$ , we have

$y=17(340)$

$y=5780\:miles$

So, when $x$ goes from 170 to 340, $y$ goes from $2890$ to $5780$ .

Therefore, when $x$ ranges from 170 to 340 gallons, the distance traveled ranges from 2890 to 5780 miles.
