Answer:

k = 0.005
doubling time ≈ 139 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Matching the form

A = A0·e^(kt)

to the given equation

A = 8·e^(.005t)

we can identify the value of k as being 0.005.

k = 0.005

___

The doubling time is given by the formula ...

t = ln(2)/k = ln(2)/0.005 ≈ 138.63

It will take about 139 years for the population to double.

The horsepower , H(s), required for a racecar to overcome wind resistance is given by the function : H(s) = 0.003s^2+0.07s-0.027

mote1985 [20]

Average rate of change = [H(100) - H(80)] / (100 - 80)
H(100) = 0.003(100)^2 + 0.07(100) - 0.027 = 0.003(10000) + 0.07(100) - 0.027 = 30 + 7 - 0.027 = 36.973

H(80) = 0.003(80)^2 + 0.07(80) - 0.027 = 0.003(6400) + 0.07(80) - 0.027 = 19.2 + 5.6 - 0.027 = 24.773

Average rate of change = (36.973 - 24.773)/(100 - 80) = 12.2/20 = 0.61

Compute the integral (a) int sin (pi x) dx by letting u = pi x. (b) int e^(x/2) dx by letting u = x/2. Show that you got the cor

Maslowich

Answer:

(a) $\int sin(\pi x) dx$ $=-\frac {cos \pi x}{\pi}+c$

(b) $\int e^\frac{x}{2} dx$ $=2e^\frac{x}{2}+c$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

$\int sin(\pi x) dx$

Let u = π x

differentiating with respect to x

du = π dx

$\Rightarrow dx=\frac{du}{\pi}$

Putting the value of x and dx

$=\int sin u \frac{du}{\pi}$

$=\frac{-cos u}{\pi}+c$ [ c is an arbitrary constant]

Now putting the value of u

$=-\frac {cos \pi x}{\pi}+c$

(b)

$\int e^\frac{x}{2} dx$

Let $u=\frac{x}{2}$

differentiating with respect to x

$du= \frac{1}{2} dx$

2du = dx

Putting the value of x and dx

= $\int e^u.2.du$

= $2e^u +c$

Now putting the value of u

$=2e^\frac{x}{2}+c$ [ c is an arbitrary constant]

Point b has coordinates (3,-4) and lies on the circle whose equation is x^2 + y^2= 25. If angle is drawn in a standard position

lakkis [162]

Point B has coordinates (3,-4) and lies on the circle. Draw the perpendiculars from point B to the x-axis and y-axis. Denote the points of intersection with x-axis A and with y-axis C. Consider the right triangle ABO (O is the origin), by tha conditions data: AB=4 and AO=3, then by Pythagorean theorem:

 $BO^2=AO^2+AB^2 \\ BO^2=3^2+4^2 \\ BO^2=9+16 \\ BO^2=25 \\ BO=5$ .

{Note, that BO is a radius of circle and it wasn't necessarily to use Pythagorean theorem to find BO}
The sine of the angle BOA is
$\sin \angle BOA= \dfrac{AB}{BO} = \dfrac{4}{5} =0.8$

Since point B is placed in the IV quadrant, the sine of the angle that is drawn in a standard position with its terminal ray will be 


 $\sin \theta=-0.8$ .
