Answer: -2, 1, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

N is the term number

For the first term, it is 3 multiplied by 1, minus 5, or -2

For the second term, it is 3 multiplied by 2, minus 5, or 1

For the third term, it is 3 multiplied by 3, minus 5, or 4

In a free-fall experiment, an object is dropped from a height of h = 400 feet. A camera on the ground 500 ft from the point of i

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Hmmm the object, is at rest, when dropped, so it has a velocity of 0 ft/s

the only force acting on the object, is gravity, using feet will then be -32ft/s²,

was wondering myself on -32 or 32.. but anyhow... we'll settle for the negative value, since it seems to be just a bit of convention issues

so, we'll do the integral to get v(t) then

$\bf \displaystyle \int -32\cdot dt\implies -32t+C
\\\\\\
\textit{object moves from \underline{rest}, so velocity is 0 at 0secs}
\\\\\\
-32(0)+C=0\implies C=0\implies \boxed{v(t)=-32t}
\\\\\\
\textit{now to get the positional s(t)}
\\\\\\
\displaystyle \int -32t\cdot dt\implies -16t^2+C
\\\\\\
\textit{the initial \underline{position} was 400ft away at 0secs}
\\\\\\
-16(0)^2+C=400\implies C=400\implies \boxed{s(t)=-16t^2+400}$

when will it reach the ground level? let's set s(t) = 0

$\bf s(t)=-16t^2+400\implies 0=-16t^2+400\implies \cfrac{-400}{-16}=t^2
\\\\\\
25=t^2\implies \boxed{5=t}$

Hello people ~

Luden [163]

Cone details:

height: h cm

radius: r cm

Sphere details:

radius: 10 cm

================

From the endpoints (EO, UO) of the circle to the center of the circle (O), the radius is will be always the same.

Using Pythagoras Theorem

(a)

TO² + TU² = OU²

(h-10)² + r² = 10² [insert values]

r² = 10² - (h-10)² [change sides]

r² = 100 - (h² -20h + 100) [expand]

r² = 100 - h² + 20h -100 [simplify]

r² = 20h - h² [shown]

r = √20h - h² ["r" in terms of "h"]

(b)

volume of cone = 1/3 * π * r² * h

===========================

$\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} * \pi * (\sqrt{20h - h^2})^2 \ ( h)$

$\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} * \pi * (20h - h^2) (h)$

$\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} * \pi * (20 - h) (h) ( h)$

$\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi h^2(20-h)$

To find maximum/minimum, we have to find first derivative.

(c)

First derivative

$\Longrightarrow \sf V' =\dfrac{d}{dx} ( \dfrac{1}{3} \pi h^2(20-h) )$

apply chain rule

$\sf \Longrightarrow V'=\dfrac{\pi \left(40h-3h^2\right)}{3}$

Equate the first derivative to zero, that is V'(x) = 0

$\Longrightarrow \sf \dfrac{\pi \left(40h-3h^2\right)}{3}=0$

$\Longrightarrow \sf 40h-3h^2=0$

$\Longrightarrow \sf h(40-3h)=0$

$\Longrightarrow \sf h=0, \ 40-3h=0$

$\Longrightarrow \sf h=0,\:h=\dfrac{40}{3}$

maximum volume: when h = 40/3

$\sf \Longrightarrow max= \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (\dfrac{40}{3} )^2(20-\dfrac{40}{3} )$

$\sf \Longrightarrow maximum= 1241.123 \ cm^3$

minimum volume: when h = 0

$\sf \Longrightarrow min= \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (0)^2(20-0)$

$\sf \Longrightarrow minimum=0 \ cm^3$

Describe a single transformation that maps triangle ABC to triangle A"B"C" :)

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

To describe a sequence of transformations that maps triangle ABC onto triangle A"B"C", a student starts with a reflection over the x-axis. The student completes the sequence of transformations to map triangle ABC to triangle A"B"C" by translating the figure 2 units to the right. Translate the figure 6 units up.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this is helpful to you
