Answer:

25.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

So Bradley's speed can be modeled by the equation y=2x+40 where y=speed, x=time in hours after noon, and b=initial speed

So 12:15 is 15 minutes after noon, which is also 0.25 or 1/4 of an hour after noon. This is the x-value. Plug this into the equation to get his speed at 12:15

y=2(0.25)+40

y=0.5+40

y=40.5

So his speed was 40.5 at the time and since he was going 15 miles over the speed limit, the speed limit is 15 less than his speed

40.5 - 15 = 25.5

Answer:

25.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Bradley increases the speed of his car by 2 miles per hour.
12.00 pm: Bradley's speed = 40 mph
12.15 pm: Bradley is driving at 15 miles over the speed limit.

Calculate Bradley's speed at 12.15 pm:

60 minutes = 1 hour

⇒ 15 minutes = 1/4 hour

⇒ speed at 12.15 pm = speed at 12.00pm + 1/4 of 2 mph

= 40 mph + 0.5 mph

= 40.5 mph

If he was 15 miles over the speed limit at 12.15 pm then:

⇒ speed limit = speed at 12.15pm - miles over the limit

= 40.5 mph - 15

= 25.5 mph

Therefore, the speed limit was 25.5 mph.

Find exact values for sin θ, cos θ and tan θ if csc θ = 3/2 and cos θ < 0.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Part 1) $sin(\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$

Par 2) $cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$

Part 3) $tan(\theta)=-\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the $sin(\theta)$

we have

$csc(\theta)=\frac{3}{2}$

Remember that

$csc(\theta)=\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}$

therefore

$sin(\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$

step 2

Find the $cos(\theta)$

we know that

$sin^{2}(\theta) +cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

we have

$sin(\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$

substitute

$(\frac{2}{3})^{2} +cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

$\frac{4}{9} +cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

$cos^{2}(\theta)=1-\frac{4}{9}$

$cos^{2}(\theta)=\frac{5}{9}$

square root both sides

$cos(\theta)=\pm\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$

we have that

$cos(\theta) < 0$ ---> given problem

$cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$

step 3

Find the $tan(\theta)$

we know that

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

we have

$sin(\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$

$cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$

substitute

$tan(\theta)=\frac{2}{3}:-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$

Simplify

$tan(\theta)=-\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}$

Martin says that f(x)=2(4)^x starts at 4 and has a constant ratio of 2. What error did Martin make? Explain.

grigory [225]

Answer:

A general exponential equation is written as:

f(x) = A*(r)^x

Where:

A is the initial value, this is the value that the function takes when x = 0.

r is the rate of growth

x is the variable.

In this case, the function is:

f(x) = 2*(4)^x

The initial value is:

f(0) = 2*(4)^0 = 2*1 = 2

The initial value is 2.

And the rate of growth is 4.

So Martin seems to mixed these two values (he said initial value = 4, and rate = 2, which is the opposite of what we found)
