Given the position of the particle, what the position(s) of the particle when it’s at rest

The position function of a particle is given by:

X\mleft(t\mright)=\frac{2}{3}t^3-\frac{9}{2}t^2-18t

The velocity function is the derivative of the position:

\begin{gathered} V(t)=\frac{2}{3}(3t^2)-\frac{9}{2}(2t)-18 \\ \text{Simplifying:} \\ V(t)=2t^2-9t-18 \end{gathered}

The particle will be at rest when the velocity is 0, thus we solve the equation:

2t^2-9t-18=0

The coefficients of this equation are: a = 2, b = -9, c = -18

Solve by using the formula:

t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Substituting:

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81-4(2)(-18)}}{2(2)} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81+144}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{225}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm15}{4} \end{gathered}

We have two possible answers:

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{9+15}{4}=6 \\ t=\frac{9-15}{4}=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}

We only accept the positive answer because the time cannot be negative.

Now calculate the position for t = 6:

A train leaves Los Angeles at 2 p.m. heading north at 50 mph. If the next train leaves three hours later and also heads north at
Mamont248 [21]
Since the first train has been travelling for 3 hours, we have the following equations:
d=50t+3*50=50t+150
d=60t

We want to know when they will be equal, so set these equal to eachother:
60t=50t+150
10t=150
t=15

So 15 hours after the second train leaves, they will be at the same distance. This is at 8AM since the second train leaves at 5PM.

A. 4*1 - 3*2 = 4 - 6 = -2 (X
B. 4*4 - 3*2 = 16 - 6 = 10 (O
C. 4*7 - 3*6 = 28 - 18 = 10 (O
D. 4*4 - 3*(-3) = 16 + 9 = 25 (X

so the answers are B and C

Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken.If x equals the number of slots in a row explain how the expression
Paul [167]

Answer:

The total number of unbroken / working slots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken

Also given that the number of slots in a row is x

1 row has x slots

3 rows has y slots

on cross multiplication we get y = 3x

ie there are a total of 3x slots in the 3 rows

Given that out of these 3x slots 5 . of the slots are broken

Therefore the total number of working slots = total number of slots - number of slots which are broken

total number of working slots are = 3x - 5

Therefore the given expression is the number of working / good slots
