Round #7 7) In 2018, the United States Postal Service (USPS) raised its rates for mailing letters. The new charge was $0.50 to m

ail a letter weighing up to 1 oz. and $0.21 for each additional ounce. Which function would determine the cost of sending a letter through the USPS? *

We know that

• The new charge was $0.50 to mail a letter weighing up to 1 ounce, and $0.21 for each additional ounce.

Based on the given information, the expression is

$y=0.50+0.21x$

Where <em>x</em> represents additional ounces, and <em>y</em> represents a cost.

<h2>Hence, the function is</h2> $f(x)=0.21x+0.50$

Will uses 3 1/4 ounces each of 5 different types to make fruit smoothies. How many ounces did he use

abruzzese [7]

3 1/4 ounces = 3.25 Ounces.

3.25 x 5 = 16.25 ounces (16 1/4 ounces)

Anyone know 14!!!!! Please help me!!!!!:(

-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;

-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.

I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".

Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:

0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees

You know three points on the line !

(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .

For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .

You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)

So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .

is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .

A particle moves according to a law of motion s = f(t), t ? 0, where t is measured in seconds and s in feet.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) $\frac{ds}{dt}= v(t) = 3t^2 -18t +15$

b) $v(t=3) = 3(3)^2 -18(3) +15=-12$

c) $t =1s, t=5s$

d) $[0,1) \cup (5,\infty)$

e) $D = [1 -9 +15] +[(5^3 -9* (5^2)+ 15*5)-(1-9+15)]+ [(6^3 -9(6)^2 +15*6)-(5^3 -9(5)^2 +15*5)] =7+ |32|+7 =46$

And we take the absolute value on the middle integral because the distance can't be negative.

f) $a(t) = \frac{dv}{dt}= 6t -18$

g) The particle is speeding up $(1,3) \cup (5,\infty)$

And would be slowing down from $[0,1) \cup (3,5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following function given:

$f(t) = s = t^3 -9t^2 +15 t$

Part a: Find the velocity at time t.

For this case we just need to take the derivate of the position function respect to t like this:

$\frac{ds}{dt}= v(t) = 3t^2 -18t +15$

Part b: What is the velocity after 3 s?

For this case we just need to replace t=3 s into the velocity equation and we got:

$v(t=3) = 3(3)^2 -18(3) +15=-12$

Part c: When is the particle at rest?

The particle would be at rest when the velocity would be 0 so we need to solve the following equation:

$3t^2 -18 t +15 =0$

We can divide both sides of the equation by 3 and we got:

$t^2 -6t +5=0$

And if we factorize we need to find two numbers that added gives -6 and multiplied 5, so we got:

$(t-5)*(t-1) =0$

And for this case we got $t =1s, t=5s$

Part d: When is the particle moving in the positive direction? (Enter your answer in interval notation.)

For this case the particle is moving in the positive direction when the velocity is higher than 0:

$t^2 -6t +5 >0$

$(t-5) *(t-1)>0$

So then the intervals positive are $[0,1) \cup (5,\infty)$

Part e: Find the total distance traveled during the first 6 s.

We can calculate the total distance with the following integral:

$D= \int_{0}^1 3t^2 -18t +15 dt + |\int_{1}^5 3t^2 -18t +15 dt| +\int_{5}^6 3t^2 -18t +15 dt= t^3 -9t^2 +15 t \Big|_0^1 + t^3 -9t^2 +15 t \Big|_1^5 + t^3 -9t^2 +15 t \Big|_5^6$

And if we replace we got:

$D = [1 -9 +15] +[(5^3 -9* (5^2)+ 15*5)-(1-9+15)]+ [(6^3 -9(6)^2 +15*6)-(5^3 -9(5)^2 +15*5)] =7+ |32|+7 =46$

And we take the absolute value on the middle integral because the distance can't be negative.

Part f: Find the acceleration at time t.

For this case we ust need to take the derivate of the velocity respect to the time like this:

$a(t) = \frac{dv}{dt}= 6t -18$

Part g and h

The particle is speeding up $(1,3) \cup (5,\infty)$

And would be slowing down from $[0,1) \cup (3,5)$

8. There are 10 balls in a bag numbered from 1 to 10. Three balls are selected at random without replacement.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

a. 720

b. 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Three balls are selected at random without replacement.

First ball can be selected in 10 ways

Second ball can be selected in 9 ways

Third ball can be selected in 8 ways

Thus, there are 10×9×8 =720 different ways of selecting three balls.

b.

There are three cases that satisfy this condition

first ball picked is 5, the others are not
first ball is not 5, second is 5, third is not
first and second ball is not five, third ball is 5

Each probabilities are:

$\frac{1}{10} * \frac{9}{9} *\frac{8}{8} =\frac{1}{10}$
$\frac{9}{10} *\frac{1}{9} *\frac{8}{8} =\frac{1}{10}$
$\frac{9}{10} *\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{8} =\frac{1}{10}$

Thus, one of the balls selected is the number 5 is then $\frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}$
