Answer:

5.0 ft-lbf

Step-by-step explanation:

The force is

F = \dfrac{9}{6^x}

This force is not a constant force. For a non-constant force, the work done, <em>W</em>, is

W = \int\limits^{x_2}_{x_1} {F(x)} \, dx

with x_1 and x_2 the initial and final displacements respectively.

From the question, x_1  =0 and x_2 = 12.

Then

W = \int\limits^{12}_0 {\dfrac{9}{6^x}} \, dx

Evaluating the indefinite integral,

\int\limits \dfrac{9}{6^x} \, dx  =9 \int\limits\!\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^x \, dx

From the rules of integration,

\int\limits a^x\, dx = \dfrac{a^x}{\ln a}

9 \int\limits \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^x \, dx = 9\times\dfrac{(1/6)^x}{\ln(1/6)} = -5.0229\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^x

Returning the limits,

\left.-5.0229\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^x\right|^{12}_0 = -5.0229(0.1667^{12} - 0.1667^0) = 5.0229 \approx 5.0 \text{ ft-lbf}

10 POINTS! At a high school football game, Jamie buys 6 hot dogs and 4 soft drinks for $13. Amy buys 3 hot dogs and 4 soft drink
marusya05 [52]
Lets label hot dogs as 'h' and soft drinks as 'd'

6h + 4d = 13
3h + 4d = 8.50

We can solve by process of elimination.

Subtract the first equation from the second one.

We get:

3h = 4.5

Solve for h

<span>h = 1.5 </span>

<span>That means that the hot dog costs $1.50 which is answer choice </span>D.

<span>Hope that helps :)</span>
