Answer:
p(t) = 0 for t = 1
p(t) = 1 for t = 1/8 = 8^-1
Step-by-step explanation:
the graph you will have to do yourself.
just go there and type in

well, don't type "log" in letters.
you start by typing the "-" sign, and then you need to look up the functions by clicking on the "funcs" button and look for the log functions .
pick the

option. and then simply enter 8 as the first parameter in the {} brackets and x as the second in the () brackets.
and then you see.
any logarithm is 0 for x (or t) = 1.
because any a⁰ = 1.
and the logarithm gives you that exponent of the base number that leads to the given x value.
in other words : a logarithm is the inverse function of an exponential function.
the exponential function is
y = a^x
and the logarithm then determines

that is all.
and

means that the logarithm itself delivered -1.
and 8^-1 = 1/8
so, p(t) = 1 for t = 1/8
Answer:
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original length of the piece of metal
y ----> the original width of the piece of metal
we know that
When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box
The dimensions of the box are

The volume of the box is equal to


so

simplify
-----> equation A
Remember that
The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A

solve for y

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is y=16
see the attached figure
Find the value of x

therefore
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
The equation has no solution
It means the speed (velocity) was constant - the object traveled the same distance per time period throughout the graph.
