Measuring the speed of sound in the ocean is an important part of marine research. One application is the study of climate chang

e. The speed of sound depends on the temperature, salinity, and depth below the surface. For a fixed temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and salinity of 35 parts per thousand, the speed of sound is a function of the depth. At the surface, the speed of sound is 1534 meters per second. For each increase in depth by 1 kilometer, the speed of sound increases by 17 meters per second. Use D for depth (in kilometers) and S for the speed of sound (in meters per second), and find a linear formula for S as a function of D.

Answer:

A linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find a linear formula for S as a function of D.

Equation of line : y = mx+c

We are given that At the surface, the speed of sound is 1534 meters per second.

c = 1534

We are given that for each increase in depth by 1 km, the speed increases by 17 m/s

So, Slope = m = 17

Substitute the values in equation

y=17x+1534

x denotes depth

y denotes speed

We are given that Use D for depth and S for the speed of sound

So, S=17D+1534

Hence a linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

Solve for ;x+20/2=3x
Alchen [17]
<span>x in (-oo:+oo)

(x+20)/2 = 3*x // - 3*x

(x+20)/2-(3*x) = 0

(x+20)/2-3*x = 0

(x+20)/2+(-3*2*x)/2 = 0

x-3*2*x+20 = 0

20-5*x = 0

(20-5*x)/2 = 0

(20-5*x)/2 = 0 // * 2

20-5*x = 0

20-5*x = 0 // - 20

-5*x = -20 // : -5

x = -20/(-5)

x = 4 so x= 4</span>

Write the composite function in the form f(g(x)).[Identify the inner function u = g(x)and the outer function
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

a) (g(x), f(u)) = ( 7*√x , e^u )

b)   y ' = 3.5 * e^(7*√x) / √x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The given function:

                                       y = e^(7*√x)

Find:

- Express the given function as a composite of f(g(x)). Where, u = g(x) and y = f(u).

- Express the derivative of y, y'?

Solution:

- We will assume the exponent of  the natural log to be the u. So u is:

                                     u = g(x) = 7*√x

- Then y is a function of u as follows:

                                     y = f(u) = e^u

- The composite function is as follows:

                                    (g(x), f(u)) = ( 7*√x , e^u )

- The derivative of y is such that:

                                    y = f(g(x))

                                    y' = f' (g(x) ) * g'(x)

                                    y' = f'(u) * g'(x)

                                    y' = e^u* 3.5 / √x

- Hence,

                                   y ' = 3.5 * e^(7*√x) / √x

Damian rides his bike 38 miles each week for 15 weeks how many total miles did he ride in 15 weeks
Bond [772]

Answer:

570 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If Damian rides 38 each week and we want to know how much it was for 15 weeks, then we just multiply the two to get 570 miles in a 15 week period.
