16/21 is the correct answer
Answer:
The distance between the astronomers and the moon was
meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the speed is the distance divided by the time, so:

In this problem, we have that:
The reflected laser beam was observed by the astronomers 2.52 s after the laser pulse was sent. This means that
.
If the speed of light is 3.00 times 10^8 m/s, what was the distance between the astronomers and the moon?
We have that
m/s.
We have to find d. So:



![7.56*10^{8]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7.56%2A10%5E%7B8%5D)
The distance between the astronomers and the moon was
meters.
The slope of a function at a point is the value of its derivative there.
... f'(x) = 5·(2x) + 0 = 10x . . . . . . using the power rule: (d/dx)(xⁿ) = n·xⁿ⁻¹
Then
... f'(4) = 10·4 = 40 . . . . . the slope at x=4
