the stopping distance of an automobile is directly proportional to the square of its speed v. a car required 90 feet to stop whe

n its speed was 70 miles per hour. find a mathematical model that gives the stopping distance d in terms of its speed v. Estimate the stopping distance if the brakes are applied when the car is traveling at 71 miles per hour.

First we write the mathematical model in a generic way:
 "The stopping distance of an automobile is directly proportional to the square of its speed v"
 d = kv ^ 2
 Where,
 k: proportionality constant.
 We now look for the value of K:
 d = kv ^ 2
 90 = k ((70) * (5280/3600)) ^ 2
 k = 90 / ((70) * (5280/3600)) ^ 2
 k = 0.008538539 s ^ 2 / feet
 The equation will then be:
 d = (0.008538539) * v ^ 2
 For v = 71 miles per hour we have:
 d = (0.008538539) * ((71) * (5280/3600)) ^ 2
 d = 92.6 feet
 Answer:
 a mathematical model that gives the stopping distance in terms of its speed v is:
 d = (0.008538539) * v ^ 2
 The stopping distance if the brakes are applied when the car is traveling at 71 miles per hour is:
 d = 92.6 feet

So you have to subtract 115 from 15. Then you divide that number by 5 for each relative. That should give you your answer....$20

\large \mathfrak{Solution : }

As we know :

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient ( taking remainder as 0 )

So, Quotient = Dividend ÷ Divisor

by using the above relation we can say :

  • q = t ÷ 23

therefore, correct option is C. t ÷ 23

The length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 hours and a standard devi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = length of time

u = mean time

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 2.5 hours

s = 0.25 hours

We want to find the probability that the sample mean is between two hours and three hours.. It is expressed as

P(2 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 3)

For x = 2,

z = (2 - 2.5)/0.25 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02275

For x = 3,

z = (3 - 2.5)/0.25 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.97725

P(2 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 3)

= 0.97725 - 0.02275 = 0.9545

X-Intercepts?
valkas [14]

Answer:

x-ints:  (2,0) & (4,0)

y-int:  (0,-8)

vertex: (3,1)  *highest point of the graph

line of symmetry: x = 3  *x-value in the middle of x-ints

a value is -#  *if parabola points done it's negative, if it points up it's positive

Solve a) 2(x+3)=x-4 b) 4(5x-2)=2(9x+3)
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

a) -10 b) 7

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 2(x+ 3) = x - 4

2x + 6 = x - 4

2x - x = -6 - 4

x = -10

b) 4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)

20x - 8 = 18x + 6

20x - 18x = 6 + 8

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7
