An object is dropped from a building and allowed to freefall to the ground. The height of the object over time is shown in the t

The rate of change is constant with the object dropping 1 foot every second. The rate of change is constant with the object dropping 144 feet every second. The rate of change decreases over time. The object is 128 feet above ground after one second, but 80 feet after two seconds. The rate of change increases over time. The object drops 16 feet in the first second, but 80 feet in the last second.

Answer:

The rate of change increases over time.

The object drops 16 feet in the first second, but 80 feet in the last second.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the table,

Time (seconds)  (x)                         Height (feet) (y)

        0                                                144    

        1                                                 128

        2                                                 80

        3                                                  0

Now, Rate of change is equal to the ratio of change in height and change in time.

That is, Rate of change = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}.

So, we find the rate for the different time intervals.

A.. Rate in [0,1] = \frac{128-144}{1-0} = -16 feet per second

B. Rate in [1,2] = \frac{80-128}{2-1} = -48 feet per second

C. Rate in [2,3] = \frac{0-80}{3-2} = -80 feet per second

So, we see that,

<em>The rate is increasing in magnitude over time and in the 1st second, the rate is 16 feet and in the last second, the rate is 80 feet.</em>

Hence, the statements describing rate of change are,

The rate of change increases over time.

The object drops 16 feet in the first second, but 80 feet in the last second.

frez [133]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The key is to find out the entire volume the tank can hold when it is full, then take 2/3 of that amount. The volume of a cylinder is

V=\pi r^2h and filling in:

V=3.14(3)^2(3) (if the diameter is 6 m, the radius is 3) so

V = 84.78 m³ when it is full all the way. If we need the amount that makes up 2/3 of that:

\frac{2}{3}(84.78)=56.52m^3

Simplify -2 1/9 - (-4 1/9)
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest thing is to convert it to an improper fraction.

-2 1/9 turns into -19/9. -4 1/9 turns into -37/9.

-19/9 - (-37/9) here you would add because you are subtracting a negative number.

-19/9 + 37/9 change it to positive and then add.

-19+37=18

it was 18/9. that simplified is 2.

Answer: In particular, let’s focus our attention on the behavior of each graph at and around . 2 and x= -1 for x < 2. There are open circles at both endpoints (2, 1) and (-2, 1). The third is h (x) = 1 / (x-2)^2, in which the function curves asymptotically towards y=0 and x=2 in quadrants one and two."
