Find the uncertainty in a calculated average speed from the measurements of distance and time. Average speed depends on distance

and time according to this function v(t,x) = x/t. Your measured distance and time have the following values and uncertainties x = 8.1 meters, Δx = 0.9 meters and t = 1.7 seconds and Δt = 1.7 seconds. What is the uncertainty in the average speed, Δv ?

Answer:

\frac{\Delta v}{v}=0.426

Step-by-step explanation:

you have that the average sped is given by the following formula:

v(x,t)=\frac{x}{t}

The uncertainty formula for a division is given by:

\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\sqrt{(\frac{\Delta x}{x})^2+(\frac{\Delta t}{t})^2}        (1)

Δv: uncertainty in speed

Δx: uncertainty in the distance = 0.9m

Δt: uncertainty in time = 0.7s

x: distance = 8.1m

t: time = 1.7s

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\sqrt{(\frac{0.9}{8.1})^2+(\frac{0.7}{1.7})^2}\\\\\frac{\Delta v}{v}=0.426

Hence, the relation between the uncertainty in the average velocity is 0.426

If f(x-3)=x^2-4x+5, what's f(1-x)​
olganol [36]

Answer:

\large\boxed{f(1-x)=x^2-4x+5}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x-3)=x^2-4x+5\\\\f((x-3)+3)\to\text{put x + 3 to the equation of the function:}\\\\f(x-3+3)=(x+3)^2-4(x+3)+5\\\text{use the distributive property and}\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\f(x)=x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2+(-4)(x)+(-4)(3)+5\\f(x)=x^2+6x+9-4x-12+5\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\f(x)=x^2+(6x-4x)+(9-12+5)\\f(x)=x^2+2x+2\\\\f(1-x)\to\text{put 1 - x to the equation of the funtion f(x):}\\\\f(1-x)=(1-x)^2+2(1-x)+2\\\text{use the distributive property and}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

f(1-x)=1^2-2(1)(x)+x^2+(2)(1)+(2)(-x)+2\\f(1-x)=1-2x+x^2+2-2x+2\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\f(1-x)=x^2+(-2x-2x)+(1+2+2)\\f(1-x)=x^2-4x+5

BRAINLIEST ANSWER!!
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1. 30(8.75) + 11t = 400

2. 12.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What is given is you work for 30 hours per week at a gas station for $8.75 an hour. You also work as a landscaper for $11 an hour. You want to a make a total of $400 per week.

30 hours and $8.75 an hour would be equivalent to 30(8.75)

We don’t know how many hours you work as a landscaper but you earn $11 an hour, which is equivalent to 11t

Finally, you want to earn a total of $400 a week, which means the sum equals 400

30(8.75) + 11t = 400

2. 30(8.75) = 262.5

400 - 262.5 = 137.5

137.5 / 11 = 12.5
