A cube is packed with decorative pebbles. If the cube has a side length of 2 inches, and each pebble weighs on average 0.5 lb pe

We can solve this problem by first solving for the total volume of the cube. The formula for volume of cube is given as:

V cube = s^3

Where s is the length of one side which is equivalent to 2 inches. Therefore:

V cube = (2 inches)^3

V cube = 8 cubic inch

 

Assuming that all the pebble fills the cube without any spaces, then the total weight of the pebbles in the cube would simply be:

Total weight = 0.5 lb per cubic inch * 8 cubic inch

Total weight = 4 lb

 

Therefore, the total weight of the pebbles in the cube is <u>4 lbs</u>.

Find the y-coordinate of point M. the midpoint of AB, for A(-3,3) and B(5,7)
Rufina [12.5K]

The y-coordinate of the midpoint, M of the segment AB described by; A(-3,3) and B(5,7) is; 5.

<h3>What is the y-coordinate of the point M which is the midpoint of AB, defined by; A(-3,3) and B(5,7).</h3>

It follows from the task content that the y-coordinate of the midpoint, M of AB defined by; A(-3,3) and B(5,7) is to be determined.

Hence, it follows from coordinate geometry that the y-coordinate of the midpoint is such that;

y = (y(1) +y(2))/2

y = (3 + 7)/2

y = 5.

Ultimately, the y-coordinate of the midpoint of AB; A(-3,3) and B(5,7) is; y =5.

A ball is thrown upward and outward from a height of 77 feet. the height of the​ ball, f(x), in​ feet, can be modeled by f left
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
From the given function modeling the height of the ball:
f(x)=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
A] The maximum height of the ball will be given by:
At max height f'(x)=0
from f(x), 
f'(x)=-0.4x+1.4
solving for x we get:
-0.4x=-1.4
x=3.5ft
thus the maximum height would be:
f(3.5)=-0.2(3.5)^2+1.4(3.5)+7
f(3.5)=9.45 ft

b]
How far from where the ball was thrown did this occur:
from (a), we see that at maximum height f'(x)=0
f'(x)=-0.4x+1.4
solving for x we get:
-0.4x=-1.4
x=3.5ft
This implies that it occurred 3.5 ft from where the ball was thrown.


 c] How far does the ball travel horizontally?
f(x)=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
evaluationg the expression when f(x)=0 we get:
0=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
Using quadratic equation formula:
x=-3.37386 or x=10.3739
We leave out the negative and take the positive answer. Hence the answer 10.3739 ft horizontally.

15 and the error is on step 3

Reasoning:
I’m not certain how they got 1.5 but you basically divide both sides by two, the 2 would be canceled and you would be left with w, divide 30 by 2 and you get w=15, sorry i suck at explaining
