How would I solve 4-3y=31

1 answer:

4 0

4 - 3y = 31

Subtract 4 from both sides.

-3y = 31 - 4

Simplify.

-3y = 27

Divide both sides by -3.

y = 27/-3

Simplify.

y = -9

~Hope I helped!~

A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in the system of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of 30 ft/s. Its height

Crank

Answer:

a) h = 0.1: $\bar v = -11\,\frac{ft}{s}$ , h = 0.01: $\bar v = -10.1\,\frac{ft}{s}$ , h = 0.001: $\bar v = -10\,\frac{ft}{s}$ , b) The instantaneous velocity of the ball when $t = 2\,s$ is $-10$ feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We know that $y = 30\cdot t -10\cdot t^{2}$ describes the position of the ball, measured in feet, in time, measured in seconds, and the average velocity ( $\bar v$ ), measured in feet per second, can be done by means of the following definition:

$\bar v = \frac{y(2+h)-y(2)}{h}$

Where:

$y(2)$ - Position of the ball evaluated at $t = 2\,s$ , measured in feet.

$y(2+h)$ - Position of the ball evaluated at $t =(2+h)\,s$ , measured in feet.

$h$ - Change interval, measured in seconds.

Now, we obtained different average velocities by means of different change intervals:

$h = 0.1\,s$

$y(2) = 30\cdot (2) - 10\cdot (2)^{2}$

$y (2) = 20\,ft$

$y(2.1) = 30\cdot (2.1)-10\cdot (2.1)^{2}$

$y(2.1) = 18.9\,ft$

$\bar v = \frac{18.9\,ft-20\,ft}{0.1\,s}$

$\bar v = -11\,\frac{ft}{s}$

$h = 0.01\,s$

$y(2) = 30\cdot (2) - 10\cdot (2)^{2}$

$y (2) = 20\,ft$

$y(2.01) = 30\cdot (2.01)-10\cdot (2.01)^{2}$

$y(2.01) = 19.899\,ft$

$\bar v = \frac{19.899\,ft-20\,ft}{0.01\,s}$

$\bar v = -10.1\,\frac{ft}{s}$

$h = 0.001\,s$

$y(2) = 30\cdot (2) - 10\cdot (2)^{2}$

$y (2) = 20\,ft$

$y(2.001) = 30\cdot (2.001)-10\cdot (2.001)^{2}$

$y(2.001) = 19.99\,ft$

$\bar v = \frac{19.99\,ft-20\,ft}{0.001\,s}$

$\bar v = -10\,\frac{ft}{s}$

b) The instantaneous velocity when $t = 2\,s$ can be obtained by using the following limit:

$v(t) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{x(t+h)-x(t)}{h}$

$v(t) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{30\cdot (t+h)-10\cdot (t+h)^{2}-30\cdot t +10\cdot t^{2}}{h}$

$v(t) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{30\cdot t +30\cdot h -10\cdot (t^{2}+2\cdot t\cdot h +h^{2})-30\cdot t +10\cdot t^{2}}{h}$

$v(t) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{30\cdot t +30\cdot h-10\cdot t^{2}-20\cdot t \cdot h-10\cdot h^{2}-30\cdot t +10\cdot t^{2}}{h}$

$v(t) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{30\cdot h-20\cdot t\cdot h-10\cdot h^{2}}{h}$

$v(t) = \lim_{h \to 0} 30-20\cdot t-10\cdot h$

$v(t) = 30\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} 1 - 20\cdot t \cdot \lim_{h \to 0} 1 - 10\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} h$

$v(t) = 30-20\cdot t$

And we finally evaluate the instantaneous velocity at $t = 2\,s$ :

$v(2) = 30-20\cdot (2)$

$v(2) = -10\,\frac{ft}{s}$

The instantaneous velocity of the ball when $t = 2\,s$ is $-10$ feet per second.
