The stopping distance of a car is modeled by the function d = 0.05r(r + 2) where d is the stopping distance of the car measured

in feet and r is the speed of the car in miles per hour. If skid marks left on the road are 75 feet long, how fast was the car traveling?

Answer:

The car was moving approximately at a speed of 37.74 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The stopping distance of a car is given by

d = 0.05r(r + 2)

where d is the stopping distance in feet and r is speed of the car in miles per hour.

The stopping distance is 75 feet, we have to find the speed of the car,

Putting d = 75 in the equation, we get,

75 = 0.05r(r + 2)\\r^2 + 2r = 1500\\r^2 + 2r-1500 = 0\\\\r =\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{4-(4)(1)(-1500)}}{2}\\\\r\approx -39.74,37.74

Thus, the car was moving approximately at a speed of 37.74 miles per hour.

Scholar #2 is correct. You take 15=-3m-18+5m-7 and combie like terms. Which will leave you with 15=2m-25. You will simplify from there, getting 20=m.

What is the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence –7.5, –9, –10.5, –12...
natita [175]

Answer:

= - 1.5n - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sequence is arithmetic with n th term ( explicit formula

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 7.5 and d = - 9 - (- 7.5) = - 9 + 7.5 = - 1.5

= - 7.5 - 1.5(n - 1) = - 7.5 - 1.5n + 1.5 = - 1.5n - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The process of cellular respiration takes place in the mitrochondria.
2) The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts. Only plant cells and the cells of autotrophic protists and some bacteria undergo this process.
3) Phospholipids are lipids that consist of glycerol joined to two fatty acids and a phosphate group, which gives this molecule two nonpolar hydrophobic tails and a polar hydrophilic head. Phospholipids form bilayers that are used to make up biological membranes.
4)While there are definitely many more than 4 important molecules, I'm assuming the ones you are looking for are carbohydrates, proteins, Nucleic acids, and lipids.
5)A molecule is made up of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds, whereas a compound is a substance containing two or more elements in a fixed ratio. Both molecules and compounds are made up of atoms/elements, however, compounds MUST be made up of two different kinds of elements, while molecules could consist of the same kind.

Hope this helps! :)
