Problem 4

c = speed of current
p = paddling speed in still water

Against current:
speed = p-c (start with paddling speed and subtract off current's speed)
speed = 2 (given)
p-c = 2
p = 2+c

With the current
speed = p+c (now the current is speeding things up, so we add on c)
speed = 3 (given)
p+c = 3
2+c+c = 3 ... plug in p = 2+c; solve for c
2+2c = 3
2+2c-2 = 3-2
2c = 1
c = 1/2
c = 0.5

Since c = 0.5, we can use this to find p
p = 2+c
p = 2+0.5
p = 2.5

So,
The speed of the river current is 0.5 mph
Rita's paddling speed in still water is 2.5 mph

==================================================

Problem 5

Terms to know:
headwind = wind that slows the plane down (wind is coming from the head of the plane flowing in the opposite direction of the plane's intended direction)
tailwind = wind that speeds the plane up (wind is coming from the tail of the plane flowing in the same direction of the plane's intended direction)

d = distance = 255 miles
p = speed of plane in still air
w = speed of wind

Against the wind (headwind), the plane travels 1.7 hours at some speed p-w. We start with the plane's speed in still air (p) and subtract off the wind speed because the wind is slowing the plane down. So the first equation is
(p-w)*1.7 = 255
since the plane travels 255 miles
I'm using the formula d = r*t
d = distance
r = rate or speed
t = time

Divide both sides of (p-w)*1.7 = 255 by 1.7 and we get p-w = 150
Then add w to both sides and we have p = 150+w

Similarly, the second equation is 
(p+w)*1.5 = 255
since the tailwind speeds the plane up from p to p+w, the time is 1.5 hrs and the distance is the same (255 mi)

Plug the equation p = 150+w into the second equation
(p+w)*1.5 = 255
(150+w+w)*1.5 = 255
(150+2w)*1.5 = 255
150*1.5+2w*1.5 = 255
225+3w = 255
225+3w-225 = 255-225
3w = 30
3w/3 = 30/3
w = 10

Use w = 10 to find p
p = 150+w
p = 150+10
p = 160

So,
wind speed = 10 mph
speed of plane in still air = 160 mph

PSEG Long Island charges its residential customers a little monthly service charge plus an energy charge based on the amount of
german

Using linear function concepts, it is found that:

  • a) It costs $0.1 for each kilowatt hour of electricity used in excess of 250 kWh.
  • b) f(90) = 46.6, which is the cost of 340 kWh of consumption in a month.

------------------------------

A <em>linear function </em>has the format given by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

The equation for the cost of h kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity used in excess of 250 kWh is of:

C = f(h) = 37.6 + 0.1h

Item a:

  • The slope is of m = 0.1, which means that it costs $0.1 for each kilowatt hour of electricity used in excess of 250 kWh.

Item b:

f(90) = 37.6 + 0.1(90) = 37.6 + 9 = 46.6

250 + 90 = 340.

f(90) = 46.6, which is the cost of 340 kWh of consumption in a month.

Does there exist a di↵erentiable function g : [0, 1] R such that g'(x) = f(x) for all x 2 [0, 1]? Justify your answer
agasfer [191]

Answer:

No; Because g'(0) ≠ g'(1), i.e. 0≠2, then this function is not differentiable for g:[0,1]→R

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming:  the function is f(x)=x^{2} in [0,1]

And rewriting it for the sake of clarity:

Does there exist a differentiable function g : [0, 1] →R such that g'(x) = f(x) for all g(x)=x² ∈ [0, 1]? Justify your answer

1) A function is considered to be differentiable if, and only if  both derivatives (right and left ones) do exist and have the same value. In this case, for the Domain [0,1]:

g'(0)=g'(1)

2) Examining it, the Domain for this set is smaller than the Real Set, since it is [0,1]

The limit to the left

g(x)=x^{2}\\g'(x)=2x\\ g'(0)=2(0) \Rightarrow g'(0)=0

g(x)=x^{2}\\g'(x)=2x\\ g'(1)=2(1) \Rightarrow g'(1)=2

g'(x)=f(x) then g'(0)=f(0) and g'(1)=f(1)

3) Since g'(0) ≠ g'(1), i.e. 0≠2, then this function is not differentiable for g:[0,1]→R

Because this is the same as to calculate the limit from the left and right side, of g(x).

f'(c)=\lim_{x\rightarrow c}\left [\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} \right ]\\\\g'(0)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\left [\frac{g(b)-g(a)}{b-a} \right ]\\\\g'(1)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 1}\left [\frac{g(b)-g(a)}{b-a} \right ]

This is what the Bilateral Theorem says:

\lim_{x\rightarrow c^{-}}f(x)=L\Leftrightarrow \lim_{x\rightarrow c^{+}}f(x)=L\:and\:\lim_{x\rightarrow c^{-}}f(x)=L

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 4) and (2, - 1)? A -1
Serggg [28]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1 )

m = \frac{-1-4}{2-(-3)} = \frac{-5}{2+3} = \frac{-5}{5} = - 1 → A

If m=3 = what is the value of 3m?​
Bond [772]

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

M=3 and the equation is 3m so your going to multiply. So the equation would be 3*3 and 3*3=9 so that's your answer
