Alex is practicing his dives at a pool. He dives from a dividing board that is 21 feet above the surface of the water. His dive

takes him 17 feet below the surface of the water. Alex says that the two distances are opposite, so his total dive distance is 22 + (-17) = 5 feet. Is Alex correct? How far did he travel if he is wrong?

Answer:

NO. Alex was wrong.  

The total dive distance is 21 + 17 = 38 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex was wrong because his direction of diving is from above the water through the surface of the water to under the water.

So his direction of travelling is not opposite but the same.

Therefore the total distance traveled by Alex = distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface + distance traveled from the water surface to down below the water  

Distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface = 21 feet

Distance traveled from the water surface down below the water = 17 feet  

Total distance traveled by Alex = 21 feet + 17 feet

   = 38 feet.

Thus, Alex was wrong because the the total distance traveled by Alex was 38 feet.

Step by step help for 17.5x2.48

Start by writing it out like this:
  17.50
<u>*  2.48 </u> 
Make sure that all the places are in correct order. Notice that I added a ZERO in the place that had nothing there.
Move the decimal point so everything is a whole number. You have moved it 4 times.
Now, starting from 8, multiply it by 0, then 5, then 7, and lastly, 1. Now go to the next number (4) and do the same, this time though, put a zero in the first spot. Every new number, add another zero. 
After you are done, add them up. Now move the decimal point starting from the right and into the number 4 times. Take out the zeros.
Your answer should be: 43.4

Find the number of units x that produces the minimum average cost per unit C in the given equation. C = 0.001x3 + 5x + 250
Ksju [112]

Answer:

50 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the number of units x that produces the minimum average cost per unit C in the given equation.

C = 0.001x³ + 5x + 250

unit cost f(x) = C/x

= 0.001x³/x + 5x/x+ 250/x

f(x) = 0.001x² + 5 + 250/x

f'(x) = 0.002x - 250/x²

We equate the first derivative to zero

0.002x - 250/x² = 0

0.002x = 250/x²

Cross Multiply

0.002x × x² = 250

0.002x³ = 250

x³ = 250/0.002

x³ = 125000

x = 3√(125000)

x = 50 units

Therefore, the number of units x that produces the minimum average cost per unit C is 50 units.
