If you run for 0.4 hours at 7 mph, how fast should you walk during the next 0.8 hours to have the average speed of 5 mph?

Answer:

4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of an object is given by the total distance covered by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the total distance covered

t is the time taken

in the first part, the person runs for 0.4 hours at a speed of 7 mph, so the distance covered in the 1st part is

d_1 = v_1 t_1 = (7)(0.4)=2.8 mi

Then the distance covered in the second part is d_2, so the total distance is

d=2.8+d_2 (1)

The total time elapsed is 0.4 hours (first part) + 0.8 hours (second part), so

t=0.4+0.8=1.2 h

So we can write the average speed as

v=\frac{2.8+d_2}{1.2} (1)

We want the average speed to be 5 mph,

v = 5 mph

Therefore we can rearrange eq.(1) to find d2:

d_2 = 1.2v-2.8 = (1.2)(5)-2.8=3.2 mi

And therefore, the speed in the second part must be

v_2=\frac{d_2}{t_2}=\frac{3.2}{0.8}=4 mph

The only solution to |r+3|=1 is -2? true or false
ikadub [295]
True! The absolute Value is just the value of the digit. -2+3=-1. The absolute value of -1 is 1. There is no other combination of numbers that would lead to this answer.

The resquest of the y'+6y=e^4t, y(0)=2
kotegsom [21]
This is a linear differential equation of first order. Solve this by integrating the coefficient of the y term and then raising e to the integrated coefficient to find the integrating factor, i.e. the integrating factor for this problem is e^(6x). 
<span>Multiplying both sides of the equation by the integrating factor: </span>

<span>(y')e^(6x) + 6ye^(6x) = e^(12x) </span>

<span>The left side is the derivative of ye^(6x), hence </span>

<span>d/dx[ye^(6x)] = e^(12x) </span>

<span>Integrating </span>

<span>ye^(6x) = (1/12)e^(12x) + c where c is a constant </span>

<span>y = (1/12)e^(6x) + ce^(-6x) </span>

<span>Use the initial condition y(0)=-8 to find c: </span>

<span>-8 = (1/12) + c </span>
<span>c=-97/12 </span>

<span>Hence </span>

<span>y = (1/12)e^(6x) - (97/12)e^(-6x)</span>

What are the zeros of f(x)=x(x-8)
Flura [38]

Answer:

The zeros are x=0,x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x(x-8)

To find the zeros, we set the equation equal to zero

0 = x(x-8)

Using the zero product property

x= 0  x-8=0

x=0  x=8

The zeros are 0,8
