Let's take this one at a time starting from the brother's net income because this would be the root basis. We let x be the number of lawns his brother and Tom mowed.

Brother's Net Income = 32x - 12x = 20x

Mitch promises to pay the borrowed money of $500 plus 40% of what his brother earns. The algebraic equation for this is:

Mitch's payment = $500 + 0.4(20x) = $500 +$8x

Evaluate f(x) = X(With an exponent of 2) -3x +2, given f(x + 1).

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

f(x + 1) = x² - x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² - 3x + 2 when f(x + 1)

f(x + 1) = (x + 1)² - 3(x + 1) + 2

f(x + 1) = (x² + 2x + 1) + (-3x - 3) + 2

f(x + 1) = x² - x + 0

f(x + 1) = x² - x

Best of Luck!

A certain club has 20 members. What is the ratio of the number of 5-member committees that can be formed from the members of the

MissTica

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination question.

In the first instance, we select 5 from 20 and in the second case , we select 4 from 20.

The total number of ways to solve the first instance is 20C5 = 15504 ways

The total number of ways to solve the second instance is 20C4 = 4,845

The ratio of the first to the second scenario is 15,504/4,845 = 3.2 = 16 to 5

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.
