You have to substitute 25 for b to simplify the expression.

53(25) -7(25) -6(25) +1
=1325 - 175 - 150 +1
=1001

Let's assume for a moment that we are standing at the origin and the positive y-axis points due North while the positive x-axis

Answer:

The coordinates of his position is (-6,-8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let's assume for a moment that we are standing at the origin and the positive y-axis points due North while the positive x-axis points due East.

North represents the positive y axis, then south will represents the negative y axis.

It is given that the east represents the positive x axis then west represents the negative x axis.

Sasquatch-o-meter tells us that Sasquatch is 6 miles West and 8 miles South of our current position.

6 miles west represents a x=-6 and also 8 miles south represents y=-8

Thus, the coordinates of his position is (-6,-8).

Show that the sum of two concave functions is concave. Is the product of two concave functions also concave?

spayn [35]

Answer with explanation:

Let us assume that the 2 functions are:

1) f(x)

2) g(x)

Now by definition of concave function we have the first derivative of the function should be strictly decreasing thus for the above 2 function we conclude that

$\frac{d}{dx}\cdot f(x)$

Now the sum of the 2 functions is shown below

$y=f(x)+g(x)$

Diffrentiating both sides with respect to 'x' we get

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}\cdot f(x)+\frac{d}{dx}\cdot g(x)\\\\$

Since each term in the right of the above equation is negative thus we conclude that their sum is also negative thus

$\frac{dy}{dx}$

Thus the sum of the 2 functions is also a concave function.

Part 2)

The product of the 2 functions is shown below

$h=f(x)\cdot g(x)$

Diffrentiating both sides with respect to 'x' we get

$h'=\frac{d}{dx}\cdot (f(x)\cdot g(x))\\\\h'=g(x)f'(x)+f(x)g'(x)$

Now we can see the sign of the terms on the right hand side depend on the signs of the function's themselves hence we remain inconclusive about the sign of the product as a whole. Thus the product can be concave or convex.

A car traveling east at 40.0 m/s passes a trooper hiding at the roadside. The driver uniformly reduces his speed to 25.0 m/s in

Anni [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 40 m/s

Final speed of the car, v = 25 m/s

Time taken, t = 3.5 s

(a) We need to find the magnitude and direction of the car’s acceleration as it slows down. It can be calculated using formula as :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$
