Answer:

<em>At t = 3</em>, pilot can hit the target located at the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given displacement vector:

r(t) = 5 - t, 21 - t², 3-t³/27

so, in this case r(t) and r'(t) should be in the parallel but opposite direction.

In order to get r'(t) we need to differentiate r(t).

<em>r(t) = 5 - t, 21 - t², 3-t³/27 </em>

<em>r'(t) = -1, -2t, -t²/9</em>

Now perform the cross product among these two r(t) and r'(t).

r'(t) x r(t) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\-1&-2t&\frac{-t^{2} }{9}  \\5-t&21-t^{2} &3-\frac{t^{3} }{27} \end{array}\right]

            = i ((-6t + \frac{2t^{4} }{27} )+ ( \frac{21t^{2} }{9} - \frac{t^{2} }{9} )) -j ((-3 + \frac{t^{3} }{27} + \frac{5t^{2} }{9} - \frac{t^{2} }{9} )) + k ((-21 + t^{2}  + 10t -2t^{2}))

           = (\frac{-t^{4} }{27} + \frac{7t^{2} }{3} - 6t )i + (\frac{2t^{3} }{27} - \frac{5t^{2} }{9} +3) j + (-t² + 10t -21)k

In order to find the value of t, we need to put

\frac{-t^{4} }{27} + \frac{7t^{2} }{3} - 6t = 0

-t² + 10t -21 = 0

So, after solving for t, we will get

- ( t-3) (t-7) = 0

t = 3 or t = 7

In this case, only t = 3 satisfies the other two equations as well. t=7 is not satisfying. So take t =3 as the time. and for further assurance, we need to check are our vectors r(t) and r'(t) opposite at t = 3 or not. Let's check it out.

r(3) = 5-3, 21 - 3²,  3 - 3³/27

r (3) = 2, 12, 2

r'(3) = -1, -2(3) , -3²/9

r'(3) = -1, -6 -1

Here, we can easily see that, <em>r(3) = -2 r'(3) which is opposite and hence it is proved that, at exactly t = 3, pilot can hit a target located at the origin. </em>

Graph the inequality.<br> -6 ≤y + 2x &lt; 15
omeli [17]

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. The correct option is B.

<h3>What are inequalities?</h3>

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. Also, it helps us to compare the non-equal expressions so that an equation can be formed. It is mostly denoted by the symbol <, >, ≤, and ≥.


The given inequality -6 ≤y + 2x < 15 can be broken into two small inequality, as shown below.

  • -6 ≤y + 2x
  • y + 2x < 15

Now, if we plot the inequality as shown below, then the area in which both the shaded region overlap is the area of the this inequality.

Hence, the correct option is B.
