The path followed by a roller coaster as it climbs up and descends down from a peak can be modeled by a quadratic function, wher

e h(x) is the height, in feet, and x is the horizontal distance, also in feet. The path begins and ends at the same height, covers a total horizontal distance of 100 feet, and reaches a maximum height of 250 feet. Which of the functions could be used to model this situation?

Answer:

y = -0.1x^2 + 250 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this quadratic equation would have the curve-down form of:

y = -ax^2 + b

where a and b are positive coefficient.

If we let the peak (250 ft) of the curve be at x = 0. Then

y = -a0^2 + b = 250

b = 250

Also at the begins and ends, thats where y = 0, the 2 points are separated by 100 ft. So let the begin at -50 ft and the end at 50ft. We have

-a(\pm 50)^2 + 250 = 0

-a2500 = -250

a = 250/2500 = 0.1

Therefore, the model quadratic equation of our path would be

y = -0.1x^2 + 250 ft

Use the divergence theorem to find the outward flux of the vector field F(x,y,z)=2x2i+5y2j+3z2k across the boundary of the recta
aksik [14]

Answer:

The answer is "120".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

F(x,y,z)=2x^2i+5y^2j+3z^2k \\

differentiate the above value:

div F =2 \frac{x^2i}{\partial x}+5 \frac{y^2j}{\partial y}+3 \frac{z^2k }{\partial z}  \\

        = 4x+10y+6z

\ flu \ of \ x = \int  \int div F dx

              = \int\limits^1_0 \int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^1_0 {(4x+10y+6z)} \, dx \, dy \, dz \\\\ = \int\limits^1_0 \int\limits^3_0 {(4xz+10yz+6z^2)}^{1}_{0} \, dx \, dy  \\\\ = \int\limits^1_0 \int\limits^3_0 {(4x+10y+6)} \, dx \, dy  \\\\ = \int\limits^1_0  {(4xy+10y^2+6y)}^3_{0} \, dx   \\\\ = \int\limits^1_0  {(12x+90+18)}\, dx   \\\\= {(12x^2+90x+18x)}^{1}_{0}   \\\\= {(12+90+18)}   \\\\=30+90\\\\= 120

Find the value of x in the proportion. Check your answer.<br> 35/x=7/13<br> x=?
maks197457 [2]
This is super simple. Begin with cross multiplying


35/x=7/13 becomes (35)*(13)=(7) *(x)

Then multiply my love muffin, you get...

455=7x

divide both sides by 7

65=x
-or-
x=65

hope that helped :)
