This is so provided that the velocity changes continuously in which case we can apply the mean value theorem. 
<span>Velocity (v) is the derivative of displacement (x) : </span>
<span>v = dx/dt </span>
<span>Monk 1 arrives after a time t* and Monk 2 too. </span>
<span>Name v1(t) and v2(t) their respective velocities throughout the trajectory. </span>
<span>Then we know that both average velocities were equal : </span>
<span>avg1 = avg2 </span>
<span>and avg = integral ( v(t) , t:0->t*) / t* </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>integral (v1(t), t:0->t*) = integral (v2(t), t:0->t*) </span>
<span>which is the same of saying that the covered distances after t* seconds are the same </span>
<span>=> integral (v1(t) - v2(t) , t:0->t*) = 0 </span>
<span>Thus, name v#(t) = v1(t) - v2(t) , then we obtain </span>
<span>=> integral ( v#(t) , t:0->t*) = 0 </span>
<span>Name the analytical integral of v#(t) = V(t) , then we have </span>
<span>=> V(t*) - V(0) = 0 </span>
<span>=> V(t*) = V(0) </span>
<span>So there exist a c in [0, t*] so that </span>
<span>V'(c) = (V(t*) - V(0)) / (t* - 0) (mean value theorem) </span>
<span>We know that V(0) = V(t*) = 0 (covered distances equal at the start and finish), so we get </span>
<span>V'(c) = v#(c) = v1(c) - v2(c) = 0 </span>
<span>=> v1(c) = v2(c) </span>
<span>So there exist a point c in [0, t*] so that the velocity of monk 1 equals that of monk 2. </span>

Can someone explain this for me??<br> 4 (c+2) &lt; 4c + 10
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The inequality would be true

Step-by-step explanation:

4(c+2) < 4c + 10

Distribute the 4 on the left

4c + 8 < 4c + 10

Subtract 4c from both sides

8 < 10

8 < 10 is true

What is the range of the function on the graph?all real numbersO all real numbers less than or equal to -1all real numbers less
Yuki888 [10]

The range of the function f(x) is the set of all values that function f takes.

The domain of the function f(x) is the set of all possible values for x.

From the given graph you can see that the domain is all real numbers, x\in (-\infty,\infty).

The maximal y-value that f takes is 3 at x=-1. For all another x from the domain, y is less than 3.

Thus, the range of the given function is y\in (-\infty,3].

Answer:  y\in (-\infty,3].
