A. 3 1/3 min
B. 3 1/2 min
C. 4 1/2 min
D. 5 min
E. 7 min

Answer:

7 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Current speed of Joes Car = 65.5 mph

We have to find the time interval for which the car exceeded the speed limit of 55 mph.

While, we are given that the speed of the car was constantly increasing, hence the speed over all increased from the limit of 55 mph = 65.50-55.00 = 10.50 mph

We are also given that Joes car was increasing speed at a constant rate of 1.50 mph for every passing minute. Hence

1.50 mph is increased in 1 minute

1 mph will be increase in $\frac{1}{1.5}$ minutes

Hence

10.50 mph will be increased in $\frac{1}{1.5} \times 10.50$ minutes

$= \frac{10.5}{1.5}$

$=7$

Hence joes car was exceeding the limit of 55 mph for 7 minutes.

Which expression is equivalent to (16 x Superscript 8 Baseline y Superscript negative 12 Baseline) Superscript one-half?.

loris [4]

To solve the problem we must know the Basic Rules of Exponentiation.

<h2>Basic Rules of Exponentiation</h2>

$x^ax^b = x^{(a+b)}$
$\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{(a-b)}$
$(a^a)^b =x^{(a\times b)}$
$(xy)^a = x^ay^a$

$x^{\frac{3}{4}} = \sqrt[4]{x^3}= (\sqrt[3]{x})^4$

The solution of the expression is $\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$ .

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given to us

$(16x^8y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Solution

We know that 16 can be reduced to $2^4$ ,

$=(2^4x^8y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Using identity $(xy)^a = x^ay^a$ ,

$=(2^4)^{\frac{1}{2}}(x^8)^{\frac{1}{2}}(y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Using identity $(a^a)^b =x^{(a\times b)}$ ,

$=(2^{4\times \frac{1}{2}})\ (x^{8\times\frac{1}{2}})\ (y^{12\times{\frac{1}{2}}})$

Solving further

$=2^2x^4y^{-6}$

Using identity $\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{(a-b)}$ ,

$=\dfrac{2^2x^4}{y^6}$

$=\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$

Hence, the solution of the expression is $\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$ .

The graph of y = tan ⁡(x − π / 2) compared to the graph of y = tan ⁡x has:

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Last Option moved $\frac{\pi}{2}$ units right

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a function f(x) and we want to move it horizontally then we make the transformation:

$y = f (x + h)$

If $h$ then the graph of f(x) moves horizontally h units to the right

If $h> 0$ then the graph of f(x) moves horizontally h units to the left.

In this case we have the function $y = tan (x)$ and the transformation is performed to obtain $y = tan(x- \frac{\pi}{2})$

Notice that in this transformation

$h$

<u><em>Then the graph of $y = tan (x)$ moves horizontally $\frac{\pi}{2}$ to the right</em></u>
