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.

(a) Using the table, give the values fo rthe inverse


1) original table of values:


x      1     2     3    4    5

f(x)   0     1     1    5    3


2) The inverse of the function is obtained by exchanging x and f(x), this is:


                   ( x, f(x) ) → ( f(x), x)


3) So, the table of values of the inverse of the given function is:


x          0    1     1      5     3

f⁻¹ (x)   0     1     2     3     4


(b) Is the inverse a function?


No, the inverse is not a function, since the table of the inverse shows that the x -value 1 has two different images.


This ambigüity is opposite to the definition of a function, which requires that any input value has only one output. For that reason, the inverse is not a function. You cannot tell whether the image of 1 is 1 or 2, because both are images of the same value.

PLEASE HELP WITH FINDING AREA
AnnyKZ [126]

When you have an irregular figure, you can divide it so that it becomes multiple normal figures. You already did this in the picture, now you just have to find the area of each shape and then add them all together.

From bottom to top:

A=1/2 (b1+b2)h

A= 1/2 (4+2.24)(2)

A= 6.24

(you have two of these on either side)

A=bh

A=6(4)

A=24

A=1/2 bh

A= 1/2 (4)(4)

A=8

(NOTE: there is an error in your drawing. The height of the triangle cant be determined because the 10 value spans over the entire figure when the wings of the rocket are 4 units long and then the body is 6 units long, making it equal 10 already. I'm assuming that the 10 is supposed to go from the bottom of the rectangle to the top of the triangle)

Total figure= 6.24 + 6.24 + 24 + 8

total figure = 44.48
