Answer:

The turns of a graph is represented by the number of maximum or minimum that the function has.

If we differenciate f(x) we get:

f'(x)=4x^3+6x

f'(x)=2x(2x^2 + 3)

Therefore f'(x) =0, when x=0. Given that negative roots are not defined.

Therefore, the number of turns will be given by the number of solutions of f'(x) which is 1.

Attached you find the graph of the function which confirms the number of turns.

If the function had other solutions, the maximum number of turns it could have is 3! because f'(x) is a third degree polynomial, therefore it can't have more than 3 solutions!

The projectile motion of an object can be modeled using s(t)=gt^2+v0t+s0, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is the t

RSB [31]

Answer:

S(t) = -4.9t^2 + Vot + 282.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the rocket is launched from the ground, So = 0 and S(t) = 0

Using s(t)=gt^2+v0t+s0 to get time t

Where g acceleration due to gravity = -4.9m/s^2. and

initial velocity = 39.2 m/a

0 = -4.9t2 + 39.2t

4.9t = 39.2

t = 8s

Substitute t in the model equation

S(t) = -49(8^2) + 3.92(8) + So

Let S(t) =0

0 = - 313.6 + 31.36 + So

So = 282.24m

The equation that can be used to model the height of the rocket after t seconds will be:

S(t) = -4.9t^2 + Vot + 282.24

A motorboat travels 165 kilometers in 3 hours going upstream and 510 kilometers in 6 hours going downstream. What is the rate of

nikitadnepr [17]

<h3>Rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that,

A motorboat travels 165 kilometers in 3 hours going upstream and 510 kilometers in 6 hours going downstream

Therefore,

Upstream distance = 165 km

Upstream time = 3 hours

<h3>Find upstream speed:</h3>

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}\\\\speed = \frac{165}{3}\\\\speed = 55$

Thus upstream speed is 55 km per hour

Downstream distance = 510 km

Downstream time = 6 hours

<h3>Find downstream speed:</h3>

$speed = \frac{510}{6}\\\\speed = 85$

Thus downstream speed is 85 km per hour

If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then

Speed downstream = u + v km/hr

Speed upstream = u - v km/hr

Therefore,

u + v = 85 ----- eqn 1

u - v = 55 ----- eqn 2

Solve both

Add them

u + v + u - v = 85 + 55

2u = 140

u = 70

Substitute u = 70 in eqn 1

70 + v = 85

v = 85 - 70

v = 15

Thus rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr

What is the simplest form of

marusya05 [52]

Factor the numerator and factor the denominator.

$\frac{x^2 + 5x - 36}{x^2 - 16} = \frac{(x +9)(x - 4)}{(x + 4)(x - 4)} = \frac{x+9}{x+4}$

Then you divide the numerator and the denominator by the common factor to reduce the fraction.
