A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 3 mi and a speed of 440 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. find the rate a

t which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 4 mi away from the station. (round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

The distance is increasing at a rate that is the speed of the plane multiplied by the cosine of the angle between its flight path and the direct line to the radar station. That cosine is 4/√(3²+4²) = 4/5, so the distance is increasing at
440 mi/h × 4/5 = 352 mi/h

find the value of "a" and "b" for which the limit exists both as x approaches 1 and as x approaches 2:

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

a = 4

b = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the given function is continuous at x = 1

$\lim_{x \to 1^{-}} f(x)=(x+1)$

$=2$

$\lim_{x \to 1^{+}} f(x)=ax+b$

$=a+b$

$\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)=ax+b$

$=a+b$

And for the continuity of the function at x = 1,

$\lim_{x \to 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim_{x \to 1^{+}} f(x)=\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)$

Therefore, (a + b) = 2 -------(1)

If the function 'f' is continuous at x = 2,

$\lim_{x \to 2^{-}} f(x)=ax+b$

$=2a+b$

$\lim_{x \to 2^{+}} f(x)=3x$

$=6$

$\lim_{x \to 2} f(x)=3x$

$=6$

Therefore, $\lim_{x \to 2^{-}} f(x)=\lim_{x \to 2^{+}} f(x)=\lim_{x \to 2} f(x)$

2a + b = 6 -----(2)

Subtract equation (1) from (2),

(2a + b) - (a + b) = 6 - 2

a = 4

From equation (1),

4 + b = 2

b = -2

11000 is compounded semiannually at a rate of 12% for 21 years. Find the total amount in the compound interest account

marishachu [46]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$11000\\
r=rate\to 12\%\to \frac{12}{100}\dotfill &0.12\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{semiannually, thus twice}
\end{array}\dotfill &2\\
t=years\dotfill &21
\end{cases}$

$\bf A=11000\left(1+\frac{0.12}{2}\right)^{2\cdot 21}\implies A=11000(1.06)^{42}\implies A\approx 127127.359416$

Solve for the equation, show all your work. This is an absolute value equation. You need to show both equations and the work for

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

$x=-1$ or $7$

Step-by-step explanation:

We use casework on when $3x-9=12$ and when $3x-9=-12$ .

For the first case, $3x-9=12$ , we add 9 to both sides to get

$3x=21$ .

Dividing both sides by 3 gives

$x=7.$

For the second case, $3x-9=-12$ , we add 9 to both sides to get

$3x=-3$ .

Dividing both sides by 3 gives

$x=-1$ .

Checking both cases, we plug in $x=7$ and $x=-1$ .

For the first case, we have $|3(7)-9|=|21-9|=|12|=12$ , which satisfies the equation.

For the second case, we have $|3(-1)-9|=|-3-9|=|-12|=12$ , which also satisfies the equation.

This gives us two solutions to the equation; $x=7$ and $x=-1$ .
