Given the function {f(x)=32-x}^{2}f(x)=32−x 2 , what is f(-5)f(−5)?

erastova [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

the description is very difficult to understand with special characters and potential typing errors.

I suspect the definition is

function(x) = 32 - x²

function(-5)function(-5) is then very easily calculated.

we need to calculate function(-5) and then square the result, as function(-5)function(-5) is just a simple multiplication of the function results.

function(-5) = 32 - (-5)² = 32 - 25 = 7

so,

function(-5)function(-5) = 7 × 7 = 49

Ex 7) Imagine a mile-long bar of metal such as the rail along railroad tracks. Suppose that the rail is anchored on both ends an

Fantom [35]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

about 44.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write relations for the height of the rail as a function of initial length and expanded length, but the solution cannot be found algebraically. A graphical solution or iterative solution is possible.

Referring to the figure in the second attachment, we can write a relation between the angle value α and the height of the circular arc as ...

h = c·tan(α) . . . . . . where c = half the initial rail length

Then the length of the expanded rail is ...

s = r(2α) = (c/sin(2α)(2α) . . . . . . where s = half the expanded rail length

Rearranging this last equation, we have ...

sin(2α)/(2α) = c/s

It is this equation that must be solved iteratively. We find the solution to be ...

α ≈ 0.0168538794049 radians

So, the height of the circular arc is ...

h = 2640.5·tan(0.0168538794049) ≈ 44.4984550191 . . . feet

The rail will bow upward by about 44.5 feet.

<em>Additional comments</em>

Note that s and c in the diagram are half the lengths of the arc and the chord, respectively. The ratio of half-lengths is the same as the ratio of full lengths: c/s = 2640/2640.5 = 5280/5281.

We don't know the precise shape the arc will take, but we suspect is is not a circular arc. It seems likely to be a catenary, or something similar.

We used Newton's method iteration to refine the estimate of the angle from that shown on the graph. The iterator used is x' = x -f(x)/f'(x), where x' is the next guess based on the previous guess of x. Only a few iterations are required obtain an angle value to full calculator precision.

the cost of a phone call lasting 3 minutes 30 seconds was 52.5 cents . at this rate what was the cost of a call lasting 5 minute

Effectus [21]

Answer:

80 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest place to start for this is to calculate how much it costs per minute of call time. To do this, if we know that it costs 52.5 cents to call for 3.5 minutes, we can divide those two numbers to get how much it costs per minute.

52.5/3.5 = 15

If it costs 15 cents per minute, and we want to know how much it would cost to call for 5.33 (5 and 1/3 of a minute), then we multiply our 15 cents a minute by the number of minutes to get the final cost.

15 x 5.33 = 79.99

Because we can't have 99/100 cents, rounding up to 80 is important to get a proper answer.
