Answer:

The smaller Number = 15

The larger number = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The smaller number = x

The larger number = 5x - 8

The sum = 82

(5x - 8) + x = 82

5x - 8 + x = 82

6x - 8 = 82

Add eight to both sides

6x - 8 + 8 = 82 + 8

6x = 90

Divide both sides by 6

x = 90/6

= 15

Therefore,

The smaller number = x = 15

The larger number = 5x - 8

= 5(15) - 8

= 75 - 8

= 67

A particle moves according to a law of motion s = f(t), t ? 0, where t is measured in seconds and s in feet.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) $\frac{ds}{dt}= v(t) = 3t^2 -18t +15$

b) $v(t=3) = 3(3)^2 -18(3) +15=-12$

c) $t =1s, t=5s$

d) $[0,1) \cup (5,\infty)$

e) $D = [1 -9 +15] +[(5^3 -9* (5^2)+ 15*5)-(1-9+15)]+ [(6^3 -9(6)^2 +15*6)-(5^3 -9(5)^2 +15*5)] =7+ |32|+7 =46$

And we take the absolute value on the middle integral because the distance can't be negative.

f) $a(t) = \frac{dv}{dt}= 6t -18$

g) The particle is speeding up $(1,3) \cup (5,\infty)$

And would be slowing down from $[0,1) \cup (3,5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following function given:

$f(t) = s = t^3 -9t^2 +15 t$

Part a: Find the velocity at time t.

For this case we just need to take the derivate of the position function respect to t like this:

$\frac{ds}{dt}= v(t) = 3t^2 -18t +15$

Part b: What is the velocity after 3 s?

For this case we just need to replace t=3 s into the velocity equation and we got:

$v(t=3) = 3(3)^2 -18(3) +15=-12$

Part c: When is the particle at rest?

The particle would be at rest when the velocity would be 0 so we need to solve the following equation:

$3t^2 -18 t +15 =0$

We can divide both sides of the equation by 3 and we got:

$t^2 -6t +5=0$

And if we factorize we need to find two numbers that added gives -6 and multiplied 5, so we got:

$(t-5)*(t-1) =0$

And for this case we got $t =1s, t=5s$

Part d: When is the particle moving in the positive direction? (Enter your answer in interval notation.)

For this case the particle is moving in the positive direction when the velocity is higher than 0:

$t^2 -6t +5 >0$

$(t-5) *(t-1)>0$

So then the intervals positive are $[0,1) \cup (5,\infty)$

Part e: Find the total distance traveled during the first 6 s.

We can calculate the total distance with the following integral:

$D= \int_{0}^1 3t^2 -18t +15 dt + |\int_{1}^5 3t^2 -18t +15 dt| +\int_{5}^6 3t^2 -18t +15 dt= t^3 -9t^2 +15 t \Big|_0^1 + t^3 -9t^2 +15 t \Big|_1^5 + t^3 -9t^2 +15 t \Big|_5^6$

And if we replace we got:

$D = [1 -9 +15] +[(5^3 -9* (5^2)+ 15*5)-(1-9+15)]+ [(6^3 -9(6)^2 +15*6)-(5^3 -9(5)^2 +15*5)] =7+ |32|+7 =46$

And we take the absolute value on the middle integral because the distance can't be negative.

Part f: Find the acceleration at time t.

For this case we ust need to take the derivate of the velocity respect to the time like this:

$a(t) = \frac{dv}{dt}= 6t -18$

Part g and h

The particle is speeding up $(1,3) \cup (5,\infty)$

And would be slowing down from $[0,1) \cup (3,5)$

X=-4 +6+ (11 +4(-3))

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -4 + 6 + (11 + 4(-3)).

First get the numbers in the parentheses

x = -4 + 6 + (11 - 12)

Since 11 - 12 = -1. We can replace (11-12) with -1

x = -4 + 6 -1

Now add and subtract

x = 1

In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane, what is the slope of the line joining the points (3,7) and (4,−8)?

rjkz [21]

We know that the slope formula is m = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)
Your points are: (3, 7) and (4, -8)
In this case,
x1 = 3
x2 = 4
y1 = 7
y2 = -8
Now, just plug in the numbers:
m = (7 - -8)/(3-4)
m = 15/-1
m = -15
Your slope is -15.
