Vint is testing ceiling fans in a factory. For one of the tests, he switches the fan on, and after it attains a maximum speed of

500 rotations per minute (rpm), he switches the fan back off, recording the amount of time it takes for the fan to completely stop spinning. The given equation models Vint's test, where x represents time in seconds and y represents the speed in rotations per minute. The equation has been graphed as shown.
Assuming that the test was complete when the fan stopped spinning completely, how long was the test?

A. 100 seconds

B. 10 seconds

C. 20 seconds

D. 500 seconds

Answer:

20 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$y=-5x^2+100x$

Where x represents time in seconds and y represents the speed in rotations per minute.

To Find : Assuming that the test was complete when the fan stopped spinning completely, how long was the test?

Solution:

Since we are supposed to find how long will it take to stop the fan completely

We assumed that test was complete when the fan stopped spinning completely

i.e. y = Speed = 0

So, Substitute y = 0 in the equation $y=-5x^2+100x$

⇒ $0=-5x^2+100x$

⇒ $5x^2=100x$

⇒ $5x=100$

⇒ $x=\frac{100}{5}$

⇒ $x=20$

Thus it took 20 seconds to stop the fan

Hence the test was 20 seconds long.

Answer:

C. 20 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know when y=0

The first y is when it started and the second y=0 is when it stops

Looking at the graph y=0 at x=0 and y=0 at x=20

The fan started at time 0 and stopped at 20 seconds

Fifteen times the square of a non-zero number is equal to 12 times the number. What is the number?

salantis [7]

The answer is 0.8

15x^2=12x

15x=12

x=12/15 = 4/5 so the answer is 0.8

Which statement about the slope of the line is true?

creativ13 [48]

A straight line has the same gradient all along its length. The gradient equals vertical rise over horizontal distance. It does not matter which triangle you use.
For large triangle it equals 2/8 or 1/4 for smaller one. Both equal 1/4 (last statement)

Put the following in order for the most area in the tails of the distribution. (a) Standard Normal Distribution (b) Student's

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

(b) (c) (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Normal distribution has a higher peak in the center, with more area in this región, hence it has less area in its tails.

Student's t-Distribution has a shape similar to the Standard Normal Distribution, with the difference that the shape depends on the degree of freedom. When the degree of freedom is smaller the distribution becomes flatter, so it has more area in its tails.

Student's t-Distributionwith 1515 degrees of freedom has mores area in the tails than the Student's t-Distribution with 2020 degrees of freedom and the latter has more area than Standard Normal Distribution

HELP ASAP- I would give 40 points just for these 3 answers

5) The relation between intensity and current appears linear for intensity of 300 or more (current = intensity/10). For intensity of 150, current is less than that linear relation would predict. This seems to support the notion that current will go to zero for zero intensity. Current might even be negative for zero intensity since the line through the points (300, 30) and (150, 10) will have a negative intercept (-10) when current is zero.

Usually, we expect no output from a power-translating device when there is no input, so we expect current = 0 when intensity = 0.

6) We have no reason to believe the linear relation will not continue to hold for values of intensity near those already shown. We expect the current to be 100 for in intensity of 1000.

8) Apparently, times were only measured for 1, 3, 6, 8, and 12 laps. The author of the graph did not want to extrapolate beyond the data collected--a reasonable choice.

Midas Touch, a venture capital firm, has the opportunity to invest in one of two firms that are in the process of globalizing. C

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Midas Touch should invest in Coolco company.

Step-by-step explanation:

Globalization:

It is a process of expanding your business to the market of whole world.

The reason for investing in Coolco, an air-conditioning manufacturer is that they can do better performance in the global market as they have faced a great pressure at home. Because, the companies that face great competition at home tend to perform better in global market place as compared to the companies that are facing little competition at home.
