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

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

This survey will not be reliable as it is chosen for convenience; the first 120 students to arrive in school on a particular morning and this collection of individuals may not be a representative of the population. The study may become biased because it does not take into account the latecomers among the students which might have been changed the study from systematically favoring certain outcomes.

The points (-10, 0) and (-5, 3) fall on a particular line. What is it’s equation in slope-intercept form?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

  y = 3/5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

When given two points, it is convenient to start with the 2-point form of the equation of a line, then rearrange it to the form needed for the problem. For points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the equation is ...

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·(x -x1) +y1

Filling in the given point coordinates, this is ...

  y = (3 -0)/(-5 -(-10))·(x -(-10)) + 0

  y = 3/5(x +10)

  y = (3/5)x + 6
