The answer key says the answer is B, but I don't understand how it is decreasing...isn't the velocity shown to be increasing? An

d if it is decreasing, then how come with exponential graphs we were taught this would be a growth function?

Answer:

Acceleration and velocity are two different things.  The acceleration is the rate at which the velocity is increasing.  So while the velocity very well may be increasing, the rate (acceleration) at which it is, is decreasing.

Explanation:

The curve shows velocity, which is increasing from left to right, except perhaps at the very end, where it appears to be constant.

The question asks about acceleration, which is the derivative of velocity. On a graph like this, acceleration is <em>the slope of the velocity curve</em>.

The slope starts out steep (very much positive) and ends up flat (very near zero). Hence the slope (acceleration) is <em>decreasing</em>.

_____

An exponential function is concave upward (when it is above the horizontal asymptote). This function is concave downward. It is <em>not an exponential growth function</em>.

An exponential decay function can look like this if it is vertically shifted upward. This one comes to what looks like zero slope, which an exponential function never does.

Given sin x =-4/5 and x is in quadrent 3, what is the value of tan x/2
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

We can write sin x in terms of tan x/2 using the formula:

⇒ sin x = (2 tan (x/2)) / (1 + tan2(x/2))

Therefore, using the above formula, we can find the values of tan x/2 by putting the value of sin x.

⇒ -4/5 = (2 tan (x/2)) / (1 + tan2(x/2))

Now, if we replace tan (x/2) by y, we get a quadratic equation:

⇒ 0.8y2 + 2y + 0.8 = 0

⇒ 2y2 + 5y + 2 = 0

By using the quadratic formula, we get y = -0.5, -2

Hence, the value of tan (x/2) = -0.5, -2

Now, we have two solutions of tan (x/2).

Now, let's check for the ideal solution using the formula tan x = (2 tan (x/2)) / (1 - tan2(x/2)).

For tan (x/2) = -0.5:

⇒ tan x = 2(-0.5) / 1 - (-0.5)2 = -4/3

It is also given that x lies in the third quadrant. We know that tan is positive in the third quadrant, and here we get tan x = -4/3 which is negative.

Hence, we can say that tan (x/2) = -0.5 is not a correct solution. Hence it is rejected.

Now let's check for tan (x/2) = -2.

⇒ tan x = 2(-2) / 1 - (-2)2 = 4/3

Here, we get tan x = 4/3 which is positive.

Hence, we can say that tan (x/2) = -2 is a correct solution.

Can someone please help me on solving: x+y=-4
timama [110]

Answer: x=-1 and y= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x, x+y=-4

Minus y from both sides so it'll be X=-y-4

Now substitute -y-4 in x-y=2 and solve for y

-y - 4 -y=2

Add like terms, -2y - 4=2

Add 4 to both sides -2y=6

Divide both sides by -2 \frac{-2y}{-2} = \frac{6}{-2}

y= -3

Substitute -3 in x=-y - 4

x=-(-3) - 4

- × (-3)= 3

3 - 4= -1

x= -1

The ______________ provides a single measure for a certain population, also called the average.
Sever21 [200]

The arithmetic mean provides a single measure for a certain population, also called the average.

The sum of a set of numbers divided by the total number of numbers in the set is known as the arithmetic mean or arithmetic average in mathematics and statistics.

The ratio of the total number of observations divided by the sum of all the given observations is known as the arithmetic mean. For instance, if the data set contains 5 observations, it is possible to get the arithmetic mean by adding all 5 of the given observations and dividing by 5.
