The amount of garbage, G, produced by a city with population p is given by G=f(p). G is measured in tons per week, and p is meas

ured in thousands of people. The town of Tola has a population of 40,000 and produces 13 tons of garbage each week. Express this information in terms of the function f. Explain the meaning of the statement f(5)=2.

Answer:

f(40) = 13

f(5) = 2 means that a city with a population of 5000 produces 2 tons of garbage per week.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The amount of garbage per week is 13 tons. Then, G = 13 tons per week.

The population of Tola is 40000 or 40 thousands (p = 40). Then, in terms of the function f:

<u>f(40) = 13</u>

<u />

f(5) = 2

f(p) = G

p = population measured in thousands = 5 = 5000 people

G = tons of garbage produced per week = 2  

The expression means that a city with a population of 5000 produces 2 tons garbage per week.

Alicia drew a pentagon with equal side length and equal angles.Then she added red lines of symmetry to her drawing. How many lin
IRISSAK [1]
The sum of angles in a regular pentagon is
180*(5 - 2) = 540°
Each internal angle is 540/5 = 108°.

Each vertex creates a line of symmetry to the midpoint of the opposite side,
as shown in the figure.

Answer: 5 lines of symmetry.

An offshore oil well is 2 kilometers off the coast. The refinery is 4 kilometers down the coast. Laying pipe in the ocean is twi
shusha [124]

Answer:

Rectangular path

Solution:

As per the question:

Length, a = 4 km

Height, h = 2 km

In order to minimize the cost let us denote the side of the square bottom be 'a'

Thus the area of the bottom of the square, A = a^{2}

Let the height of the bin be 'h'

Therefore the total area, A_{t} = 4ah

The cost is:

C = 2sh

Volume of the box, V = a^{2}h = 4^{2}\times 2 = 128            (1)

Total cost, C_{t} = 2a^{2} + 2ah            (2)

From eqn (1):

h = \frac{128}{a^{2}}

Using the above value in eqn (1):

C(a) = 2a^{2} + 2a\frac{128}{a^{2}} = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

C(a) = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t 'a':

C'(a) = 4a - \frac{256}{a^{2}} = \frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}}

For the required solution equating the above eqn to zero:

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

a = 4

Also

h = \frac{128}{4^{2}} = 8

The path in order to minimize the cost must be a rectangle.

A speeding motorist traveling with velocity Vm is spotted by a police car. The police car is initially at rest, but the instant
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Let us suppose police car and motorist travel in straight line  and police car catches motorist after s distance

Distance travel by motorist

s=v_mt----1

Distance traveled by Police car

s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

s=0+\frac{a_pt^2}{2}

s=\frac{a_pt^2}{2}----2

from 1 & 2 we get

t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}

(a)Velocity of Police car after t sec

v=u+a_pt

v=0+a_p\times \frac{2v_m}{a_p}

v=2v_m

(b)time taken by police car is

t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}

(c)Distance travel by police car=\frac{2v_m^2}{a_p}
