Answer:

The rate (in feet per/second) of the skydiver's drop is 30 feet/second

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem let us itemized our given data

Given data

Distance of drop or height s =450 ft

Time taken to drop t = 15 sec

The rate of drop also speed/velocity v=?

We know that the

velocity v= distance travel/time

Substituting our data we have

v= 450/15=

v = 30 feet/second

Answer:

30feet/second

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate in feet per seconds of the diver will be the speed of the diver.

Speed is the rate of change in distance of a body.

Speed = Distance/Time

Given distance or height of drop = 450feet

Time = 15seconds

Rate of change in distance = 450/15

Rate of change in distance = 30feet/second

Let X = the number of nonzero digits in a randomly selected 4-digit PIN that has no restriction on the digits. What are the poss

NISA [10]

Answer:

X = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

If X is the number of nonzero digits in a 4-digit PIN with no restriction on the digits, the pin can have up to 4 nonzero digits.

Let's see some examples:

If the PIN is 0000 then X = 4

If the PIN is 2045 then X = 3

If the PIN is 7546 then X = 0

From the previous examples, we can see that the possible values for X are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Thus X = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

in newton rapson method

$x_{n+1}=x_{n}-\frac{f\left(x_{n}\right)}{f^{\prime}\left(x_{n}\right)}$

Let $n=n-1$

$x_{(n-1)+1}=x_{n-1}-\frac{f\left(x_{n-1}\right)}{f^{\prime}\left(x_{n-1}\right)}$

$x_{n}=x_{n-1}-\frac{f\left(x_{n-1}\right)}{f^{\prime}\left(x_{n-1}\right)}$

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 (4.4) ≥ 18 does not make sense. 4 x 4.4 = 17.6, which is not more than or equal to 18.
