Answer:the car was traveling at a speed of 80 ft/s when the brakes were first applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car braked with a constant deceleration of 16ft/s^2. This is a negative acceleration. Therefore,

a = - 16ft/s^2

While decelerating, the car produced skid marks measuring 200 feet before coming to a stop.

This means that it travelled a distance,

s = 200 feet

We want to determine how fast the car was traveling (in ft/s) when the brakes were first applied. This is the car's initial velocity, u.

Since the car came to a stop, its final velocity, v = 0

Applying Newton's equation of motion,

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

0 = u^2 - 2 × 16 × 200

u^2 = 6400

u = √6400

u = 80 ft/s

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

f(-3) = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

You substitute -3 to x.

f(-3) = 2(-3)² - 5(-3) - 17

f(-3) = 16.

As for the coordinates, the coordinates plotted in the graph above are (1,-1) and (2,-2).

Find the value of x.<br> A. 22.5<br> B.40<br> C.45<br> D.95
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

x = 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent- secant angle x is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs, that is

\frac{1}{2} (4x + 5 - 50 ) = x ( multiply both sides by 2 )

4x - 45 = 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x - 45 = 0 ( add 45 to both sides )

2x = 45 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 22.5

Kia purchased 3 pounds of grapes and spent $11.63 on other items. She spent a total of $20. She used the following steps to find
Maurinko [17]
3x + 11.63 = 20
3x + 11.63 - 11.63 = 20 - 11.63
3x = 8.37

by subtracting the 11.63 from both sides, this tells us how much the grapes cost....not per lb., but for the total of all the grapes.
