Well if Jake is 16 now and if he he was 2 years older, which would be 18, and this would be twice as old as Tom, Tom must be 9 because
16+2 = 2t
18=2t
9=t

Tom is 9 because 16+2=18 and 18/2=9

Let f be a differentiable function such that f(0) = -5 and f'(x) is less than or equal to 3 for all x. Of the following, which i
stepladder [879]
E) 2 
 Remember that the first derivative of a function is the slope of the function at any specified point. We've been told that f(0) = -5 and that f'(x) is always less than or equal to 3. So let's look at the available options and see what the average slope would have to be in order to get the specified value of f(2).
 A) -10: (-10 - -5)/(2 - 0) = -5/2 = -2.5
 B) -5: (-5 - -5)/(2 - 0) = 0/2 = 0
 C) 0: (0 - -5)/(2 - 0) = 5/2 = 2.5
 D) 1: (1 - -5)/(2 - 0) = 6/2 = 3
 E) 2: (2 - -5)/(2 - 0) = 7/2 = 3.5 
 Now taking into consideration the mean value theorem, the value of the function f'(x) has to have the value equal to the average slope between the two points at at least one point between the two given values. For options A, B, C, and D it's possible for f'(x) to return values that make that slope possible. However, for option E, the mean value theorem indicates that f'(x) has to have the value of 3.5 for at least 1 point between x=0 and x=2. And since we've been told that f'(x) is less than or equal to 3 for all possible values of x, that is in conflict and f(2) can not have the value of 2.

The interval​ time, I, in​ minutes, between appointments is related to total number of minutes T that a doctor spends with patie
zmey [24]

Answer:

Approximately 5.19 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking that you solve for T (the amount of time spent with patients in a day). To do so, simply input the values which it has given you for your variables. We can substitute 16 for I as that is the doctor's preferred interval time and we can substitute 21 for N as that is the amount of appointments the doctors wishes to have per day.

16=1.08(\frac{T}{21} )

To solve, start by multiplying both sides by 21.

336=1.08T

Next, divide both sides by 1.08.

311.11=T

Your answer comes out to 311.11 minutes. The question is asking for this to be translated into hours per day, which equates to approximately 5.19 hours.
