Answer:

180 fb*lb

45 ft*lb

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the work is equal to:

W = F * d

but when the force is constant and in this case, it is changing.

 therefore it would be:

W = \int\limits^b_ a {F(x)} \, dx

Where a = 0 and b = 30.

F (x) = 0.4 * x

Therefore, we replace and we would be left with:

W = \int\limits^b_a {0.4*x} \, dx

We integrate and we have:

W = 0.4 / 2 * x ^ 2

W = 0.2 * (x ^ 2) from 0 to 30, we replace:

W = 0.2 * (30 ^ 2) - 0.2 * (0 ^ 2)

W = 180 ft * lb

Now in the second part it is the same, but the integral would be from 0 to 15.

we replace:

W = 0.2 * (15 ^ 2) - 0.2 * (0 ^ 2)

W = 45 ft * lb

What is the graph of y = x - 3 (shown below) translated up 2 units?
Mrac [35]
I don't see a "shown below," so I'm not sure if I could accurately answer your question. However, if your graph point is (x,-3), then it wants you to move your graphed point up two units. I believe that would be y = x -1? I'm not sure

In the year 2003 a company made 8.8 million in profits. For each consecutive year after that their profits increased by 6%. How
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The company's profit in 2007 was 11.088 millions

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a compound interest problem where the initial amount is 8.8 million, the interest rate is 6% and the time period is 4 years and it gets compounded yearly. So we can use the compound interest formula, that is given by:

A = P*(1 + r/n)^(n*t)

Where A is the final amount, P is the initial amount, r is the rate, t is the total amount of time and n is the number of times it gets compounded in one year. We can now use all the values that were given to us to find out the profit of the company.

A = 8.8*(1 + (0.06))^(4) = 8.8*(1.06)^16

A  = 8.8*1.26 = 11.088 millions

So the company's profit in 2007 was 11.088 millions

Write an expression showing 8 less than the sum of x and n. Is the answer (n+x)-8
Alik [6]
It is x+n-8. I believe that if you put the parentheses it will mean you are multiplying x+n by -8.
