-2(x+14)+1=15

distribute

-2x - 14 + 1 = 15

add 14 to each side

-2x + 1 = 29

subtract one from each side

-2x = 28

divided by -2

x = -14

-2(x+14)+1=5

First, distribute -2 into x and 14.

-2x-28+1=5

Combine like terms.

-2x-27=5

Add 27 to both sides.

-2x=32

Divide both sides by -2.

x=-16

Your answer is -16.

I hope this helps :)

A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in the system of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of 43 ft/s. Its height

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Instantaneous Velocity at t = 1 is 20 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given he following information in the question:

$y(t)=43t-23t^{2}$

B) Instantaneous Velocity at t = 1

$y(1) = 43(1)-23(1)^2 = 20$

A) Formula:

Average velocity =

$\displaystyle\frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}}$

1) 0.01

$y(1 + 0.01)=y(1.01) = 43(1.01)-23(1.01)^{2} = 19.9677\\\\\text{Average Velocity} = \dfrac{y(1.01)-y(1)}{1.01-1} =\dfrac{19.9677-20}{1.01-1}= \dfrac{-0.0323}{0.01} = -3.230000 \text{feet per second}$

2) 0.005 s

$y(1 + 0.005)=y(1.005) = 43(1.005)-23(1.005)^{2} = 19.984425\\\\\text{Average Velocity} = \dfrac{y(1.005)-y(1)}{1.005-1} =\dfrac{19.984425-20}{1.005-1} = -3.1150000 \text{feet per second}$

3) 0.002 s

$y(1 + 0.002)=y(1.002) = 43(1.002)-23(1.002)^{2} = 19.993908\\\\\text{Average Velocity} = \dfrac{y(1.002)-y(1)}{1.002-1} =\dfrac{19.993908-20}{1.002-1} = -3.0460000 \text{feet per second}$

4) 0.001 s

$y(1 + 0.001)=y(1.001) = 43(1.001)-23(1.001)^{2} = 19.996977\\\\\text{Average Velocity} = \dfrac{y(1.001)-y(1)}{1.001-1} =\frac{19.996977-20}{1.001-1} = -3.0230000 \text{feet per second}$
