Answer:

The total distance that the turtle traveled during the 5 seconds recorded is Distance \:traveled\approx 3.838\:\frac{m}{s}

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate distance traveled of an object moving in a straight line over a period of time, from discrete data on the velocity of the object, we use a Riemann Sum. If we have a table of values

\left\begin{array}{ccccccc}time\:=\:t_i&t_0=0&t_1&t_2&...&t_n\\velocity\:=\:v(t_i)&v(t_0)&v(t_1)&v(t_2)&...&v(t_n)\end{array}\right

where \Delta t=t_i-t_{i-1}, then we can approximate the displacement on the interval [t_{i-1},t_i] by v(t_{i}) \times\Delta t.

Therefore the distance traveled of the object over the time interval [0,t_n] can be approximated by

Distance \:traveled\approx |v(t_1)|\Delta t+|v(t_2)|\Delta t+...+|v(t_n)|\Delta t

This is the right endpoint approximation.

We are given a table of values for <em>v(t)</em>

\left\begin{array}{cccccccc}t(sec)&0&1&2&3&4&5\\v(t)&0.078&0.83&0.75&0.98&0.853&0.425\end{array}\right

Applying the right endpoint approximation formula we get,

\Delta t = 1\sec

Distance \:traveled\approx |v(t_1)|\Delta t+|v(t_2)|\Delta t+|v(t_3)|\Delta t+|v(t_4)|\Delta t+|v(t_5)|\Delta t\\\\Distance \:traveled\approx 0.83(1)+0.75(1)+0.98(1)+0.853(1)+0.425(1)\\\\Distance \:traveled\approx 3.838\:\frac{m}{s}

The total distance that the turtle traveled during the 5 seconds recorded is Distance \:traveled\approx 3.838\:\frac{m}{s}

Question:
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x = 3/2 - sqrt(17)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

x/x - 1 = x - 3 - 2/x

x/x - 1 = 0:

0 = x - 3 - 2/x

0 = x - 3 - 2/x is equivalent to x - 3 - 2/x = 0:

x - 3 - 2/x = 0

Bring x - 3 - 2/x together using the common denominator x:

(x^2 - 3 x - 2)/x = 0

Multiply both sides by x:

x^2 - 3 x - 2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x^2 - 3 x = 2

Add 9/4 to both sides:

x^2 - 3 x + 9/4 = 17/4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 3/2)^2 = 17/4

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 3/2 = sqrt(17)/2 or x - 3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2

Add 3/2 to both sides:

x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x - 3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2

Add 3/2 to both sides:

Answer: x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x = 3/2 - sqrt(17)/2
