Answer:

  • k = 0.032
  • P0 = 131.836

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you want to use the points (t, P) = (4, 150) and (6, 160) to find the parameters P0 and k in the equation ...

  P(t)=P_0\cdot e^{kt}

We know from the given points that we can write the equation as ...

  P(t)=150\left(\dfrac{160}{150}\right)^{(t-4)/(6-4)}=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{\frac{t}{2}-2}\\\\=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{-2}\times\left(\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^t

Comparing this to the desired form, we see that ...

  P_0=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{-2}\approx 131.836\\\\e^{k}=\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{1/2}\rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2}(\ln{16}-\ln{15})\approx 0.0322693

So, the approximate equation for P is ...

  P(t)=131.836\cdote^{0.032t}

And the parameters of interest are ...

  • k = 0.032
  • P0 = 131.836

Alex is practicing his dives at a pool. He dives from a dividing board that is 21 feet above the surface of the water. His dive
leonid [27]

Answer:

NO. Alex was wrong.  

The total dive distance is 21 + 17 = 38 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex was wrong because his direction of diving is from above the water through the surface of the water to under the water.

So his direction of travelling is not opposite but the same.

Therefore the total distance traveled by Alex = distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface + distance traveled from the water surface to down below the water  

Distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface = 21 feet

Distance traveled from the water surface down below the water = 17 feet  

Total distance traveled by Alex = 21 feet + 17 feet

   = 38 feet.

Thus, Alex was wrong because the the total distance traveled by Alex was 38 feet.
