Answer:

The data that we have is:

"Adrian's backyard pool contains 6.4 gallons of water. Adrian will begin filling his pool at a rate of 4.1 gallons per second."

Then we can write the amount of water in Adrian's pool as a linear function:

A(t) = 6.4gal + (4.1gal/s)*t

Where t is our variable and represents time in seconds.

We also know that:

"Dale's backyard pool contains 66.4 gallons of water. Dale will begin draining his pool at a rate of 0.9 gallons per second. "

We can also model this with a linear function:

D(t) = 66.4 gal + (0.9gal/s)*t

Both pools will have the same amount of water when:

D(t) = A(t)

So we can find the value of t:

6.4gal + (4.1gal/s)*t = 66.4 gal + (0.9gal/s)*t

(4.1gal/s)*t - (0.9gal/s)*t = 66.4gal - 6.4gal

(3.2gal/s)*t = 60gal

t = 60gal/(3.2gal/s) = 18.75s

In 18.75 seconds both pools will have the same amount of water.

Suppose that f : [a, b] → [a, b] is continuous. Prove that f has a fixed point. That is, prove that there exists c ∈ [a, b] such

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

define the function:

$g(x) = f(x) -x$

As both $f(x)$ and x are continuous functions, $g(x)$ will also be continuous.

Now, what can we say about $g(a) = f(a) -a$ ?

we know that $a\leq f(a) \leq b$ , thus:

$a-a\leq f(a)-a \leq b-a\\0 \leq g(a) \leq b-a$

thus $g(a)$ is non-negative.

What about $g(b)$ ? Again we have:

$a\leq f(b) \leq b\\a-b \leq f(b) -b \leq 0\\a-b \leq g(b) \leq 0$

That means that $g(b)$ is not positive.

Now, we can imagine two cases, either one of $g(a)$ or $g(b)$ is equal to zero, or none of them is. If either of them is equal to zero, we have found a fixed point! In fact, any point $c$ for which $g(c)=0$ is a fixed point, because:

$g(c) = 0 \implies f(c) -c = 0 \implies f(c) = c$

Now, if $g(a) \neq 0$ and $g(b) \neq 0$ , then we have that

$g(a) >0$ and $g(b) < 0$ . And by Bolzano's theorem we can assert that there must exist a point c between a and b for which $g(c)=0$ . And as we have shown before that point would be a fixed point. This completes the proof.

Given u⃗ =⟨3,4⟩ and v⃗ =⟨1,2⟩. Let m be the magnitude of vector u⃗ . Find u⃗ +mv⃗ .

patriot [66]

Answer:

$\vec u+m\vec v=$

Step-by-step explanation:

Being $\vec u$ =<3,4> and $\vec v$ =<1,2>, we must find

$\vec u+m\vec v$

If m is the magintude of $\vec u$ :

$m=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}$

Where a and b are the components of $\vec u$

$m=\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}}=5$

$\vec u+5\vec v=+5=+=$
