Civil engineer wants to estimate the maximum number of cars that can safely travel on a particular road at a given speed. He ass

umes that each car is 14 feet long, travels at speed S, and follows the car in front of it at a safe distance for that speed. He finds that the number N of cars that can pass a given spot per minute is modeled by the function
N=(89s)/(14+14(s/17)^2))

At what speed can the greatest number of cars travel safely on that road? Assume that the maximum possible speed of a car is less than 300.

N(s)= \frac{89s}{14+14( \frac{s}{17})^2 }
\\
\\N'(s)= (\frac{89s}{14+14( \frac{s}{17})^2 } )'= \frac{89\times 14(1+( \frac{s}{17})^2)-89s\times  \frac{28}{17} }{14^2(1+( \frac{s}{17})^2)} 
\\
\\N'(s)=0
\\
\\89\times 14(1+( \frac{s}{17})^2)-89s\times  \frac{28}{17}=0
\\
\\1+( \frac{s}{17})^2- \frac{2s}{17} =0
\\
\\289+s^2-34s=0
\\
\\s^2-34s+289=0
\\
\\(s-17)^2=0
\\
\\s=17

Solve 3m+7/2=−2m+5/2 what is m
GenaCL600 [577]
Solve for m:3 m + 7/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
Put each term in 3 m + 7/2 over the common denominator 2: 3 m + 7/2 = (6 m)/2 + 7/2:(6 m)/2 + 7/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
(6 m)/2 + 7/2 = (6 m + 7)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
Put each term in 5/2 - 2 m over the common denominator 2: 5/2 - 2 m = 5/2 - (4 m)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = 5/2 - (4 m)/2
5/2 - (4 m)/2 = (5 - 4 m)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = (5 - 4 m)/2
Multiply both sides by 2:6 m + 7 = 5 - 4 m
Add 4 m to both sides:6 m + 4 m + 7 = (4 m - 4 m) + 5
4 m - 4 m = 0:6 m + 4 m + 7 = 5
6 m + 4 m = 10 m:10 m + 7 = 5
Subtract 7 from both sides:10 m + (7 - 7) = 5 - 7
7 - 7 = 0:10 m = 5 - 7
5 - 7 = -2:10 m = -2
Divide both sides of 10 m = -2 by 10:(10 m)/10 = (-2)/10
10/10 = 1:m = (-2)/10
The gcd of -2 and 10 is 2, so (-2)/10 = (2 (-1))/(2×5) = 2/2×(-1)/5 = (-1)/5:Answer: m = (-1)/5
