A professional model maker is building a giant scale model of a house fly to be used in a science fiction film. An actual fly is

about .2 inches long with a wingspan of about .5 inches. The model fly for the movie will be 27 feet long. What will its wingspan be?

Alright, lets get started.

An actual fly is about .2 inches long.

The model fly for the movie will be 27 feet long.

Converting 27 feet into inches, it will be = 27*12 = 324 inches

So, lets first find the scale factor, so

scale factor will be = \frac{324}{0.2}

So, scale factor will be = 1620

It means from the original size, the model fly is scaled to 1620 times.

The actual fly has a wingspan of about .5 inches.

So, the model fly will have a wingspan = 0.5*1620

So, the model fly will have a wingspan = 810 inches

Converting inches into feet,

the model fly will have a wingspan = \frac{810}{12} = 67.5 feet

So, the wingspan will be 67.5 feet.   :   Answer

Hope it will help :)

Which of the following polynomials has an even degree and a negative leading coefficient?
spin [16.1K]

Using limits, the polynomial that has an even degree and a negative leading coefficient is:

Polynomial going down from the left and passing through the point negative 7 comma 0 and going to a local minimum and then going up through the point negative 3 comma 0 and 0 comma 8 to a local maximum and then down to the right through the point 4 comma 0.

<h3>What is a limit?</h3>

A limit is given by the value of function f(x) as x tends to a value.

In this problem, to find the polynomial, we have to find the limits as x goes to infinity, hence:

\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} f(x) = [tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} -a x^n

Since n is even, we have that:

  • \lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} -a (-\infty)^n = -a \times \infty = -\infty
  • \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} -a (\infty)^n = -a \times \infty = -\infty

Since it goes down to the left and down to the right, hence the function is:

Polynomial going down from the left and passing through the point negative 7 comma 0 and going to a local minimum and then going up through the point negative 3 comma 0 and 0 comma 8 to a local maximum and then down to the right through the point 4 comma 0.

The distance, y, in centimeters, of an ant from a hole in the tree for a certain amount of time, x, in seconds, is shown in the
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

<h3>Part A</h3>

The graph is non-linear as it is not a continuous straight line (with only one slope).

<h3>Part B</h3>

<u>Increasing</u>:  the y-value increases as the x-value increases

<u>Constant</u>:  the y-value stays the same as the x-value changes

<u>Decreasing</u>:  the y-value decreases as the x-value increases

Therefore,

  • Increasing segment:  Between 0 and 2 seconds
  • Constant segment: Between 2 and 3 seconds
  • Decreasing segment: Between 3 and 5 seconds

<h3>Part C</h3>

For the first 2 seconds, the ant moves 6 cm from a hole in the tree at a steady speed of 3 cm per second. For the next second, the ant is at rest then turns around. For the next 2 seconds, the ant moves 6 cm back to the hole at a steady speed of 3 cm per second.  The ant then stops.
