f'(x)\ge0 for all x in [-3, 0], so f(x) is non-decreasing over this interval, and in particular we know right away that its minimum value must occur at x=-3.

From the plot, it's clear that on [-3, 0] we have f'(x)=-x. So

f(x)=\displaystyle\int(-x)\,\mathrm dx=-\dfrac{x^2}2+C

for some constant C. Given that f(0)=7, we find that

7=-\dfrac{0^2}2+C\implies C=7

so that on [-3, 0] we have

f(x)=-\dfrac{x^2}2+7

and

f(-3)=\dfrac52=2.5

Suppose that two people standing 2 miles apart both see the burst from a fireworks display. After a period of​ time, the first p
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: approximately 5148 feet directly north of point A

This is equivalent to 0.975 miles

==============================================================

Explanation:

Check out figure 1 (attached image below) to see how the drawing is set up.

Points A and B are separated by 2 miles, or 10560 feet. Use the conversion factor 1 mile = 5280 feet.

Because sound travels at roughly 1100 feet per second (assuming all of the conditions are right), this means that after x seconds, the sound wave has traveled a total distance of 1100x feet. This is the distance from A to C. Point C is the firework location.

The distance from B to C is 1100(x+6) feet because it takes 6 more seconds for the soundwave to travel from C to B, compared from C to A.

Note that triangle ABC is a right triangle. The 90 degree angle is at point A.

We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x

See figure 2 in the attached images to see the steps on solving for x. The numbers get quite big, though in the end x is fairly small. We end up with x = 4.68, which is approximate due to the 1100 figure being approximate.

This means the sound wave takes about 4.68 seconds to go from point C to point A.

With this x value, we can compute the expression 1100x to get

1100*x = 1100*4.68 = 5,148 feet

To convert this to miles, divide by 5280

(5148)/(5280) = 0.975

Therefore,

5148 feet = 0.975 miles

Are the expressions 3/4a + 8 - 1/4a - 2 and 1/2(a + 12) equivalent? Show why or why not.
natta225 [31]

Answer:Yes they are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4a + 8 - 1/4a - 2 1/2(a + 12)

Combine like terms Distributive property

2/4a+6 1/2a+6

2/4=1/2 (simplify)

1/2+6=1/2+6

Solve the following formula c=1/2f(q+b) for q
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:q= (2C - fb)/f

Step-by-step explanation:

multiplying both sides by 2 we have,

2C = fb + fq,

subtract both sides by fb

fq = 2C - fb,

dividing both sides by f

q= (2C - fb)/f
