Answer:the weight after 225 days is

22885 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial weight of the blue whale calf at birth is 2725 kilograms. blue whale calf gains 90 kilograms of weight each day for the first 240 days after its birth. The weight increases in arithmetic progression. This means that the first term of the sequence, a is 2725, the common difference, d is 90.

The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

n is the number of terms of the sequence.

a is the first term

d is the common difference

We want to determine its weight, T225 after 225 days after it’s birth. It means that n = 225

Therefore

T225 = 2725 + (225 - 1)90

T225 = 2725 + 224×90 = 2725 + 20160

T225 = 22885

Here all the given equations are in the form of

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

The value of $x$ can be determined by the perfect square method as follows:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2+\frac{b}{a}+\frac{c}{a}=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2+2\times\frac{b}{2a}+\left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2-\left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2+\frac{c}{a}=0$

$\Rightarrow \left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2=\left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2-\frac{c}{a}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\;\cdots(i)$

Now, for $x^2+3x-4=0$

$a=1, b=3, c=-4$

So, from equation (i)

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4\times1\times(-4)}}{2\times1}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{9+16}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{3\pm5}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{3+5}{2},\frac{3-5}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x= 4, -1$

Similarly, for $9x^2+12x+4=0$

$a=9, b=12, c=4$

So, from equation (i)

$x=\frac{-12\pm\sqrt{12^2-4\times9\times4}}{2\times9}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-12\pm0}{18}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-2}{3}$

For $x^2-2x-3=0$

$a=1, b=-2, c=-3$

$x=\frac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt{(-2)^2-4\times1\times(-3)}}{2\times1}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt{16}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2\pm4}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{6}{2},\frac{-2}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=3.00, -1.00$

For $x^2-6x+9=0$

$a=1, b=-6, c=9$

$x=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\times1\times9}}{2\times1}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{6\pm0}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=3.00$

For $2x^2-4x-3=0$

$a=2, b=-4, c=-3$

$x=\frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4\times2\times(-3)}}{2\times2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{40}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{4\pm2\sqrt{10}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{4+2\sqrt{10}}{4},\frac{4-2\sqrt{10}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow x=2.58, -0.58$

An electric current, I, in amps, is given by I=cos(wt)+√8sin(wt), where w≠0 is a constant. What are the maximum and minimum valu

exis [7]

Take the derivative with respect to t
$- w \sin(wt) + \sqrt{8} w cos(wt)$
the maximum and minimum values occur when the tangent line is zero so we set the derivative to zero
$0 = -w \sin(wt) + \sqrt{8} w cos(wt)$
divide by w
$0 =- \sin(wt) + \sqrt{8} cos(wt)$
we add sin(wt) to both sides

$\sin(wt)= \sqrt{8} cos(wt)$
divide both sides by cos(wt)
$\frac{sin(wt)}{cos(wt)}= \sqrt{8} \\ \\ arctan(tan(wt))=arctan( \sqrt{8} ) \\ \\ wt=arctan(2 \sqrt{2)}$ OR $\\$ $wt=arctan( { \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } )$
(wt)=2(n*pi-arctan(2^0.5))
(wt)=2(n*pi+arctan(2^-0.5))
where n is an integer
the absolute max and min will be

$I=cos(2n \pi -2arctan( \sqrt{2} ))$
since 2npi is just the period of cos
$cos(2arctan( \sqrt{2} ))= \frac{-1}{3} 
$
substituting our second soultion we get
$I=cos(2n \pi +2arctan( \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } ))$
since 2npi is the period
$I=cos(2arctan( \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2}} ))= \frac{1}{3}$
so the maximum value = $\frac{1}{3}$
minimum value = $- \frac{1}{3}$
