Answer:

The angular speed is 3,227 rad/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1 mile=63,360 inches

step 1

Find the circumference of the wheels

The circumference is equal to

$C=\pi D$

we have

$D=36\ in$

substitute

$C=\pi (36)$

$C=36\pi\ in$

step 2

we know that

The speed of the wheel is 55 mi/h

Convert to mi/min

55 mi/h=55/60 mi/min

Convert to in/min

(55/60) mi/min=55*63,360/60 in/min= 58,080 in/min

we know that

The circumference of the wheel subtends a central angle of 2π radians

using proportion

Find out how much radians are 58,080 inches

$\frac{36\pi }{2\pi }=\frac{58,080}{x} \\\\x=2*58,080/36\\\\x=3,226.67 \ rad$

therefore

The angular speed is 3,227 rad/min

What is the range of f(x)= -3^x+4

V125BC [204]

Answer:

A. The set of all real numbers less than 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of the parent function $y=3^x$ is $y\in (0,\infty)$

The graph of the function $y=-3^x$ is reflected across the x-axis graph of the parent function, so the range of the function $y=-3^x$ is $(-\infty,0)$

The graph of the function $y=-3^x+4$ is translated 4 units up graph of the function $y=-3^x$ , so the range of the function $y=-3^x+4$ is $(-\infty,4)$ or the set of all real numbers less than 4.

A rectangular swimming pool that is 10 ft wide by 16 ft long is surrounded by a cement sidewalk of uniform width. If the area of

mars1129 [50]

The pool has area $160\,\mathrm{ft}^2$ .

Let $x$ be the width of the sidewalk. Then the combined area of the pool and sidewalk is $(10+x)(16+x)=160+26x+x^2$ , so that the area of the sidewalk alone is $26x+x^2$ .

We're told this area is $155\,\mathrm{ft}^2$ , so

$26x+x^2=155\implies x^2+26x-155=(x-5)(x+31)=0\implies x=5$
