First, we must determine the circumference of the paddle wheel.
The formula for the circumference of a circle is:
c = 2πr
Where r is the radius of the circle. However, we know d = 2r where d is the diameter of the circle.
Therefore:
c = 2rπ = dπ
Substituting 8ft for d gives a circumference of:
c = 8πft
The time it takes to complete 1 revolution can be found using the formula:
t = d/s
Where:
t is the time it takes: what we are solving for in this problem.
d is the distance traveled: we calculated this as 8πft
s is the speed traveled: from the problem we know this is
6.7ft/sec
Substituting and calculating t gives:
t = 8πft / (6.7ft/sec)
t = 1.2πsec
Two find how long it would take for 100 revolutions we can multiply this time by 100
100 × 1.6πsec ⇒ 122.2πsec
If a number is required for the answer we can use 3.14 as an estimate for π giving:
122.2πsec ⇒ 122.2 × 3.14sec ⇒ 383sec

For f(x) = x3 – x2, which gives an output of 48?<br> O f(-8)<br> O fl-4)<br> O f(4)<br> O f(8)
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

f(4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The output is the value of f(x) for a given value of x ( the input )

Substitute the given values of x into f(x) to determine the output, that is

f(- 8) = (- 8)³ - (- 8)² = - 512 - 64 = - 576 ≠ 48

f(- 4) = (- 4)³ - (- 4)² = - 64 - 16 = - 80 ≠ 48

f(4) = 4³ - 4² = 64 - 16 = 48

Thus f(4) gives an output of 48

Evaluate this function at x = 2: f(x)= 3x + 20 *
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Fitst,  you substitute

f(2) = 3(2) + 20

f(2) = 6 + 20

f(2) = 26

your answer is 26
