Answer:

The wheel completed a total of 212 turns.

Step-by-step explanation:

A wheel has a circular form, therefore its length is given by the following formula:

$length = 2*\pi*radius$

Where radius is half the diameter. Applying the data from the problem to calculate the length of the wheel gives us:

$length = 2*\pi*(\frac{1.5}{2})\\length = 1.5*\pi = 4.7124$

Since the engine traveled a distance of 1000 metres and each turn of the wheel has 4.7124 metres, in order to calculate the number of turns the wheel made in that course we need to divide both numbers as shown below:

$turns = \frac{1000}{4.7124} = 212.21$

The wheel completed a total of 212 turns.

Which function grows the fastest for large values of x? f(x)=8x f(x)=3x f(x)=4x2+3 f(x)=1.5x 20 points

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The 4 functions are:
$f_1 (x) = 8x$
$f_2(x)=3x$
$f_3(x)=4x^2+3$
$f_4(x)=1.5 x$

Let's keep in mind that for large values of x, a quadratic function grows faster than a linear function:
$ax^2 \ \textgreater \ kx$ for large values of x

In this problem, we can see that the only quadratic function is $f_3(x)$ , while all the others are linear functions, so the function that grows faster for large values of x is
$f_3(x) = 4x^2 +3$
