A car travels at constant speed for 7 days and covers 1500 miles. What is the speed in centimeters/minute? You may use the (appr

oximate) conversion factors on page 55 of the text (in particular that 1 mile is about 8/5 km), or you may relate everything to the conversion 1 inch = 2.54cm.

(1500 mi / 7 da) · (1 da / 1440 min) · (1609.3 m / 1 mi) · (100 cm / 1 m)

= (1500 · 1 · 1609.3 · 100) / (7 · 1440 · 1 · 1) cm/min

= 23,948.6 cm/min

Answer:

Speed = 23809.52 cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A car travels at constant speed for 7 days and covers 1500 miles.

To find : What is the speed in centimeters/minute

Solution : Formula to find speed is

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Distance traveled = 1500 miles and time taken = 7 days

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{1500 miles}}{\text{7 days}}$

Now, we have to convert miles into centimeter and days into minutes.

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour= 60 minute

24 hr= 24×60 minute

1 day = 24×60 minute

7 days = 7×24×60 minute = 10,080 minute

Now, 1 mile = 8/5 km = 1.6 km

1 km= 100000 cm

1.6 km = 1.6 × 100000 cm

1 mile = 1.6 × 100000 cm

1500 miles = 1500×1.6 × 100000 cm = 240,000,000 cm

Put back the values into speed

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{1500 miles}}{\text{7 days}}$

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{240,000,000 cm}}{\text{10,080 minute}}$

$\text{Speed}=\text{23809.523 cm/minute}$

Therefore, speed = 23809.52 cm/min

An open topped box is constructed as follows: A 24 in. x 24 in. square bottom has four identical squares cut off at each corner.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

square bottom area is $24\times 24\ in.^2$

Suppose x in. is cut from each corner to make a open box with maximum volume

New base area is $(24-x)\times (24-x) in.^2$

Volume of box

$V=(24-x)^2\times x$

Differentiate V w.r.t x to get maximum volume

$\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} x}=2\cdot (24-x)(-1)+1\cdot (24-x)^2$

Put $\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} x}=0$

$\left ( 24-x\right )\left [ -2x+24-x\right ]=0$

$\left ( 24-x\right )\left [ 24-3x\right ]=0$

$x=24,8$

but x=24 is not possible therefore x=8 will yield maximum volume

$V=(24-8)^2\cdot 8=2048\ in.^2$

Before the coffee shop opens the employees bake 40 cookies which is 25 less than the number of donuts they make does the equatio

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

x-25 = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cookies made = x

The employees bake 40 cookies which is 25 less than the number of donuts they make

Number of Cookies is less than Number of Donuts by 25

Therefore the equation that describes the situation is given as:

x-25 = 40 where x is the number of cookies made.

Dy/dx = 2xy^2 and y(-1) = 2 find y(2)

—————

Solve the initial value problem:

dy
——— = 2xy², y = 2, when x = – 1.
dx

Separate the variables in the equation above:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{y^2}=2x\,dx}\\\\
\mathsf{y^{-2}\,dy=2x\,dx}$

Integrate both sides:

$\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\!y^{-2}\,dy=\int\!2x\,dx}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{y^{-2+1}}{-2+1}=2\cdot \dfrac{x^{1+1}}{1+1}+C_1}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{y^{-1}}{-1}=\diagup\hspace{-7}2\cdot \dfrac{x^2}{\diagup\hspace{-7}2}+C_1}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,\dfrac{1}{y}=x^2+C_1}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{y}=-(x^2+C_1)}$

Take the reciprocal of both sides, and then you have

$\mathsf{y=-\,\dfrac{1}{x^2+C_1}\qquad\qquad where~C_1~is~a~constant\qquad (i)}$

In order to find the value of C₁ , just plug in the equation above those known values for x and y, then solve it for C₁:

y = 2, when x = – 1. So,

$\mathsf{2=-\,\dfrac{1}{1^2+C_1}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{2=-\,\dfrac{1}{1+C_1}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,\dfrac{1}{2}=1+C_1}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,\dfrac{1}{2}-1=C_1}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{2}{2}=C_1}$

$\mathsf{C_1=-\,\dfrac{3}{2}}$

Substitute that for C₁ into (i), and you have

$\mathsf{y=-\,\dfrac{1}{x^2-\frac{3}{2}}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{y=-\,\dfrac{1}{x^2-\frac{3}{2}}\cdot \dfrac{2}{2}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{y=-\,\dfrac{2}{2x^2-3}}$

So y(– 2) is

$\mathsf{y\big|_{x=-2}=-\,\dfrac{2}{2\cdot (-2)^2-3}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{y\big|_{x=-2}=-\,\dfrac{2}{2\cdot 4-3}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{y\big|_{x=-2}=-\,\dfrac{2}{8-3}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{y\big|_{x=-2}=-\,\dfrac{2}{5}}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{this is the answer.}$

I hope this helps. =)
