The stopping distance for a boat in calm water is modelled by the function d(v) = 0.004v2 + 0.2v + 6, where d(v) is in metres an

d v is in kilometres per hour.
a. What is the stopping distance if the speed is 10km/h?
b. What is the initial speed of the boat if it takes 11.6m to stop?
Please help :(

Answer:

a. 8.4 km  b. 20 km/hr or 20,000 m/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

This is your polynomial:

d(v)=.004v^2+.2v+6

The important thing to realize is that d(v) is the distance it takes for the boat to stop.  That will come later, in part b. Besides that, we also need to remember that v is velocity, which is speed, in km/hr.

For part a. we are looking for d(v), the stopping distance, when v = 10.  That means that we will sub in a 10 for each v in the function and solve for d(v):

d(10)=.004(10)^2+.2(10)+6 so

d(10) = 8.4 km

Now comes the part I was referring to above.  Part b is asking us the speed of the boat if it takes 11.6 meters to stop.  If d(v) is the stopping distance, we sub 11.6 in for d(v) in the function:

11.6=.004v^2+.2v+6

The only way w can solve this for velocity is to get everything on one side of the equals sign, set the polynomial equal to 0, then plug the values into the quadratic formula.  

0=.004v^2+.2v-5.6

Plugging that into the quadratic formula gives you 2 values of velocity:

v = 20 km/hr and -70 km/hr

We all know that neither time nor distance in math will EVER be negative so we can discount the negative number.  However, I believe that you asked for the distance in meters, so 20 km/hr is the same as 20,000 m/hr.

Find the distance between points (5,1) and (3,4) to the nearest tenth
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

3.6 units (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

distance formula

= \sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2}  + (y1 - y2)^{2} }

Thus, distance between the 2 points

= √[(5 - 3)² + (1 - 4)²]

= √[ 2²+ ( - 3)²]

= √13

= 3.6 units (nearest tenth)

WILL GIVE BRAINLIST please help I beg ​
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

96°

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle formed by a chord and a tangent that intersect on a circle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.

x = 168/2 = 84°

A straight angle is 180 degrees

y = 180 - x = 180 - 84 = 96°

How many centimeters are the two cities apart?
ikadub [295]

The cities are 375 miles apart in real life. 10 miles in real life is 2 centimeters on the map. To find the answer to the question, divide 375 by 10 and then multiply by 2.

(375/10)×2=37.5×2

                 =75

They are 75 centimeters apart on the map.

monitta
The regular price is 3.18.
 50% off half the price, so you can either divide the regular price by 2 or multiply it by 0.50

3.18 / 2 = 1.59   ( 3.18 *0.50 = 1.59)

so the sale price is 1.59

now subtract the sale price from $5 to find the amount of change they got back:

5.00 - 1.59 = $3.14 change back

Is the following relation a function?
Eduardwww [97]
The answer is No.
Because the 0 in x oval is pointing to BOTH 1 and 3 in y oval.
And that must not happen in order to relation be a function.
The following conditions must be satisfied for relation to be a function:
1. condition: EVERY element in first oval has to be connected to some element in second oval.
2. condition: Elements in first oval MUST NOT have more than one connection with elements in second oval.
