lukranit [14]

Answer:

$H(t) = 3*2^{t/30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Height doubles at every 30 seconds, so let's call n how many times it happens, and the t the total time:

n = t/30

If the height doubles one time, it is multiplied by 2, if it doubles 2 times, it's multiplied by 2², for n times, it is multiplied by 2ⁿ, so for an initial height equal to 3:

$H(t) = 3*2^{t/30}$

Let L be a tangent line to the hyperbola x y = 2 at x = 9 . Find the area of the triangle bounded by L and the coordinate axes.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

$A = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the slope of the tangent line L is obtained by deriving the equation of the hyperbola:

$y = \frac{2}{x}$

$y'=-2\cdot x^{-2}$

The numerical value of the slope is:

$y' = -2 \cdot (9)^{-2}\\y' = -\frac{2}{81}$

The component of the y-axis is:

$y = \frac{2}{9}$

Now, the tangent line has the following mathematical model:

$y = m \cdot x + b$

The value of the intercept is found by isolating it within the equation and replacing all known variables:

$b = y - m \cdot x$

$b = \frac{2}{9}-(-\frac{2}{81} )\cdot (9)\\b = \frac{4}{9}$

Thus, the tangent line is:

$y = -\frac{2}{81}\cdot x + \frac{4}{9}$

The vertical distance between a point of the tangent line and the origin is given by the intercept.

$d_{y} = \frac{4}{9}$

In order to find horizontal distance between a point of the tangent line and the origin, let equalize y to zero and clear x:

$-\frac{2}{81}\cdot x + \frac{4}{9}=0$

$-\frac{2}{9}\cdot x + 4 = 0$

$x = 18$

$d_{x} = 18$

The area of the triangle is computed by this formula:

$A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot d_{x}\cdot d_{y}$

$A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (18)\cdot (\frac{4}{9} )$

$A = 4$

Solve this equation with substitution method :-<br> x+5 = 3 (y+5)<br> x-5 = 7 (y-5)

Damm [24]

From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10

Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40

ludmilkaskok [199]

To determine the number of those who joined the basketball camp this year, we just have to multiply the number of those who joined last year by the decimal equivalent of the percentage given. That is,
x = 88(1.25)
x = 110
Therefore, there are a total of 110 players for this years basketball camp.

What is the exact volume of this cylinder? 4in 8in

MAVERICK [17]

The volume of the cylinder is; 128π in3

Base area(πr^2)*height

Π = 3.14

Therefore; 3.14 * 4^2 * 8

3.14 * 128

= 401.92 in3
