A pendulum hangs from a clock and swings over its base.

Mathematics
1 answer:
seraphim [82]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance between the pendulum and the base of the

clock, f(x), over the horizontal distance, x, modeled by

the function shown.

f(x) = 0.25x² – 2x + 10

In order to get the minimum distance between the pendulum and the base of the clock, first, we need to find the turning point of the function.

At turning point, d{f(x)}/dx = 0

d{f(x)}/dx = 0.5x-2 = 0

0.5x = 2

x = 2/0.5

x = 4

Then we will substitute x = 4 into the function as shown;

f(4) = 0.25(4)²-2(0.4)+10

f(4) = 4-9.8+10

f(4) = 4.2

The minimum distance between the pendulum and the base of the clock is 4.2

Determine whether each set of side lengths could be the sides of a right triangle. Drag and drop each set of side lengths to the
Neko [114]

Answer:

  • 10.5cm,20.8cm,23.3cm — yes
  • 6cm, 22.9cm,20.1cm — no

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sides form a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the shorter two sides will equal the square of the longest side.

1. 10.5^2 + 20.8^2 = 23.3^2 . . . . . true algebraic statement; right triangle

__

2. 6^2 +20.1^2 = 440.01 ≠ 22.9^2 = 524.41 . . . . . this is an obtuse triangle

(4-3n) 8 simplify the expression
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:32-24n

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 8 and 4 and multiply it and you get 32. Take 8 and 3 multiply or add 8 three times and you get 24 and also add the n so it’s 24n since the n goes no where, and you can’t really subtract a number with a letter with a number or a number with a different letter, you can only subtract or add it if it has the same letter on the number. Hope that helps.

daser333 [38]

Answer:

3t + 1,023

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As a tutor it is $14 per hour

As a waitress it is $11 per hour

Total number of hours worked is 93

Now let us assume the number of hours worked as a tutor is t

So as a waiter is 93 - t

Now the equation is

= $14(t) + $11(93 - t)

= 14t + 1,023 - 11t

= 3t + 1,023
