Answer:

2/0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the polynomial, factorize it.

2x³-11x²+18x-8=0

After factorizing:

(x-2)(2x^2 - 7x +4) = 0

now, solve each bracket one by one:

x-2 = 0

x = 2

Then

2x^2 - 7x + 4 = 0

use quadratic formula t get 0.74

The flash of lightning travels at the speed of light, which is about 186,000 miles per second. The sound of lightning (thunder)

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A. Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 744,000 miles

B. Distance of the lightning after n seconds = 186,000 * n

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of lightning = 186,000 miles per second

Speed of sound = 750 miles per hour

2. A. If you see a flash of lightning, then hear the thunder 4 seconds later, how far away is the lightning?

Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 186,000 * 4

Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 744,000 miles

B. Now let’s generalize that result. Suppose it takes n seconds to hear the thunder after a flash of lightning. How far away is the lightning, in terms of n?

Distance of the lightning after n seconds = 186,000 * n

\text{We know that the average rate of change of a function f(x) on inerval [a,b] is}\\
\\
f_{avg}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\\
\\
\text{so using this the average rate of chang of g for x on interval }[3,7] \text{ is}\\
\\
g_{avg}=\frac{g(7)-g(3)}{7-3}\\
\\
=\frac{4-1}{4}\\
\\
=\frac{3}{4}\\
\\
\text{so average rate of change of g on interval [3,7] is }\frac{3}{4}$

$\\(ii)\\ \text{Average rate of chang of f for x on interval }[3,7] \text{ is}\\
\\
f_{avg}=\frac{f(7)-f(3)}{7-3}\\
\\
=\frac{0-5}{4}\\
\\
=\frac{-5}{4}\\
\\
\text{so average rate of change of g on interval [3,7] is }\frac{-5}{4}$

$\\(iii)\\
\text{Since g(4)=5, so we have}\\
\\
f(g(4))=f(5)\\
\\
\text{since the value of f is 1 at x=5. so }\\
\\
f(g(4))=f(5)=1\\
\\
\text{hence we have, }f(g(4))=$ 1

$\\(iv)\\
\text{Since f(3)=5, so we have}\\
\\
g(f(3))=g(5)\\
\\
\text{since the value of g is 2 at x=5. so }\\
\\
g(f(3))=g(5)=2\\
\\
\text{hence we have, }g(f(3))=$ 2
