Answer:

(B)  \displaystyle \frac{W(3.1) - W(2.9)}{0.2}

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Calculus</u>

Limits

Derivatives

  • The definition of a derivative is the slope of the tangent line.

Derivative Notation

Instantaneous Rates

  • Tangent Line: \displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are trying to find a <em>rate</em> at which W(t) changes, we must find the <em>derivative</em> at <em>t</em> = 3.

We are given 2 close answer choices that would have the same <em>numerical</em> answer but different <em>meanings</em>:

  1. (A)  \displaystyle  \lim_{t \to 3} W(t)
  2. (B)  \displaystyle \frac{W(3.1) - W(2.9)}{0.2}

If we look at answer choice (A), we see that our units would simply just be volume. It would not have the units of a rate of change. Yes, it may be the closest numerically correct answer, but it does not tell us the <em>rate</em> at which the volume would be changing and it is not a derivative.

If we look at answer choice (B), we see that our units would be cm³/s, and that is most certainly a rate of change. Answer choice (B) is also a <em>derivative</em> at <em>t</em> = 3, and a derivative tells us what <em>rate</em> something is changing.

∴ Answer choice (B) will give us the best estimate for the value of the instantaneous rate of change of W(t) when <em>t</em> = 3.

Kristen and Mitchell were given the same math assignment. Kristen completes 0.8 of her work in class. Mitchell completes 0.75 of
monitta
Mitchell because if you add a zero at the end of the .8 it would be 0.80 and 0.75 is smaller than 0.80 so Mitchell has more work to do at home

A large restaurant chain wanted to determine if its employees were taking sick days on some days of the week more than others. T
lidiya [134]

Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Day : Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun

# of sick days 22 11 16 17 21 28 25

The expected count of sick days taken on Saturday is obtained thus :

Expected count = (row total * column total) / overall total

Here, the table is just one way :

Hence, we use :

Observed value / total days

Hence,

Expected count on Saturday = sick days on Saturday / total sick days

Expected count on Saturday = 28 / (22+11+16+17+21+28+25)

Expected count on Saturday = 28 / 140

= 0.2

kiruha [24]

Answer:

y = -7x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>y = mx + b</em>

The <em>m </em>(slope) is -7 and the <em>y </em>is 12, substitute the numbers into the equation
