The domain of the function is the range of values of x that can be used to be replaced in the equation for it to become true. We are given that the value of f(x) should range only from -1 to 3. We evaluate each of the choices and see if the values of f(x) will fall within the range.
(a) -12; f(x) = 2^(-12) - 10 = -9.9999 (NOT AN ANSWER)
(b) -10; f(x) = 2^(-10) - 10 = -9.999 (NOT AN ANSWER)
(c) -9; f(x) = 2^(-9) - 10 = -9.999 (NOT AN ANSWER)
(d) -6; f(x) = 2^(-6) - 10 = -9.98 (NOT AN ANSWER)
(e) -2; f(x) = 2^(-2) - 10 = -9.75 (NOT AN ANSWER)
Hence, none of the choices will allow the value of f(x) to fall between -1 and 3.
He can make 3 batches of soup.
Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.
0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10
We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:
7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5
Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5
Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3
For this case we have the following equation:
Q = Av
Where the area is given by:
A = pi * r ^ 2
A = pi * (d / 2) ^ 2
A = (pi / 4) * d ^ 2
Substituting we have:
Q = ((pi / 4) * d ^ 2) v
From here, we clear the diameter:
d = root ((4 / pi) * (Q / v))
Substituting values we have:
d = root ((4 / pi) * (50/600))
d = 0.36 feet
Answer:
The diameter of a pipe that allows a maximum flow of 50ft ^ 3 / min of water flowing at a velocity of 600ft / min is:
d = 0.36 feet
