At time t ≥ 0, the velocity of a body moving along the s-axis is v = t² -5t +4. When is the body moving backwards

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of a moving body is given by the equation:

v=t^2-5t+4 ,\, t\geq0

Is the velocity is <em>positive </em>(v>0), then our object will be moving <em>forwards</em>.

And if the velocity is negative (v<0), then our object will be moving <em>backwards</em>.

We want to find between which interval(s) is the object moving backwards. Hence, the second condition. Therefore:

v

By substitution:

t^2-5t+4

Solve. To do so, we can first solve for <em>t</em> and then test values. By factoring:

(t-4)(t-1)=0

Zero Product Property:

t=1, \text{ and } t=4

Now, by testing values for t<1, 1<t<4, and t>4, we see that:

v(0)=4>0,\, v(2)=-20

So, the (only) interval for which <em>v</em> is <0 is the second interval: 1<t<4.

Hence, our answer is A.

Answer:

X = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell that the two sides that show the degrees are equal because of the arc. We can set up a simple equation:

x + 45 = 60

x = 15

Find the mean, median, and mode 77, 92, 80, 92. Please explain how you got your answer.​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The mean is 85.25

The medium is 86

The mode is 92

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is all the numbers added divided by the number of values.

77 + 92 + 80 + 92 divided by 4

341 divided by 4 = 85.25

The median is the middle number

92 + 80 divided by 2

172 divided by 2 = 86

The mode is the number that occurs the most which is 92.

Please help!!!! ASAP!!!

2/4 = 3/6 is true.

First, simplify the fractions:

2/4 = 1/2

3/6 = 1/2

We see that 1/2 = 1/2, so 2/4 DOES equal 3/6.
