While chasing its prey, a cheetah is running slowly and then increases its speed by 50.6 miles per hour to reach a top speed of

70 miles per hour. What is the cheetah's initial speed? And what is the answer in miles per hour

Answer:

The Cheetah's initial speed is 19.4 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Cheetah is initially running and then gradually increases its speed by 50.6 miles per hour to reach a top speed of 70 miles per hour, let the Cheetah's initial speed be u.

Also, let the increase in the Cheetah's speed be Δu and let v be the Cheetah's final speed.

Now, the final speed, v = initial speed, u + change in speed, Δu

So, v = u + Δu

So, the Cheetah's initial speed is u = v - Δu

Now, v = 70 mi/h and Δu = 50.6 mi/h

Substituting v and Δu into the equation, we have

u = v - Δu

u = 70 mi/h - 50.6 mi/h

u = 19.4 mi/h

So, the Cheetah's initial speed is 19.4 miles per hour

Given a graph, with no equation, how can you graph the inverse?

patriot [66]

There are two different ways you can do this, I have provided both below.

Answer: You can switch all the x and y coordinate values.

For example, if you have (2, 1) you would graph (1, 2).

Another example, if you have (677, 83) you would graph (83, 677)

Answer: Flip the graph over the line of y = x

I have attached an example from<em> lumenlearning.com</em>.

A company wishes to manufacture some boxes out of card. The boxes will have 6 sides (i.e. they covered at the top). They wish th

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The dimensions are, base $b=\sqrt[3]{200}$ , depth $d=\sqrt[3]{200}$ and height $h=\sqrt[3]{200}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to understand the problem, we have a box of unknown dimensions (base $b$ , depth $d$ and height $h$ ), and we want to optimize the used material in the box. We know the volume $V$ we want, how we want to optimize the card used in the box we need to minimize the Area $A$ of the box.

The equations are then, for Volume

$V=200cm^3 = b.h.d$

For Area

$A=2.b.h+2.d.h+2.b.d$

From the Volume equation we clear the variable $b$ to get,

$b=\frac{200}{d.h}$

And we replace this value into the Area equation to get,

$A=2.(\frac{200}{d.h} ).h+2.d.h+2.(\frac{200}{d.h} ).d$

$A=2.(\frac{200}{d} )+2.d.h+2.(\frac{200}{h} )$

So, we have our function $f(x,y)=A(d,h)$ , which we have to minimize. We apply the first partial derivative and equalize to zero to know the optimum point of the function, getting

$\frac{\partial A}{\partial d} =-\frac{400}{d^2}+2h=0$

$\frac{\partial A}{\partial h} =-\frac{400}{h^2}+2d=0$

After solving the system of equations, we get that the optimum point value is $d=\sqrt[3]{200}$ and $h=\sqrt[3]{200}$ , replacing this values into the equation of variable $b$ we get $b=\sqrt[3]{200}$ .

Now, we have to check with the hessian matrix if the value is a minimum,

The hessian matrix is defined as,

$H=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial d^2} &\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial d \partial h}\\\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial h \partial d}&\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial p^2}\end{array}\right]$

we know that,

$\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial d^2}=\frac{\partial}{\partial d}(-\frac{400}{d^2}+2h )=\frac{800}{d^3}$

$\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial h^2}=\frac{\partial}{\partial h}(-\frac{400}{h^2}+2d )=\frac{800}{h^3}$

$\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial d \partial h}=\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial h \partial d}=\frac{\partial}{\partial h}(-\frac{400}{d^2}+2h )=2$

Then, our matrix is

$H=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&2\\2&4\end{array}\right]$

Now, we found the eigenvalues of the matrix as follow

$det(H-\lambda I)=det(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4-\lambda&2\\2&4-\lambda\end{array}\right] )=(4-\lambda)^2-4=0$

Solving for $\lambda$ , we get that the eigenvalues are: $\lambda_1=2$ and $\lambda_2=6$ , how both are positive the Hessian matrix is positive definite which means that the function $A(d,h)$ is minimum at that point.

A sample of students was asked what political party do they belong. which of the following types of graphical display would be a

inna [77]

Answer:

B. Pie chart.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the students are asked what political party they belong. The best display format would be one in which the graph can be divided into parts, or percents, according to the percentage of students belonging to each political party. The graph that best describes this, distributing a group into parts, is a pie chart, and thus, the correct answer is given by option b.

Scatterplot is used when two variables correlate together, that is, there is a relationship between them, which we don't have between the number, or proportion of students belonging to each political party. Stemplot are used when there is a high number of quantitative data, which we do not have here.

A circular coaster has a diameter of 5 inches. What is its area? write your answer using π.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter=5 inches

Area= π $r^{2}$

<u>r is the radius of coaster.</u>

<u>Radius=diameter/2</u>

Substitute the value of D:

r=5/2

Now

Area=π $\frac{5}{2} ^{2}$

Area=π( $\frac{25}{2}$ )

Area=12.5π sq.inches
