The height, in inches, of each of three boys is 54.0, 48.5, and 46.0, respectively. The height of the fourth boy is denoted by h

inches. The average height, A, of the 4 boys can be expressed as a function of h in the form:
A(h) = (c + h)/d

1. What is the domain for the function A(h)?
2. The average height of all 4 boys is 50.5 inches. What is the height of the fourth boy?

Answer:

53.5

Step-by-step explanation:

c = the height of the first 3 boys.

c = 54 + 48.5 + 46

c = 148.5

Now you add a fourth boy. His height is h.

A(h)= (c + h)/d      

d = the total number of boys which is 4.

The new average is 50.5

A = (c + h)/d

50.5 = (148.5 + h) / 4            Multiply both sides by 4

202 = 148.5 + h                    Now subtract 148.5 from both sides

202 - 148.5 = h

h = 53.5

A particle begins at point (1, 2) and is moving along the line segment joining (1, 2) to (3, 4). Initially, what is the rate of
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Initially, that is, at (1,2), the rate of increase of the function in the direction given = 0

Hence the function is neither increasing nor decreasing initially in the given direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x,y) = 2x² - y²

Rate of Change of the function = ∇f = (fₓ, fᵧ)

And we're told to find the rate of change in a particular direction = ∇f.û

We first obtain the unit vector in that direction, û

Direction = (3,4) - (1,2) = (2,2)

Uni vector = vector/magnitude

Vector = 2î + 2j

magnitude = √(2² + 2²) = √8 = 2 √2

(2î + 2j)/(2√2) = (1/√2)î + (1/√2)j = û

Unit vector in the direction = (1/√2, 1/√2)

f = 2x² - y²

At (1,2)

fₓ = ∂f/∂x = 4x = 4

fᵧ = ∂f/∂y = -2y = -4

∇f = (4,-4)

∇f.û = (4î - 4j).((1/√2)î + (1/√2)j) = (4/√2) - (4/√2) = 0

If it was positive, then the function is increasing, if it was negative, the function is decreasing. Zero means neither of them.

Hence the function is neither increasing nor decreasing initially in the given direction.

Which expression and diagram represent “three times a number”?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

You've picked the right one! It's the one you've marked in the picture!

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication is just like addition; you're just doing it multiple times instead of once. 3<em>x</em> is equal to <em>x</em> + <em>x</em> + <em>x</em>. That's exactly what the option you chose in the image shows. Great job! You've got this!
