Answer:
The general form of a natural logarithmic function is <em>f(x)=a In(x-h) +k.</em> Since the initial average length of the lizards was 20 centimeters, one possible point (h+1,k) through which the function passes is (0,20).
In this case, h= -1 since h +1 = 0 and k = 20.
It follows that x - h = (-1) = x + 1.
So, the function takes the form <em>f(x) = a In(x + 1) +20. </em>
The average length of the lizards after 2 years is 22.197. So f(2) =22.197. We substitute this value into the function
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>f(2) = a In(2 +1) +20 </em>
<em>22.197 = a In(3) + 20 </em>
<em></em>
<em>≈ a </em>
<em>2 ≈ a</em>
So the function that represents the average length of the lizards across this generation is <em>f(x) = 2 In(x+1) +20 </em>
The position function of a particle is given by:
The velocity function is the derivative of the position:
The particle will be at rest when the velocity is 0, thus we solve the equation:
The coefficients of this equation are: a = 2, b = -9, c = -18
Solve by using the formula:
![t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
Substituting:
![\begin{gathered} t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81-4(2)(-18)}}{2(2)} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81+144}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{225}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm15}{4} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B81-4%282%29%28-18%29%7D%7D%7B2%282%29%7D%20%5C%5C%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B81%2B144%7D%7D%7B4%7D%20%5C%5C%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B225%7D%7D%7B4%7D%20%5C%5C%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm15%7D%7B4%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
We have two possible answers:
We only accept the positive answer because the time cannot be negative.
Now calculate the position for t = 6:
So here are the answers for the given questions above:
1. Based on the given values above, the correct answer would be option B. NEITHER ARITHMETIC NOR GEOMETRIC. Why? When we say arithmetic sequence, the values should have a common difference which remains constant all throughout the sequence, and this sequence does not qualify. On the other hand, a geometric sequence should have a common ratio, and these numbers do not have one.
2. The correct answer for this problem would be option C. <span>121,520.
Based on the given values above, the values have a common ratio of 1.1. So what we are going to do is just to multiply 1.1 each time and by 2016, we will get </span>121,520.
Hope these answers help.
Answer:
x = 12.2
Step-by-step explanation:
sin theta = opp / hypotenuse
sin 55 = 10 /x
Multiply each side by x
x sin 55 = 10
Divide each side by sin 55
x = 10 / sin 55
x =12.20774589
Rounding to the nearest tenth
x = 12.2
