Answer:
x ≈ 6.8
Step-by-step explanation:
since all angles in a triangle add up to 180º:
8x-4+17x-23+3x+17=180
28x-10=180
28x=190
x ≈ 6.8
The directions of travel are at right angles to each other, so the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the straight-line distance to the starting point. That distance (d) satisfies ...
d² = 65² +102²
d = √(4225 +10404) = √14629 ≈ 120.95
The appropriate choice is ...
... c. 121 miles
(a) The "average value" of a function over an interval [a,b] is defined to be
(1/(b-a)) times the integral of f from the limits x= a to x = b.
Now S = 200(5 - 9/(2+t))
The average value of S during the first year (from t = 0 months to t = 12 months) is then:
(1/12) times the integral of 200(5 - 9/(2+t)) from t = 0 to t = 12
or 200/12 times the integral of (5 - 9/(2+t)) from t= 0 to t = 12
This equals 200/12 * (5t -9ln(2+t))
Evaluating this with the limits t= 0 to t = 12 gives:
708.113 units., which is the average value of S(t) during the first year.
(b). We need to find S'(t), and then equate this with the average value.
Now S'(t) = 1800/(t+2)^2
So you're left with solving 1800/(t+2)^2 = 708.113
