To get to his office from home, Greg walks 6 blocks north and then 3 blocks east. After work he meets some friends at a cafe; to

get there he walks 3 blocks south and 7 blocks west. All blocks are 660 feet long. What is the straight-line distance from the cafe to his home?

Answer:

total distance = 3300 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know here displacement S is in vector form that is

$\vec{S} = \vec{S1} +\vec{S2}+\vec{S3}+\vec{S4}$ ......................1

$\vec{S} = (3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}) + (-7\hat{i}-3\hat{j})$

and

$\vec{S} =(-4\hat{i}+3\hat{j})$

and

magnitude is

$\left| \vec{S} \right| = \sqrt{(-4)^2+3^2}$

$\left| \vec{S} \right| = \sqrt{25}$

$\left| \vec{S} \right| = 5$

so here distance from home to cafe is

S = 5 × 660

total distance = 3300 ft

+17 bc you want to do the opposite so then it’s 17+10 which gets you x=27

A culture started with 2000 bacteria after 5 hours it grew to 2600

Jobisdone [24]

P(t) = P₀ e^(kt)

<span>Where P₀ is the initial population, </span>
<span>P(t) is the population after "t" time. </span>
<span>t is your rate (can be hours, days, years, etc. in this case, hours) </span>
<span>k is the growth constant for this particular problem. </span>

<span>So using the information given, solve for k: </span>

<span>P₀ = 2000 </span>
<span>P(4) = 2600 </span>

<span>P(t) = P₀ e^(kt) </span>
<span>2600 = 2000e^(k * 4) </span>
<span>1.3 = e^(4k) </span>

<span>Natural log of both sides: </span>

<span>ln(1.3) = 4k </span>
<span>k = ln(1.3) / 4 </span>

<span>Now that we have a value for "k", use that, the same P₀, then solve for P(17): </span>

<span>P(t) = P₀ e^(kt) </span>
<span>P(17) = 2000 e^(17ln(1.3) / 4) </span>

<span>Using a calculator to get ln(1.3) then to simplify from there, we get: </span>

<span>P(17) ≈ 2000 e^(17 * 0.262364 / 4) </span>
<span>P(17) ≈ 2000 e^(4.460188 / 4) </span>
<span>P(17) ≈ 2000 e^(1.115047) </span>
<span>P(17) ≈ 2000 * 3.0497 </span>
<span>P(17) ≈ 6099.4 </span>

<span>Rounded to the nearest unit: </span>

<span>P(17) ≈ 6099 bacteria hope i could help =)))</span>

The graph of r = -10 cos θ has which of the following characteristics?

Ronch [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we convert

$r = - 10 \cos(x)$

to a Cartesian equation,

${r}^{2} = - 10 r \: \cos(x)$

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = - 10x$

${x}^{2} + 10x + {y}^{2} = 0$

${x}^{2} + 10x + 25 + {y}^{2} = 25$

$(x + 5) {}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 25$

So we have a circle with center (-5,0), with a diameter of 10.

Y=x.arctan(x)^1/2. find dy/dx. pls show steps

Whitepunk [10]

$y=x(\arctan x)^{1/2}$

Use the product rule first:

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dx}(\arctan x)^{1/2}+x\dfrac{\mathrm d(\arctan x)^{1/2}}{\mathrm dx}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=(\arctan x)^{1/2}+x\dfrac{\mathrm d(\arctan x)^{1/2}}{\mathrm dx}$

Use the chain rule to compute the derivative of $(\arctan x)^{1/2}$ . Let $z=(\arctan x)^{1/2}$ and take $u=\arctan x$ , so that by the chain rule

$\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm du}\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm du}=\dfrac{\mathrm du^{1/2}}{\mathrm du}=\dfrac12u^{-1/2}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm d\arctan x}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1{1+x^2}$

$\implies\dfrac{\mathrm d(\arctan x)^{1/2}}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1{2(\arctan x)^{1/2}(1+x^2)}$

So we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=(\arctan x)^{1/2}+\dfrac x{2(\arctan x)^{1/2}(1+x^2)}$

You can rewrite this a bit by factoring $(\arctan x)^{-1/2}$ , just to make it look neater:

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1{2(\arctan x)^{1/2}}\left(2\arctan x+\dfrac x{1+x^2}\right)$
