Answer:

60 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the rate at which Marcia's family's' car is travelling, you would simply divide the total miles, which would be 240 or "d," by the time, which would be 4 hours or "t."

$\frac{240}{4}$ = 60

So, Marcia's family's car is travelling at 60 miles per hour.

Hope this helps :)

Marine biologists have determined that when a shark detectsthe presence of blood in the water, it will swim in the directionin w

siniylev [52]

Solution :

a). The level curves of the function :

$C(x,y) = e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}$

are actually the curves

$e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}=k$

where k is a positive constant.

The equation is equivalent to

$x^2+2y^2=K$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{(\sqrt K)^2}+\frac{y^2}{(\sqrt {K/2})^2}=1, \text{ where}\ K = -10^4 \ln k$

which is a family of ellipses.

We sketch the level curves for K =1,2,3 and 4.

If the shark always swim in the direction of maximum increase of blood concentration, its direction at any point would coincide with the gradient vector.

Then we know the shark's path is perpendicular to the level curves it intersects.

b). We have :

$\triangledown C= \frac{\partial C}{\partial x}i+\frac{\partial C}{\partial y}j$

$\Rightarrow \triangledown C =-\frac{2}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}(xi+2yj),$ and

$\triangledown C$ points in the direction of most rapid increase in concentration, which means $\triangledown C$ is tangent to the most rapid increase curve.

$r(t)=x(t)i+y(t)j$ is a parametrization of the most $\text{rapid increase curve}$ , then

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{dx}{dt}i+\frac{dy}{dt}j$ is a tangent to the curve.

So then we have that $\frac{dr}{dt}=\lambda \triangledown C$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{2\lambda x}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}, \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{4\lambda y}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}$

∴ $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt}=\frac{2y}{x}$

Using separation of variables,

$\frac{dy}{y}=2\frac{dx}{x}$

$\int\frac{dy}{y}=2\int \frac{dx}{x}$

$\ln y=2 \ln x$

⇒ y = kx^2 for some constant k

but we know that $y(x_0)=y_0$

$\Rightarrow kx_0^2=y_0$

$\Rightarrow k =\frac{y_0}{x_0^2}$

∴ The path of the shark will follow is along the parabola

$y=\frac{y_0}{x_0^2}x^2$

$y=y_0\left(\frac{x}{x_0}\right)^2$

I would show you the picture with the work but I am on my computer because I am charging my phone.. So, I will just show the work

15% = $\frac{15}{100} = \frac{30}{100}$ which gives you the whole quality of the number of 200

Answer:

C f(x) = {4e^x -5, ..., -x +7, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest portion to check is the constant section in the interval [0, 6]. All of the function definitions agree on that, so that doesn't help choose the right answer.

__

Next easiest is the linear section at the right. It has a negative slope. Extension of the line to the y-axis shows it has a positive y-intercept. This eliminates choices A and D.

__

The horizontal asymptote of the exponential portion at the left is -5. Both of the remaining choices B and C agree on that. The exponential is increasing at an increasing rate, so its coefficient is positive. This eliminates choice B.

The appropriate description of the function on the graph is offered by choice C.

_____

The graph below plots the function. We note that the given graph seems to show the exponential curve incorrectly.
