A rocket scientist needs to find the overall thrust of a new rocket design. The rocket has two stages: Stage A and Stage B. Stage A's thrust is defined by the expression 11.2x + 6.4 and Stage B's thrust is defined by the expression 7.4x − 2.9.
Solution:
The rocket thrust is the force that helps in moving the rocket through air and through space. For a multistage rocket, the overall thrust is gotten by summing all the thrust experienced in each of the stages.
Hence the overall thrust for this problem is given by the equation:
Divide the total number of calories you consumed for 10 days by 10 to find your average daily calorie intake. Then, subtract 500 calories from this number to determine your new daily intake goal for weight loss.
