Answer:

(a, b, c) = (-0.425595, 11.7321, 2.16667)

f(x) = -0.425595x² +11.7321x +2.16667

f(1) ≈ 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable tool makes short work of this. Most spreadsheets and graphing calculators will do quadratic regression. All you have to do is enter the data and make use of the appropriate built-in functions.

Desmos will do least-squares fitting of almost any function you want to use as a model. It tells you ...

a = -0.425595

b = 11.7321

c = 2.16667

f(x) = -0.425595x² +11.7321x +2.16667

and f(1) ≈ 13.5

<em>Additional comment</em>

Note that a quadratic function doesn't model the data very well if you're trying to extrapolate to times outside the original domain.

The triangle inequality

klemol [59]

The answer is the first choice: 7, 15, 20.
When you want to know what three numbers can make up a triangle. All you have to do is take the first two numbers and add them up. If the sum is larger than the third number, it can form a triangle. If the sum of the first two numbers are smaller than the third number, it cannot form a triangle.

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 15 miles per hour related to water going 44 miles upstream then returning the total t

yanalaym [24]

The speed of the current is 13 mph

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

speed refers to distance travelled per unit time. This is a vector quantity this implies that it has magnitude and direction.

The unit for speed as used here is miles per hour and can be written in short form as mph

<u>Given data</u>

speed of boat = 15 miles per hour = 15 mph

distance = 44 miles upstream

total time for the trip = 7.5 hours

<h3>solving for the speed of the current</h3>

let the water current be x

speed = distance / time

the total travel time upstream and downstream is known

for upstream

15 - x = 44 / time

time = 44 / 15 - x

for downstream

15 + x = 44 / time

time = 44 / 15 + x

total time = time for upstream + time for downstream = 7.5

7.5 = (44 / 15 - x ) + ( 44 / 15 + x )

7.5 = ( 44 ( 15 + x ) + 44 ( 15 - x ) ) / ( 15 + x )( 15 - x )

7.5 ( 15 + x )( 15 - x ) = 210 +44x + 210 - 44x

7.5 ( 225 - x ^ 2 ) = 420

( 225 - x ^ 2 ) = 56

169 = x ^ 2

x = sqrt ( 169 )

x = 13 miles per hour

hence speed of current is 13 miles per hour

The outside diameter of the igloo is 12 feet. The thickness of each block of ice that was used to construct the igloo is 1.5 fee

mojhsa [17]

The first thing we are going to do for this case is to model the igloo as a hemisphere.
The volume of the hemisphere is:
V = ((4/3) * (pi) * (r ^ 3)) / 2
Where,
r: sphere radio
We have then that the internal diameter is:
di = 12-1.5
di = 10.5 feet
So the radio is:
r = di / 2
r = 10.5 / 2
r = 5.25 feet
Substituting values:
V = ((4/3) * (pi) * ((5.25) ^ 3)) / 2
V = 303.1 feet ^ 3
Answer:
the amount of space of the living area inside the igloo is:
V = 303.1 feet ^ 3

Please help this for my pre calculus finals

dsp73

Answer:

a) It will take 17.71 years

b) It will take 17.58 years

c) I will earn $6.60 more in compound continuously

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Lets talk about the compound interest

- The formula for compound interest is A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

, Where:

- A = the future value of the investment, including interest

- P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit)

- r = the annual interest rate (decimal)

- n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t

- t = the time the money is invested

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The money deposit is $2000

∵ The rate is 6.25%

∵ The interest is compound quarterly

∵ The future value is $6000

∴ P = 2000

∴ A = 6000

∴ r = 6.25/100 = 0.0625

∴ n = 4

∴ t = ?

∵ A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

∴ 6000 = 2000 (1 + 0.0625/4)^4t ⇒ divide both sides by 2000

∴ 3 = (1.015625)^4t ⇒ insert ㏑ for both sides

∴ ㏑(3) = ㏑(1.015625)^4t

∵ ㏑(a)^b = b ㏑(a)

∴ ㏑(3) = 4t ㏑(1.015625) ⇒ divide both sides by ㏑(1.015625)

∴ 4t = ㏑(3)/㏑(1.015625) ⇒ divide both sides by 4

∴ t = [㏑(3)/㏑(1.015625)] ÷ 4 = 17.71

* It will take 17.71 years

b) Lets talk about the compound continuous interest

- Compound continuous interest can be calculated using the formula:

A = P e^rt

- A = the future value of the investment, including interest

- P = the principal investment amount (the initial amount)

- r = the interest rate

- t = the time the money is invested

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The money deposit is $2000

∵ The rate is 6.25%

∵ The interest is compound continuously

∵ The future value is $6000

∴ P = 2000

∴ A = 6000

∴ r = 6.25/100 = 0.0625

∴ t = ?

∵ A = P e^rt

∴ 6000 = 2000 e^(0.0625 t) ⇒ divide both sides by 2000

∴ 3 = e^(0.0625 t) ⇒ insert ㏑ to both sides

∴ ㏑(3) = ㏑[e^0.0625 t]

∵ ㏑(e^a) = a ㏑(e) ⇒ ㏑(e) = 1 , then ㏑(e^a) = a

∴ ㏑(3) = 0.0625 t ⇒ divide both sides by 0.0625

∴ t = ㏑(3)/0.0625 = 17.5778

* It will take 17.58 years

c) If t = 5 years

# The compound quarterly:

∵ A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

∴ A = 2000 (1 + 0.0625/4)^(4×5)

∴ A = 2000 (1.015625)^20 = $2727.08

# Compound continuously

∵ A = P e^(rt)

∴ A = 2000 e^(0.0625×5) = $2733.68

∴ I will earn = 2733.68 - 2727.08 = $6.60

* I will earn $6.60 more in compound continuously

2 (-X + 3) + x <br><br> Ⓘ ⓡⓔⓐⓛⓛⓨ ⓓⓞⓝ'ⓣ ⓤⓝⓓⓔⓡⓢⓣⓐⓝⓓ

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

-x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to simplify this.

Use the distributive property to eliminate the parentheses. That property tells you that the factor outside parentheses (2) will multiply both of the terms inside parentheses. It's as though you had a bag (parentheses) with two objects inside. Two such bags will have two of each of those objects.

2(-x +3) +x

= 2(-x) +2(3) +x

= -2x +6 +x

Now, the like terms -2x and +x can be combined.

= x(-2 +1) +6

= x(-1) +6

= -x +6 . . . . . the simplified expression
