Answer:
1. The car is slowing down at a rate of 2.5mph/s
2. The greatest acceleration is 10 mph/s.
3. In the interval 4s to 16s the speed remains constant and has magnitude 25 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The deceleration of the car is from 16 seconds to 24 seconds is the slope of the graph from 16 to 24:
the negative sign indicates that it is deceleration.
2. The automobile experiences the greatest change in speed when the slope is greatest because that is when acceleration/deceleration is greatest.
From the graph we see that the greatest slope of the graph is between 28 and 24 seconds. The acceleration the interval is the slope :
3. The automobile experiences no acceleration in the interval 4 s to 16 s—that's the graph is flat.
The speed of the automobile in that interval, as we see from the graph, is 25 mph.
The change in the water vapors is modeled by the polynomial function c(x). In order to find the x-intercepts of a polynomial we set it equal to zero and solve for the values of x. The resulting values of x are the x-intercepts of the polynomial.
Once we have the x-intercepts we know the points where the graph crosses the x-axes. From the degree of the polynomial we can visualize the end behavior of the graph and using the values of maxima and minima a rough sketch can be plotted.
Let the polynomial function be c(x) = x ² -7x + 10
To find the x-intercepts we set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for x as shown below:
x ² -7x + 10 = 0
Factorizing the middle term, we get:
x ² - 2x - 5x + 10 = 0
x(x - 2) - 5(x - 2) =0
(x - 2)(x - 5)=0
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x=2
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x=5
Thus the x-intercept of our polynomial are 2 and 5. Since the polynomial is of degree 2 and has positive leading coefficient, its shape will be a parabola opening in upward direction. The graph will have a minimum point but no maximum if the domain is not specified. The minimum points occurs at the midpoint of the two x-intercepts. So the minimum point will occur at x=3.5. Using x=3.5 the value of the minimum point can be found. Using all this data a rough sketch of the polynomial can be constructed. The figure attached below shows the graph of our polynomial.
