Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope 1 = (-1+7)/(-5-4) = 6/(-9) = -2/3

Slope 2 perpendicular to Slope 1 :

-1 ÷ -⅔ = 3/2

An island is 1 mi due north of its closest point along a straight shoreline. A visitor is staying at a cabin on the shore that i

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The visitor should run approximately 14.96 mile to minimize the time it takes to reach the island

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have;

The distance of the island from the shoreline = 1 mile

The distance the person is staying from the point on the shoreline = 15 mile

The rate at which the visitor runs = 6 mph

The rate at which the visitor swims = 2.5 mph

Let 'x' represent the distance the person runs, we have;

The distance to swim = $\sqrt{(15-x)^2+1^2}$

The total time, 't', is given as follows;

$t = \dfrac{x}{6} +\dfrac{\sqrt{(15-x)^2+1^2}}{2.5}$

The minimum value of 't' is found by differentiating with an online tool, as follows;

$\dfrac{dt}{dx} = \dfrac{d\left(\dfrac{x}{6} +\dfrac{\sqrt{(15-x)^2+1^2}}{2.5}\right)}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{6} -\dfrac{6 - 0.4\cdot x}{\sqrt{x^2-30\cdot x +226} }$

At the maximum/minimum point, we have;

$\dfrac{1}{6} -\dfrac{6 - 0.4\cdot x}{\sqrt{x^2-30\cdot x +226} } = 0$

Simplifying, with a graphing calculator, we get;

-4.72·x² + 142·x - 1,070 = 0

From which we also get x ≈ 15.04 and x ≈ 0.64956

x ≈ 15.04 mile

Therefore, given that 15.04 mi is 0.04 mi after the point, the distance he should run = 15 mi - 0.04 mi ≈ 14.96 mi

$t = \dfrac{14.96}{6} +\dfrac{\sqrt{(15-14.96)^2+1^2}}{2.5} \approx 2..89$

Therefore, the distance to run, x ≈ 14.96 mile

What is the scientific notation of 68000

Dmitry [639]

OOHHH!! I like sci not! Okay, so you take the decimal ( which in this case is at the end: 68000. ) and move it over as many times as needed until it gets in between the, in this case, 6 and 8. ( 6.8000 ). You need to show exactly how many times it was actually moved so you multiply that number time 10^ whatever place. In this question, it'll be to the 4th place because you move the decimal over 4 times. The answer will be 6.80 x 10^4 OR -written in short hand- 6.8x10E4

Find the particular solution of the differential equation that satisfies the initial condition(s). f ''(x) = x−3/2, f '(4) = 1,

sweet [91]

Answer:

Hence, the particular solution of the differential equation is $y = \frac{1}{6} \cdot x^{3} - \frac{3}{4}\cdot x^{2} - x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

This differential equation has separable variable and can be solved by integration. First derivative is now obtained:

$f'' = x - \frac{3}{2}$

$f' = \int {\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right) } \, dx$

$f' = \int {x} \, dx -\frac{3}{2}\int \, dx$

$f' = \frac{1}{2}\cdot x^{2} - \frac{3}{2}\cdot x + C$ , where C is the integration constant.

The integration constant can be found by using the initial condition for the first derivative ( $f'(4) = 1$ ):

$1 = \frac{1}{2}\cdot 4^{2} - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (4) + C$

$C = 1 - \frac{1}{2}\cdot 4^{2} + \frac{3}{2}\cdot (4)$

$C = -1$

The first derivative is $y' = \frac{1}{2}\cdot x^{2}- \frac{3}{2}\cdot x - 1$ , and the particular solution is found by integrating one more time and using the initial condition ( $f(0) = 0$ ):

$y = \int {\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{3}{2}\cdot x -1 \right)} \, dx$

$y = \frac{1}{2}\int {x^{2}} \, dx - \frac{3}{2}\int {x} \, dx - \int \, dx$

$y = \frac{1}{6} \cdot x^{3} - \frac{3}{4}\cdot x^{2} - x + C$

$C = 0 - \frac{1}{6}\cdot 0^{3} + \frac{3}{4}\cdot 0^{2} + 0$

$C = 0$

Hence, the particular solution of the differential equation is $y = \frac{1}{6} \cdot x^{3} - \frac{3}{4}\cdot x^{2} - x$ .
