The change in temperature for 1 hour would be -5. hope this helps.

It would be -5 because 60 divided by 12 is 5 and it’s decreasing in temp so it’s -5

The position of an object along a vertical line is given by s(t) = −t3 + 3t2 + 7t + 4, where s is measured in feet and t is meas

Answer:

The maximum velocity of the object in the time interval [0, 4] is 10 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The position of an object along a vertical line is given by $s(t) = -t^3+3t^2+7t +4$ , where s is measured in feet and t is measured in seconds.

To find : What is the maximum velocity of the object in the time interval [0, 4]?

Solution :

The velocity is rate of change of distance w.r.t time.

Distance in terms of t is given by,

$s(t) = -t^3+3t^2+7t +4$

Derivate w.r.t. time,

$v(t)=s'(t) = -3t^2+6t+7$

It is a quadratic function so its maximum is at vertex of the function.

The x point of the function is given by,

$x=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Where, a=-3, b=6 and c=7

$t=-\frac{6}{2(-3)}$

$t=-\frac{6}{-6}$

$t=1$

As 1 lie between interval [0,4]

Substitute t=1 in the function,

$v(t)= -3(1)^2+6(1)+7$

$v(t)= -3+6+7$

$v(1)=10$

Th maximum velocity is 10 ft/s.

Therefore, the maximum velocity of the object in the time interval [0, 4] is 10 ft/s.

There are 9 performers who are to present their acts at a variety show. How many different ways are there to schedule their appe

nika2105 [10]

For this type of question it is easiest to think about it in terms of a simple multiplication. The way we can do this is by working out how many possibilities there are for each position on the program. This is as follows:
For the first act, there are 9 possible performers we can pick
For the second act, because we have already assigned a performer to the first act, there are only 8 possible performers
For the third act, because we have already assigned a performer to the first two acts, there are only 7 possible performers
This goes on and on until we reach the final act, where we have used all the performers except one.
Therefore we can say:
For the first act there are 9 possibilities
For the second act there are 8 possibilities
For the third act there are 7 possibilities
For the fourth act there are 6 possibilities and so on
If we want to write this mathematically we can just say that there are:
9 possibilities x 8 possibilites x 7 possibilities etc right down until we are at the final act where there is 1 possibility.
To write this out as an equation we just say:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = the number of different ways
In maths however, we have a much simpler way of saying this, which we call "factorial".
That whole stream of numbers up there can just be said to be "9 factorial", or if we are writing it in an equation "9!". You may find that your calculator has a button which has an "!" on it. If you put in the number of performers and then press the "!" button, it will give you the answer to your question.
Hope this helped you :)
