First, we are going to find the radius of the yaw mark. To do that we are going to use the formula:

where

is the length of the chord

is the middle ordinate
We know from our problem that the tires leave a yaw mark with a 52 foot chord and a middle ornate of 6 feet, so

and

. Lets replace those values in our formula:




Next, to find the minimum speed, we are going to use the formula:

where

is <span>drag factor
</span>

is the radius
We know form our problem that the drag factor is 0.2, so

. We also know from our previous calculation that the radius is

, so

. Lets replace those values in our formula:



mph
We can conclude that Mrs. Beluga's minimum speed before she applied the brakes was
13.34 miles per hour.
X^4 is the simplified answer

As

, the sequence

converges to zero.
If you're talking about the infinite series

well we've shown by comparison that this series must also converge because we know any geometric series

will converge as long as

.
<u>m= -19/1</u>
We need to use the slope equation

We are working with the points,
(17, 2) and (18, -17)
x1 y1 x2 y2

<u>m= -19/1</u>
