A team of scientists is traveling by boat to study a pod, or group, of dolphins. The equation y = 0.2x can be used to find the d

istance, y, in miles the boat travels in x minutes. The dolphins are currently 8.4 mi from the boat. If the dolphins stay to where they are, how long will it take the boat to reach them? Show your work.

Answer:

42 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

y = 0.2*x

is the equation that that defines the distance, in miles, that the boat travels in x minutes.

We know that the dolphins are at 8.4 miles from the boat.

Then when we have y = 8.4, this will mean that the boat reached the dolphins.

Then we need to solve the equation:

y = 8.4 = 0.2*x

for x

To do that, we just need to isolate x in one side of the equation, so we can just divide both sides by 0.2 to get:

8.4/0.2 = (0.2*x)/0.2

42 = x

And x is time in minutes, thus, the boat needs to travel for 42 minutes to reach the dolphins.

I think the answer would be x=-7
y= 4x-1
y= 3x+6
y= 1x-1+6
y= 1x-7
x=-7

Graph the first six terms of a sequence where a_1=4 and r=2
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:   The standard formula for geometric sequence is an = a1 * r^(n-1) where r is the geometric factor and n is an integer. In this problem, upon substitution, an = 4*2^(n-1).

You want to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating about the x-axis the region under the curve y = x 1 / 6 y=x1/6 fro
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Area = πr², where "r" is some distance "y" and/or the function "(1/6)x"; depending on the situation

Step-by-step explanation:

If I'm picturing this correctly, you'll have conical shape after revolving the function about the x-axis. If you took some generic slice and wanted to find the area of the resulting cross-section, then you would have a circle whose radius is some arbitrary value of the line that matches the slice.

For example:

y = (1/6)x right?

If you took a slice at x = 2, then the radius of the resulting cross-sectional circle would be equal to y = (1/6)•2 =1/3.

From here you just plug it into the area of a circle, πr², to get an area of π/3.

Except with an integral you need to take all the points on the interval, so the radius comes out to be the function itself.

Assuming your integral is in terms of dx, r=y. But in order to integrate in terms of dx you must replace "y" with its function (1/6)x. So ultimately r=(1/6)x and Area = π(1/6)x.
