ANSWER

$80 {ms}^{ - 1}$

EXPLANATION

The average velocity of the ball is the rateof displacement over the total time.

The height of the ball, in feet, after t seconds is given by the function:

$f(t)=-16t^2+192t$

At time t=1, the height of the ball is

$f(1)=-16(1)^2+192(1)$

$f(1)=-16+192 = 176ft$

At time t=6, the height of the ball is

$f(6)=-16(6)^2+192(6)$

$f(6)=-16(36)+192(6)$

$f(6)=-576+1152 = 576$

The average velocity

$= \frac{f(6) - f(1)}{6 - 1}$

$= \frac{576- 176}{6 - 1}$

$= \frac{400}{5}$

$= 80 {ms}^{ - 1}$

Consider the error in using the approximation e−x≈1−x on the interval [−1,1]. (a) reasoning informally, on what interval is this

crimeas [40]

$e^{-x} \approx 1 - x$

is a classic approximation, true for small x.

The next term in the polynomial expansion will be $+kx^2$ where k is a positive number. So our estimate 1-x is definitely an underestimate on both sides of x=0.

Since for negative xs the exponential rises exponentially and the line only linearly, the exponential exceeds the line for all negative x. For positive x, the line quickly goes negative while the exponential is always positive.

So, there's no interval for which our approximation is an overestimate.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

1/3 , 4/15 , 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is plug the fractions in your calculator and you see that 1/3, 4/15, and 5/6 are repeating, but the others stop after only a couple of decimal places.

Hope this helps!

A student is given that point P(a, b) lies on the terminal ray of angle Theta, which is between StartFraction 3 pi Over 2 EndFra

Harman [31]

Answer:

<em>A.</em>

<em>The student made an error in step 3 because a is positive in Quadrant IV; therefore, </em>

<em /> $cos\theta = \frac{a\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P\ (a,b)$

$r = \± \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} = -\frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}$

Required

Where and which error did the student make

Given that the angle is in the 4th quadrant;

The value of r is positive, a is positive but b is negative;

Hence;

$r = \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}$

Since a belongs to the x axis and b belongs to the y axis;

$cos\theta$ is calculated as thus

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{r}$

Substitute $r = \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}$

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$

Rationalize the denominator

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} * \frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{a\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}$

So, from the list of given options;

<em>The student's mistake is that a is positive in quadrant iv and his error is in step 3</em>

Working simultaneously, four fudge machines complete a big order in 32 hours. All the machines at the fudge factory work at the

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

4 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the rate of the machines 1/x, because every time they complete an order, it takes them x hours. To find x, we have to add the the rates of the individual machines, which would equal the rate of the machines working together. We know that there are four machines working together at the same rate, and it took them 32 hours.

So:

1/x + 1/x + 1/x + 1/x = 1/32

1/4x = 1/32

4x = 32

x = 8

Thus, the rate of the machines is 1/8.

Now we have to find the time of the order with only half of the machines working together. This time, we don't know the combined rate, so I'll substitute it for y.

1/8 + 1/8 = 1/y

1/4 = 1/y

y = 4

The time taken to complete it is 4 hours.
