Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
s(t) = 10t²
To find s(2) and s(5) substitute t = 2 and t = 5 into f(t)
(a)
s(2) = 10 × 2² = 10 × 4 = 40
s(5) = 10 × 5² = 10 × 25 = 250
(b)
s(5) - s(2) = 250 - 40 = 210
This represents the distance travelled in 3 hours
(c)
The average rate of change is measured as
=
=
= 70 miles per hour
Answer: The sailboat is at a distance of 15 km from the port.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a sail boat leaves port and sails 12 kilometers west and then 9 kilometers north.
We are to find the distance between the sailboat from the port in kilometers.
Since the directions west and north are at right-angles, we can visualize the movement of the sailboat in the form of a right-angled triangle as shown in the attached figure.
The sailboat moves leaves the port at P and reach O after sailing 12 km west. From point O, again it moves towards north 9 km and reach the point S.
PS = ?
Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have from right-angled triangle SOP,
Thus, the sailboat is at a distance of 15 km from the port.
