Answer:

<h3>A. about 3.4 seconds</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the volume of air in liters in the human lungs described by the function V(t) = 0.173t +0.15t^2 - 0.035t^3 where t is the time in seconds,

The beginning of this respiratory cycle for the lungs to fill to their maximum volume of air occurs when dV/dt = 0

dV/dt = 0.173 + 0.3t - 3(0.035)t²

dV/dt = 0.173 + 0.3t - 0.105t²

Since dV/dt = 0

0.173 + 0.3t - 0.105t² = 0

multiply through by -1

-0.173 - 0.3t + 0.105t² = 0

0.105t² -0.3t-0.173 = 0

Factorize;

t = 0.3±√0.3²+4(0.105(0.173))/2(0.105)

t = 0.3±√0.09+0.07266/0.21

t = 0.3±√0.16266/0.21

t = 0.30±0.4033/0.21

t = 0.7033/0.21

t = 3.349secs

t ≈ 3.4secs

Hence it will take about 3.4secs for the lungs to fill to their maximum volume of air

1/4 of a pipe is white , 1/2 part of the remaining is blue. If the remaining part is black and the length of this black part is

hram777 [196]

Answer: 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First take out 1/4 of the pipe, the portion that is white. Then, half of three quarters of the pipe is blue. 1/2 of 3/4 is 3/8. 3/8(blue) + 2/8(white) = 5/8. Thus, 3/8 of the pipe is black. Thus, take 5.25(The length of the black portion) and multiply it by 8/3(reciprocal of 3/8) to get 14.

Would you use the median or mean to describe the center of each data set? Explain your reasoning. Heights of 50 basketball playe

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Median is used to describe the center of the data of heights of 50 basketball players.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median divides the data into two equal parts.

It can be used to describe the center of the data.

The mean gives the average where most data lies.

The advantages of median are

1)it is located even when the values are not capable of quantitative measurements.

2) It is not affected by extreme values > It can be computed even when a frequency distribution involves open end classes like those of income and prices.

3) In a highly skewed distribution median is appropriate average to use.

The disadvantages of the mean are

1) it is greatly affected by extreme values.

2) It sometimes gives fallacious conclusions.

3) In a highly skewed distribution mean is not an appropriate average to use.

4) It cannot be computed even when a frequency distribution involves open end classes like those of income and prices.

Question 2: Please help I do not understand this question.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The measurement of AB is 16.23.

Solution:

Given ACB is a right angled triangle.

AC = 10, ∠C = 90° and ∠A = 52°.

cos θ ≈ 0.616

Here AC is the base and AB is Hypotenuse.

To find the length of AB:

$$\cos\theta=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

$$\cos 52^\circ=\frac{10}{AB}$

$$0.616=\frac{10}{AB}$

Do cross multiplication, we get

$$AB=\frac{10}{0.616}$

AB = 16.23

Hence the measurement of AB is 16.23.
