Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of sound has nothing to do with "sea level" and sound pressure and without the medium air there is no speed of sound. In SI units with dry air at 20°C (68°F), the speed of sound c is 343 meters per second (m/s). This also equates to 1235 km/h, 767 mph, 1125 feet per second (ft/s), or 666 knots.

Find the equation of the line tangent to the graph of

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{15}x+\frac{\pi-2\sqrt{3}}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of the line tangent to the graph of:

$\displaystyle y=\sin^{-1}\big(\frac{x}{5}\big)\text{ at } x=\frac{5}{2}$

So, we will find the derivative of our equation first. Applying the chain rule, we acquire that:

$\displaystyle y^\prime=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{x}{5})^2}}\cdot\frac{1}{5}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle y^\prime=\frac{1}{5\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{25}}}$

We can factor out the denominator within the square root:

$\displaystyle y^\prime =\frac{1}{5\sqrt{\frac{1}{25}\big(25-x^2)}}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle y^\prime=\frac{1}{\sqrt{25-x^2}}$

So, we can find the slope of the tangent line at <em>x</em> = 5/2. By substitution:

$\displaystyle y^\prime=\frac{1}{\sqrt{25-(5/2)^2}}$

Evaluate:

$\displaystyle y^\prime=\frac{1}{\sqrt{75/4}}=\frac{1}{\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2}}=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{15}$

We will also need the point at <em>x</em> = 5/2. Using our original equation, we acquire that:

$\displaystyle y=\sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{\pi}{6}$

So, a point is (5/2, π/6).

Finally, by using the point-slope form, we can write:

$\displaystyle y-\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{15}(x-\frac{5}{2})$

Distribute:

$\displaystyle y-\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{15}x+\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Isolate. Hence, our equation is:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{15}x+\frac{\pi-2\sqrt{3}}{6}$

The degree of the polynomial function f(x) is 4.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Degree of the polynomial function = 4

That means highest degree term of the given polynomial has power = 4

If the roots of a quadratic polynomial are a, b, c, d then the polynomial function will be,

f(x) = (x - a)(x - b)(x - c)(x - d)

It's given in the question that roots are x = -2, -1, 1 and 3

Therefore, polynomial function will be,

f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 3)

From the given options, graph A shows that the graph intersects the x-axis at x = -2, -1, 1 and 3

Therefore, Option A will be the answer.

Write an equation for the following: The temperature is was 72° F and then dropped 2° per hour for the next eight hours.

murzikaleks [220]

so every hour it droped 2 degrees and it did this for eight hours you could times 2 by 8 and get 16 then minus it from 72
