Answer:

a) T = 20.601 N

b) T = 9.4585 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The tension in the string if the 5.8 kg box is held in place, so that it cannot move can be obtained as follows

For m = 2.1 Kg

∑ Fy = 0

T - W = 0  ⇒  T = W = m*g

⇒  T = 2.1 Kg*9.81 m/s²

⇒  T = 20.601 N  (↑)

The tension in the string once the box begins to move can be obtained as follows

For M = 5.8 Kg

∑ Fx' = M*a

where x' is the direction of the slope

then

∑ Fx' = M*a   ⇒  <em>T - M*g*Sin ∅ = M*a    (I)</em>

For m = 2.1 Kg

∑ Fy = m*a

⇒  T - W = m*a

⇒  <em>T - m*g = m*a    (II)</em>

If we solve the system of equations that comprises <em>I</em> and <em>II</em> we will know T:

T = M*m*g*(Sin ∅ -1) / (m - M)

⇒  T = (5.8 Kg)(2.1 Kg)(9.81 m/s²)(Sin 45º - 1) / (2.1 Kg - 5.8 Kg)

⇒  T = 9.4585 N

What can you say about the y-values of the two functions f(x)=-5^x +2 and g(x)=-5x^2+2?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

B) The maximum y-value of f(x) approaches 2

C) g(x) has the largest possible y-value

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-5^x+2

f(x) is an exponential function.

Lim x→∞ f(x) = Lim x→∞ (-5^x+2) = -5^(∞)+2 = -∞+2→ Lim x→∞ f(x) = -∞

Lim x→ -∞ f(x) = Lim x→ -∞ (-5^x+2) = -5^(-∞)+2 = -1/5^∞+2 = -1/∞+2 = 0+2→

Lim x→ -∞ f(x) = 2

Then the maximun y-value of f(x) approaches 2


g(x)=-5x^2+2

g(x) is a quadratic function. The graph is a parabola

g(x)=ax^2+bx+c

a=-5<0, the parabola opens downward and has a maximum value at

x=-b/(2a)

b=0

c=2

x=-0/2(-5)

x=0/10

x=0

The maximum value is at x=0:

g(0)=-5(0)^2+2=-5(0)+2=0+2→g(0)=2

The maximum value of g(x) is 2
