Justin Verlander of the Astros threw a pitch 100 miles per hour. How many seconds did it take to get to home plate. The plate is

castortr0y [4]

It will take 0.4 seconds to get to the home plate.

Given:

The speed of the pitch thrown by Justin is 100 miles per hour

The distance of home plate from the pitching rubber is 60.5 feet

To find:

The time taken by a pitch to reach the home plate

Solution:

The distance home plate from the pitching rubber = d = 60.5 feet

$1 mile = 5280 feet\\1 foot=\frac{1}{5280} mile\\60.5 feet=60.5 \times \frac{1}{5280} mile=\frac{60.5}{5280}miles$

The speed of pitch thrown by Justin = s = 100 miles/hr

The time taken by a pitch to reach the home plate = t =?

The speed of the moving object is given by dividing the distance covered from the time taken to cover that distance.

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\s=\frac{d}{t}\\100 miles/hr=\frac{\frac{60.5}{5280}miles}{t}\\t=\frac{60.5}{5280}miles\times \frac{1}{100 miles/hr}\\= 0.000114583 hr$

In an hour there are 3600 seconds, then in 0.000114583 hours will be:

$1 hour=3600 seconds\\=0.000114583 \times 3600=0.4124988 s\approx 0.4 s$

It will take 0.4 seconds to get to the home plate.

Find a positive number for which the sum of it and its reciprocal is the smallest (least) possible. Let x be the number and let

Allisa [31]

Answer:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$ --- Objective function

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the number with x

The required sum can be represented as:

$x + \frac{1}{x}$

Hence, the objective function is:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

To get the the interval, we start by differentiating w.r.t x

Using first principle, this gives:

$S'(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Equate S'(x) to 0 in order to solve for x

$0 = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$0 -1 = 1 -1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

$-1 = - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Multiply both sides by -1

$1 = \frac{1}{x^2}$

Cross Multiply

$x^2 * 1 = 1$

$x^2 = 1$

Take positive square root of both sides because x is positive

$\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{1$

$x = 1$

Representing x using interval notation, we have

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

To get the smallest sum, we substitute 1 for x in $S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

$S(1) = 1 + \frac{1}{1}$

$S(1) = 1 + 1$

$S(1) = 2$

Hence, the smallest sum is 2
