Hey there :)

Now lets name each house

    A             B              C              D             E                  F
500ft <-> 500ft <-> 500ft <-> 500ft <-> 500ft   <->   2000ft

Let's say the bus stops at A
= 0 ( from A ) + 500 ( from B ) +  500 + 500 ( from C ) + 500 + 500 + 500 ( from D ) + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 ( from E ) + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 2000 ( from F )
= 0 + 500 + 1000 + 1500 + 2000 + 4000
= 9000 ft

at B
= 500 ( from A ) + 0 ( from B ) + 500 ( from C ) + 500 + 500 ( from D ) + 500 + 500 + 500 ( from E ) + 500 + 500 + 500 + 2000 ( from F )
= 500 + 0 + 500 + 1000 + 1500 + 3500
= 7000 ft

at C
= 500 ( from A ) + 500 + 500 ( from B ) + 0 ( from C ) + 500 ( from D ) + 500 + 500 ( from E ) + 500 + 500 + 2000 ( from F )
= 500 + 1000 + 0 + 500 + 1000 + 3000
= 6000 ft

Do the same for D ,  E  and F

at D
= 6000 ft

at E 
= 7000 ft

at F
= 15000 ft

You will find that the bus should stop at either C or D to make the sum of distances from every house to the stop as small as possible.

Start with the general formula. The key word is difference. So the general formula is 

D(x) = W(x) - R(x) Now substitute in the values for W(x) and R(x)
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - (x^2 - 4x  + 13) Be very careful about the sign in front of the brackets.

D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 13 Do you see what that minus sign did? It affected all 3 terms.

D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 1.01x^2 + 4x - 13 <em>Note: -0.01 - 1x^2 = - 1.01 x^2</em>
That gives you a clear cut answer

C<<<<< answer.

That sign is the worst part of the question. Make sure you understand what it did.

(4 pts) If a rock is thrown vertically upward from the surface of Mars with an initial velocity of 15m/sec
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I see you're in college math, so we'll solve this with calculus, since it's the easiest way anyway.

The position equation is

s(t)=-1.86t^2+15t  That equation will give us the height of the rock at ANY TIME during its travels. I could find the height at 2 seconds by plugging in a 2 for t; I could find the height at 12 seconds by plugging in a 12 for t, etc.

The first derivative of position is velocity:

v(t) = -3.72t + 15 and you stated that the rock will be at its max height when the velocity is 0, so we plug in a 0 for v(t):

0 = -3.72t + 15 and solve for t:\

-15 = -3.72t so

t = 4.03 seconds. This is how long it takes to get to its max height. Knowing that, we can plug 4.03 seconds into the position equation to find the height at 4.03 seconds:

s(4.03) = -1.86(4.03)² + 15(4.03) so

s(4.03) = 30.2 meters.

Calculus is amazing. Much easier than most methods to solve problems like this.
