A steel ball is traveling through water with a speed of x meters per second, where x is positive. The drag force, F, in newtons, N, is: F = 0.5 + 0.004(x + 50)(x-2.5). At what speed in meters per second does the ball have a force of 0.5 N, on it?

Answer:

x = 2.5m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that F = 0.5 + 0.004(x + 50)(x – 2.5), where x is the speed in m/s and F is the force in N. To know the speed, x, with F = 0.5N, we have:

0.5 = 0.5 + 0.004(x + 50)(x – 2.5)

This gives

0.004(x + 50)(x – 2.5) = 0 (after adding –0.5 to both sides).

For the multiplication to be 0, (x + 50)(x – 2.5) = 0 because 0.004 is not equal to 0.

Hence

x = –50 or x = 2.5

Since it is said from the question that x is positive then x = 2.5m/s.

HELP LOL, i dont understand

when written as either 8-15-17 or 15-8-17, the date August 15, 2017 has the property that the sum of the squares of the first two numbers is equal to the square of the third number. What is the first date after August 15, 2017 that has this property?

On a coordinate plane, 2 triangles are shown. Triangle 1 has points at A (negative 3, 4), B (negative 2, 1), C (negative 4, 1). Triangle 2 has points at A prime (4, negative 2), B prime (3, negative 5), C prime (5, negative 5).
Which rule represents the translation from the pre-image, ΔABC, to the image, ΔA'B'C'?

(x, y) → (x + 7, y + 6)
(x, y) → (x + 7, y – 6)
(x, y) → (x – 6, y + 7)
(x, y) → (x + 6, y + 7)

An elevator is supported by a cable and is moving downward through the elevator shaft at constant speed.
How does the upward tension force in the cable compare to the downward force of gravity?
A
The only force acting on the elevator is the force of gravity because it is moving downward.

B
The upward tension force in the cable is greater than the downward force of gravity.

C
There are no forces acting on the elevator because it is moving at constant velocity.

D
The upward tension force in the cable is equal to the downward force of gravity.

how do you find the growth rate (like the percentage of growth each week) for an exponential function when you only have the starting value, the amount of weeks and the ending value???? (for example, a plant starts at (0,2) when it is planted, after 18 weeks it is 20 inches) how do you find out the percent of growth each week to plug it into an equation???
