Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent question: Find the slope of line going through points (1,-5) and (10,13).

Line points up vertically and subtract. Then put 2nd difference on top of first difference.

(1,-5)

(10,13)

---------'subtracting

-9, -18

So the slope of the line gong through point's (1,-5) and (10,13) is -18/-9=2.

The common difference of an arithmetic sequence whose first term is -5 and whose tenth term is 13 is 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first four terms are 17, 15, 13, and 11.

What is a function?

function is a relationship between inputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Example:

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

f(n):

f(1) = 17

f(n) = f(n - 1) - 2 if n > 1

Now,

The first term is 17.

The second term.
f(2) = f(2 - 1) - 2

= f(1) - 2

= 17 - 2

= 15

The third term.

= f(3 - 1) - 2

= f(2) - 2

= 15 - 2

= 13

The fourth term.

f(4) = f(4 - 1) - 2
= f(3) - 2

= 13 - 2

= 11

Thus,

The terms are 17, 15, 13, 11

Kara ate 2 7/9 of the raisins she packed. Which box shows the decimal equivalent of the amount of raisins she ate? Box A: 2.777 etc Box B: 2.79 Box C: 2.999 etc.

Answers

Answer:  Box A, 2.777

=======================================================

Explanation:

When using a calculator or long division, you should find that

7/9 = 0.7777...

where the 7s go on forever

So we can say that 7/9 = 0.777 approximately. You could argue that the last '7' would round up to an '8' and we could say 7/9 = 0.778; however, I'll stick to the first value so that it matches with the answer.

Since 7/9 = 0.777, this means 2 & 7/9 = 2 + 7/9 = 2 + 0.777 = 2.777 which is box A.

(b) In a formula, z varies inversely as P. If Z is 200 when P is 4, find z when P is 10.

Answers

Answer:

(a) 18

(b) 80

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) let y=kx

so, 24=16k

or, k=24/16 or, k=3/2

now, putting x=12

y=kx

or, y=(3/2)×12

or, y=3×12/2

or, y=36/2

or, y=18

(b) let P=k/z

so, 4=k/200

or, k=800

when P = 10

P=k/z

or, 10=800/z

or, z=800/10

or, z=80

Maximum and minimum value

Answers

Answer:

Maximum: 1

Minimum: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can find the derivative of the function and then solve for when the derivative is equal to 0, finding the local maximum and minimum values in this function. Then, we can compare those points to the endpoints of the interval to find the maximum and minimum.

Using the Quotient Rule, we can say that

(f/g) ' = (f'g - fg')/(g²)

[tex]\frac{2x}{x^2+1}dx = \frac{\frac{d}{dx}(2x) * (x^2+1) - \frac{d}{dx} (x^2+1) * (2x) }{(x^2+1)^2} \\= \frac{2 *(x^2+1) - (2x)*(2x)}{(x^2+1)^2} \\[/tex]

Since we just need to solve for 0, we can disregard for the bottom part, resulting in

2(x²+1)-(2x)(2x) = 0

2x²+2-4x² = 0

2-2x² = 0

add 2x² to both sides to isolate the x² and its coefficient

2x² = 2

divide both sides by 2

x²=1

x = ±1

Therefore, we have 4 possible values for the maximum and minimum over this interval:

-2, -1, 0, 1

Trying each of these numbers into f(x),

f(-2) = -4/5

f(-1) = -2/2 = -1

f(0) = 0/1 = 0

f(1) = 2/2 = 1

Therefore, the maximum and minimum values of the function over the given interval are 1 and -1 respectively

An automobile manufacturer has given its car a 46.7 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this car since it is believed that the car has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 150 cars, they found a mean MPG of 46.5. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.1. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis H0: The null hypothesis states that there is no relationship between the two things that are being considered.

The alternative hypothesis is contradictory to H0 and it explains that there is a relationship between the two selected variables.

Based on the question, the null hypothesis H0 is that the rating of car is equal to 46.7 miles per gallon. μ = 46.7 MPG

The alternative hypothesis Ha is that the rating of the car is not equal to 46.7 Miles per gallon. μ ≠ 46.7 MPG

7(x + 1) + 2 = 5x + 15

~Simplify left side

7x + 7 + 2 = 5x + 15

~Combine like terms

7x + 9 = 5x + 15

~Subtract 9 to both sides

7x = 5x + 6

~Subtract 5x to both sides

2x = 6

~Divide 2 to both sides

A ball is thrown straight up into the air from an initial height of 5 feet at time t = 0. The height, in feet, of the ball above the ground is given by h(t), where t is measured in seconds for 0 ≤ t ≤ 15. Based on the values of t and h(t) given in the table, for which value of t would the speed of the ball most likely be the greatest?

t (seconds) 0 3 6 9 12 15
h(t) (feet) 5 12 15 11 6 0

Select one:
a. 2 seconds
b. 5 seconds
c. 9 seconds
d. 15 seconds

Answers

Answer:

5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of an object is the rate of distance over time. The value of time (t) at the greatest speed of the ball is at 2 seconds

First, we calculate the speed using:

[tex]Speed = \frac{h(t)}{t}[/tex] --- i.e. distance/time

At t = 0, h(t) = 5

So;

[tex]Speed = \frac{5}{0} = unde fine d[/tex]

At t = 3, h(t) = 12

[tex]Speed = \frac{12}{3} = 4[/tex]

At t = 6, h(t) = 15

[tex]Speed = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5[/tex]

At t = 9, h(t) = 11

[tex]Speed = \frac{11}{9} = 1.2[/tex]

At t = 12, h(t) = 6

[tex]Speed = \frac{6}{12} = 0.5[/tex]

At t = 15, h(t) = 0

[tex]Speed = \frac{0}{15} = 0[/tex]

By comparing the above values, we notice that as time and height increases, the value of speed reduces.

This means that the greatest value of speed will be at the least value of time (t).

From the given options, the least value of time is at:

[tex]t = 2[/tex]

Hence, the value of time (t) at the greatest speed of the ball is at 2 seconds
