Answers

Answer 1

Hello!

[tex]\large\boxed{a = -1}[/tex]

y = 2x³ + ax² - x + 3

Find the derivative using the power rule:

y' = 6x² + 2ax - 1

Substitute in the given slope and x value to solve for a:

3 = 6(1)² + 2(1)a - 1

3 = 6 + 2a - 1

4 = 6 + 2a

-2 = 2a

a = -1

The definition of a derivative is the slope of the tangent line.

The derivative of a constant is equal to 0.

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿf’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = 2x³ + ax² - x + 3

y'(1) = 3

Step 2: Differentiate

Basic Power Rule:                    y' = 3 · 2x³⁻¹ + 2 · ax²⁻¹ - 1 · x¹⁻¹ + 0Simplify:                                    y' = 6x² + 2ax - 1

Step 3: Solve for a

Substitute:                         3 = 6(1)² + 2a(1) - 1Exponents:                        3 = 6(1) + 2a(1) - 1Multiply:                             3 = 6 + 2a - 1Combine like terms:         3 = 5 + 2aIsolate a term:                   -2 = 2aIsolate a:                            -1 = aRewrite:                             a = -1

Huey is reading a book that is 697 pages long. He tells a friend that he is about 3/4 of the way done. About how many more pages must Huey read before he finishes the book?

is it
A.160
B.175
C.250
D.150

Answers

Answer:

B. 175

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways that we can find the answer to this question:

1. Take 1/4 of 697

2. Take 3/4 of 697 and minus the product from 697.

Let's do it both ways:

If we are doing it the first way it would look like this:

(1/4)(697) = 175

Note that we get 1/4 because Huey already read 3/4 of the book so he has 1/4 left.

The second way would look like this:

(3/4)(697) = 523

679 - 523 = 174 (roughly 175)

Therefore, the answer to your question would be B. 175.

Ella measured the height of a in inches every week for four weeks after planting it what is the best prediction for the height of the plant after 12 weeks

Answers

Complete question is;

Elle Measured the height of a plant, in inches,Every week for four weeks after planting it.

The height of the plant, h, in inches, Can be modeled by the function h(t) = 1.5t + 3, where t represents the time in weeks.

Based on this model, what is the best prediction for the height of the plant after 12 weeks?

A 16.5 inches

B 21 inches

C 22.5 inches

D 27.3 inches

Answer:

Option B: 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function h(t) = 1.5t + 3, where t represents the time in weeks.

At t = 0;

h(0): 1.5(0) + 3 = 3inches

At t = 1;

h(1): 1.5(1) + 3 = 4.5 inches

Thus, after 12 weeks, height will be;

h(12): 1.5(12) + 3 = 21 inches

Option B is correct

Answers

Answer:

x = 8

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Brackets Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction Left to Right

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

3(x - 2) = 2(x + 1)

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute:                                     3x - 6 = 2x + 2Subtract 2x on both sides:          x - 6 = 2Add 6 to both sides:                    x = 8

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    3(8 - 2) = 2(8 + 1)Subtract/Add:                      3(6) = 2(9)Multiply:                               18 = 18

Here we see that 18 does indeed equal 18.

∴ x = 8 is a solution to the equation.

The mass of the sun using Newton's form of Kepler's 3rd law is;

M = 1.99 * 10³⁰ kg

How to calculate the mass of the sun?

Newton's form of Kepler's 3rd law shows us the orbit of a planet around the Sun. This relates the semi major axis distance of the orbit to the period of the orbit using the equation:

p² = (4π²/GM) * a³

Where:

p is the orbital period;

G is the gravitation constant;

M is the mass of the Sun;

a is the orbit semi major axis distance.

Making M the subject gives;

M =  (4π²a³/Gp²

Plugging in;

Now for planet Earth:

a = 1.496 * 10¹¹m

p = 3.154 * 10⁷ s

Putting in those values to find M is;

M = 1.99 * 10³⁰ kg

Describe the domain and range.
1. r(x) = | |x|

Answers

Domain of r(x) = |x| is ( −∞, ∞ ) , { x | x ∈ R }

Range of r(x) = |x| is [ 0 , ∞ ) , { y | y ≥ 0 }

The domain of a function is defined as the set of values that we are allowed to enter into the function. This set is a bunch of x values in a function such as r(x).

The domain of the given function r(x) is all real numbers except where this expression, r(x) = |x| is undefined. In this question, there is no real number that makes this expression undefined.

The interval is denoted as ( −∞ , ∞ ).

The set builder is denoted as { x | x ∈ R }.

The range of a function is defined as the set of values that the function can assume. This set is a bunch of the values that the function shoots out after we enter a x value in. The range is a set of all valid y values. We have to use the graph to find the range.

The interval is denoted as [ 0 , ∞ )

The set builder is denoted as { y | y ≥ 0 }

Therefore, we get the domain and range as,

Domain of r(x) = |x| is ( −∞, ∞ ) , { x | x ∈ R }

Range of r(x) = |x| is [ 0 , ∞ ) , { y | y ≥ 0 }

Answers

Answer: bowl of soup=$1.75

carton of juice=$1.25

fruit cup=$2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

j=carton of juice. f=fruit cup. s=bowl of soup.

9j=5f

f=s+0.5 ==> 0.5 dollars is 50 cents

s=j+0.5

j=s-0.5

9(s-0.5)=5(s+0.5)

9s-4.5=5s+2.5

4s-4.5=2.5

4s=7

s=7/4

s=$1.75

s=j+0.5

1.75=j+0.5

j=$1.25

f=1.75+0.5

f=$2.25

Two people are pulling on a rope in order to get a 2250-kg car out of a mud puddle. One person pulls with a force of 600 N and the other pulls with a force of 800 N. There is a resistive frictional force of 1200 N. Use the acceleration found in the previous question to determine the distance they would pull the vehicle in 25s (answer with 2 digits, include properly abbreviated units) *

Answers

Answer:

Assuming both people are pulling in the same direction, the net force on the car is, according to Newton's second law,

600 N + 800 N - 1200 N = (2250 kg) a

Solve for the acceleration a :

200 N = (2250 kg) a

From the two triangles:
