Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{137}{3}\approx 45.7\; \sf m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the velocity function, integrate the acceleration function (and add a constant of integration).

[tex]\begin{aligned}\displaystyle v(t)=\int a(t) &= \int (2t + 2)\; \text{d}t\\\\&=\int 2t \; \text{d}t+\int 2\; \text{d}t\\\\&=\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 2t^{(1+1)}+2t+\text{C}\\\\&=t^2+2t+\text{C}\end{aligned}[/tex]

To find the constant of integration, C, substitute v(0) = -15 into the velocity function and solve for C:

[tex]\begin{aligned}v(0)=(0)^2+2(0)+\text{C}&=-15\\0+0+\text{C}&=-15\\\text{C}&=-15\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the velocity function (in m/s) is:

[tex]v(t)=t^2+2t-15[/tex]

As we want to find the distance travelled during the given time interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 5, we first need to determine if the particle momentarily stops at any point in the given interval (and therefore changes direction). The particle will stop when its velocity is zero, so when v(t) = 0:

[tex]\begin{aligned}v(t)&=0\\\implies t^2+2t-15&=0\\t^2+5t-3t-15&=0\\t(t+5)-3(t+5)&=0\\(t-3)(t+5)&=0\\\\\implies t&=3, -5\end{aligned}[/tex]

As time is positive only, the velocity is zero at t = 3 seconds.

Therefore, at t = 3, the particle changes direction and begins to move in the opposite direction. Therefore, the displacement between 0 ≤ t ≤ 5 consists of two parts: 0 ≤ t ≤ 3 and 3 ≤ t ≤ 5.

To find the distance travelled, first find the displacement function by integrating the velocity function:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\displaystyle s(t)=\int v(t) &= \int (t^2+2t-15)\; \text{d}t\\\\&= \int t^2\; \text{d}t+\int 2t\; \text{d}t-\int 15\; \text{d}t\\\\&=\dfrac{1}{3}t^3+t^2-15t\left(+\text{C}\right) \end{aligned}[/tex]

Distance is the absolute value of displacement.

As we want to find the distance travelled for the intervals 0 ≤ t ≤ 3 and 3 ≤ t ≤ 5, we need to add the absolute values of displacement for these intervals. So, the absolute values of the definite integrals for these intervals:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Distance}&=\left|\int^3_0 v(t)\right|+\left|\int^5_3 v(t)\right|\\\\&=\left|\left[\dfrac{1}{3}t^3+t^2-15t\right]^3_0\right|+\left|\left[\dfrac{1}{3}t^3+t^2-15t\right]^5_3\right|\\\\&=\left|\left(\dfrac{1}{3}(3)^3+(3)^2-15(3)\right)-\left(\dfrac{1}{3}(0)^3+(0)^2-15(0)\right)\right|+\\&\left|\left(\dfrac{1}{3}(5)^3+(5)^2-15(5)\right)-\left(\dfrac{1}{3}(3)^3+(3)^2-15(3)\right)\right|\\\\&=\left|(-27-0)\right|+\left|\left(-\dfrac{25}{3}-(-27)\right)\right|\end{aligned}[/tex]

             [tex]\begin{aligned}&=27+\dfrac{56}{3}\\\\&=\dfrac{137}{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the total distance travelled during the given time interval is 137/3 ≈ 45.7 meters.

This stock trade generated a profit of $600 and a 7.69% return on investment.

The total amount received from selling the shares, after commission.

The total cost of purchasing the shares = $7800

Total amount received from selling the shares = $8400

The commission paid for purchasing the shares and for selling the shares will cancel out since they will both be subtracted, so we do not need to consider them.

Profit on this stock transaction = Total amount received - Total cost of purchasing

= $8400 - $7800

= $600

To calculate the percentage return on investment, we need to divide the profit by the total cost of purchasing the shares, and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.

Percentage return on investment = (Profit / Total cost of purchasing) x 100%

= ($600 / $7800) x 100%

= 7.69%

Therefore, the profit on this stock transaction was $600 and the percentage return on investment was 7.69%.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know which inequality must be true regarding the side lengths of a triangle.

The triangle inequality requires the sum of any two side lengths be greater than the length of the third side:

  a + b > c . . . . . choice A

__

Additional comment

This means it must also be true that ...

  a + c > b

  b + c > a

Of course, this means the sum of the two shortest sides must be more than the longest side. It also means any side length must lie between the sum and difference of the other two side lengths:

  |a - b| < c < a + b

The version of this inequality most often seen uses the > or < symbol. Some authors use the ≥ or ≤ symbol instead. This allows triangles that look like a line segment and have zero area.

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation of the times taken to complete the obstacle course is 0.3125 minutes.

Mean absolute deviation (MAD) is a statistical measure that calculates the average distance between each data point in a dataset and the mean or median of that dataset. It measures the dispersion or variability of the data points in relation to the central tendency of the dataset.

To calculate the MAD, you first find the mean or median of the dataset, and then you calculate the absolute difference between each data point and the mean or median. The absolute differences are then averaged to give the mean absolute deviation.

MAD is expressed in the same units as the original data and is commonly used in finance, economics, and other fields to measure the variability of financial returns, economic indicators, or other datasets. MAD is a robust measure of dispersion that is less sensitive to extreme values or outliers compared to other measures of dispersion such as standard deviation.

Let's say the times taken by the four people are:

Diane: 2 minutes

Friend 1: 1.5 minutes

Friend 2: 2.5 minutes

Friend 3: 1.75 minutes

The mean of these times is:

Mean = (2 + 1.5 + 2.5 + 1.75) / 4 = 1.9375 minutes

Next, we need to find the absolute deviations of each time from the mean. To do this, we subtract the mean from each time and take the absolute value of the result:

|2 - 1.9375| = 0.0625

|1.5 - 1.9375| = 0.4375

|2.5 - 1.9375| = 0.5625

|1.75 - 1.9375| = 0.1875

Then, we find the mean of these absolute deviations:

MAD = (0.0625 + 0.4375 + 0.5625 + 0.1875) / 4 = 0.3125 minutes

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation of the times taken to complete the obstacle course is 0.3125 minutes.

The volume of the tank that will be filled with water through which the given relation is satisfied is [tex]22.5ft^{3}[/tex]

What about volume of cuboid?

The volume of a cuboid is the amount of space occupied by the three-dimensional solid figure known as a cuboid. A cuboid is a box-shaped object with six rectangular faces, where each face has a pair of parallel sides, and opposite faces are equal in size and shape.

The formula for calculating the volume of a cuboid is:

Volume = length x width x height

where length, width, and height are the three dimensions of the cuboid.

The unit of measurement for the volume of a cuboid will depend on the unit of measurement used for each dimension. For example, if the length, width, and height are measured in centimeters, then the volume of the cuboid will be expressed in cubic centimeters (cm³). Similarly, if the dimensions are measured in meters, the volume will be expressed in cubic meters (m³).

According to the given information:

As, we know that volume of cuboid is = length x breath x height

To graph the equation y=-x^2+12x-35, we need to find the vertex and the roots of the equation.

The equation can be written in vertex form as y=-(x-6)^2+1, where the vertex is (6,1).

To find the monthly payments, we can use the PMT function in Excel or a financial calculator. The formula is:

PMT(rate, nper, pv)

where rate is the interest rate per period, nper is the total number of periods, and pv is the present value (i.e. loan amount).

For this problem, the interest rate is 8%/12 = 0.0066667 per month, the number of periods is 4 years * 12 months/year = 48 months, and the present value is $10,000. Therefore, the formula becomes:

PMT(0.0066667, 48, 10000)

Evaluating this formula gives a monthly payment of $242.42.

To find the total interest for the loan, we can multiply the monthly payment by the number of periods (i.e. 48) and subtract the loan amount. This gives:

total interest = monthly payment * number of periods - loan amount

total interest = $242.42 * 48 - $10,000

total interest = $2,678.16

Therefore, the monthly payments are $242.42 and the total interest for the loan is $2,678.16.

What is a linear equation in mathematics?

A linear equation in algebra is one that only contains a constant and a first-order (direct) element, such as y = mx b, where m is the pitch and b is the y-intercept.

                         Sometimes the following is referred to as a "direct equation of two variables," where y and x are the variables. Direct equations are those in which all of the variables are powers of one. In one example with just one variable, layoff b = 0, where a and b are real numbers and x is the variable, is used.

According to the problem,

width of the rectangle is  x units

Area of the rectangle is 10 square units

The values  of x and y that make the triangles congruent by HL are:

x = 3 and y = 1

From the question, we are to determine the values of x and y that make the triangles congruent by HL.

Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three corresponding sides are equal and all the three corresponding angles are equal in measure.

Thus,

For the triangles to be right congruent by HL

x = y + 2

and

x + 1 = 4y

Solve the equations simultaneously

Substitute x = y + 2 in the second equation

x + 1 = 4y

y + 2 + 1 = 4y

y + 3 = 4y

3 = 4y - y

3 = 3y

Divide both sides by 3

3/3 = 3y/3

1 = y

Therefore,

y = 1

Substitute the value of y into the first equation

x = y + 2

x = 1 + 2

x = 3
