Amy graphed a function that gives the height of a car on a roller coaster as a function of time. She said her graph is the graph of a step function. Is this possible? Explain your reasoning

The derivative of the equation g(x) = 8x^2 – 4; h(x) = 1.6^x is f'(x) = 40.96x · 1.6^x - 15.040128 · 1.6^x

To find the derivative of f(x) = g(x) · h(x), we use the product rule of derivatives, which states that if f(x) = u(x) · v(x), then f'(x) = u'(x) · v(x) + u(x) · v'(x).

Using this rule, we can find the derivative of f(x) = g(x) · h(x) as follows:

f(x) = g(x) · h(x) = (8x^2 – 4) · (1.6^x)

f'(x) = g'(x) · h(x) + g(x) · h'(x) [applying the product rule]

To find g'(x), we take the derivative of g(x) = 8x^2 – 4, which is:

g'(x) = 16x

To find h'(x), we take the derivative of h(x) = 1.6^x, which is:

h'(x) = ln(1.6) · 1.6^x [using the chain rule and the fact that the derivative of a^x is ln(a) · a^x]

h'(x) ≈ 0.470004 · 1.6^x

Now we substitute these values into the product rule formula:

f'(x) = (16x) · (1.6^x) + (8x^2 – 4) ·0.470004 · 1.6^x

Simplifying this expression, we get:

f'(x) = 25.6^x + (12.8x^2 – 6.4) ·0.470004 · 1.6^x

f'(x) = 40.96x · 1.6^x - 15.040128 · 1.6^x
Therefore, the derivative of f(x) = g(x) · h(x) is:
f'(x) = 40.96x · 1.6^x - 15.040128 · 1.6^x

When multiplying a whole number with a fraction, the first factor will be reduced to a fraction or a decimal, depending on the problem.

In both of the given problems, we are multiplying a whole number with a fraction. When we multiply a whole number with a fraction, we can simply multiply the whole number with the numerator of the fraction and keep the denominator as it is. So, in the first problem, we have 10 multiplied by 1/2. Multiplying 10 with 1 gives us 10, and then we divide it by 2, which gives us 5. Therefore, the first factor, which is 10, will be reduced to 5 in this problem.

In the second problem, we have 15 multiplied by 7/2. Multiplying 15 with 7 gives us 105, and then we divide it by 2, which gives us 52.5. Therefore, the first factor, which is 15, will be reduced to 52.5 in this problem.

The home repair crew worked for 9 days.

To determine the number of days the home repair crew worked for, we can use algebra. Let's assume that the number of days they worked for is represented by "d". We know that they charge $75 per day plus a $250 service fee, so we can set up the following equation:

75d + 250 = 925

Simplifying the equation, we get:

75d = 675

Dividing both sides by 75, we get:

d = 9

However, we need to keep in mind that the $250 service fee is a one-time charge, not a daily charge. So we need to subtract that from the total amount to get the actual amount charged for the days worked:

925 - 250 = 675

Dividing 675 by the daily rate of $75, we get:

675 / 75 = 9

Therefore, the home repair crew worked for 9 days.

The volume of the large box is 120[tex]s^3[/tex].

If Frank can fit 15 cube-shaped containers in each layer and stack 8 layers into one box, then the total number of containers he can fit in one box is:

15 containers/layer x 8 layers = 120 containers

Since each container is cube-shaped, we can assume that it has the same length, width, and height. Let's represent the length of one side of the container as "s". Then, the volume of one container is:

Volume of one container = [tex]s^3[/tex]

The volume of 120 containers that can fit in one box is:

Volume of 120 containers = 120 x Volume of one container

Substituting the expression for the volume of one container, we get:

Volume of 120 containers = 120[tex]s^3[/tex]

To determine the probability of the coin flip and the cube roll describing the pizza crust and topping combination made at Mario's Pizzeria, we need to consider the total possible outcomes of these events.

There are 2 types of crust, so the coin has 2 sides (heads for one crust type and tails for the other). For the toppings, there are 6 options, represented by the numbers 1 to 6 on the number cube.

First, we find the total possible outcomes by multiplying the number of crust options (2) by the number of topping options (6):
Total possible outcomes = 2 crust options * 6 topping options = 12 combinations

Since there is only one specific combination that Mario's Pizzeria just made, the probability of the coin flip and the cube roll describing this specific combination is:
Probability = 1 (specific combination) / 12 (total possible outcomes)

To express this as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth, divide 1 by 12:
Probability ≈ 0.083

So, the probability that the coin flipped and the cube rolled will describe the pizza crust and topping combination that Mario's Pizzeria just made is approximately 0.083, or 8.3%.

The amount of time it would take for the ball to reach its maximum height is 2.1825 seconds.

Based on the information provided, we can logically deduce that the height (h) in feet, of this ball above the​ ground is related to time by the following quadratic function:

Next, we would determine the maximum height of this ball by taking the first derivate in order to determine the time (t) it takes as follows;

h(t) = -16t² + 90t

h'(t) = -32t + 90

90 = 32t

t = 90/32 = 2.1825 seconds.

If the probability of picking out a basketball card is 2/5, and the probability of picking out a football card is 1/3, the probability of Justice randomly picking out a soccer card is 4/15.

To find the probability of Justice picking out a soccer card, we need to know the total probability of all three types of cards adding up to 1. Since there are only three types of cards, we can subtract the probability of picking a basketball card and the probability of picking a football card from 1 to find the probability of picking a soccer card.

Let P(S) be the probability of picking a soccer card.

We know that P(B) = 2/5 and P(F) = 1/3.

Therefore, the total probability of picking one of the three cards is:

P(B) + P(F) + P(S) = 1

Substituting the values we know, we get:

2/5 + 1/3 + P(S) = 1

Simplifying the equation, we get:

6/15 + 5/15 + P(S) = 1

11/15 + P(S) = 1

P(S) = 1 - 11/15

This means that the initial area of the paper before any folding is 90 square inches.

b. To find out how many folds are needed before the area is less than 1 square inch, we can set the expression for the area of the paper after folding to be less than 1 and solve for n:

To express the limit of [tex]L_n[/tex] as n approaches infinity as a definite integral, we can use the fact that the limit of a Riemann sum is equal to the corresponding definite integral. Thus, we can rewrite [tex]L_n[/tex] as:

The evidence on a credit report that indicates good standing may vary depending on the individual's credit history and financial situation.

As an AI language model, I do not have access to specific credit reports or personal information of individuals. However, I can provide you with general information on what constitutes good standing on a credit report and some examples of evidence that may indicate good standing.

A good standing on a credit report typically means that a person has been responsible with their credit and has not defaulted on their payments. This may be indicated by a high credit score, a long credit history, and a low debt-to-credit ratio.

Some examples of evidence that may indicate good standing on a credit report include:

A high credit score: A credit score is a numerical representation of a person's creditworthiness. A high credit score, typically above 700, indicates that a person is in good standing and is likely to be approved for credit or loans. A high credit score may be achieved through a consistent history of making on-time payments, a low debt-to-credit ratio, and a diverse mix of credit accounts.

A low debt-to-credit ratio: A debt-to-credit ratio is the amount of debt a person has compared to their available credit limit. A low debt-to-credit ratio, typically below 30%, indicates that a person is not overextended and is able to manage their credit responsibly. This may be achieved through regular payments and not maxing out credit cards.

⇒ 2 Cos B = 1 Cos B = 1/2

So

B = Cos ⁻¹(1/2)

Hence,

B = 60°

B) Given the above,

Now, we can use the tangent function to find tan B:

tan B = sin B / cos B

  = sin (π/3) / cos (π /3)

  = (√3 / 2) / 0.5

tan B = √3

C ) the area of the rriangle is given as

s = (a + b + c) /2

Substituting

s = (15 + 15√ 3 + 30)/2

s = 30 + 15√3

Area = √ [ (30 + 15√3)(15√3) (15)(30  - 15 - 15√3))

Simplifying  we can say

Area = √(30 + 15√3  )( 15√3)(15)(15 - 5√3 )]

= √[3(10 + 5√3)(15)(3√3 - 1)]

  = √[2250 - 1125√3]

Hence,

Area ≈ 17.36in
