medal and fan!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The table below represents the velocity of a car as a function of time:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Time (hour) x Velocity (miles/hours) y 0 50 1 52 2 54 3 56

OpenStudy (anonymous):

late for class i'll try to come back soon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part A: What is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the car? (4 points) Part B: Calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points) Part C: What would be the domain of the function if the velocity of the car was measured until it reached 60 miles/hour and the car does not change motion? (2 points)

@Keigh2015 @Michele_Laino @tkhunny can you help please?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here we have to write the equation of the function between speed and time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay how do we do that?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have to strat from the general equation: \(v=at+b\) where \(v\) is the speed, and \(t\) is time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: let's consider the first point \((0,50)\), which means that when t=0, then v=50, so I can rewrite my equation like below: \(50=a \cdot 0+b\) what is \(b\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=50

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct! so we can update my equation as follows: \(v=at+50\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

next I consider the second point \((1,52)\) and, as before, I rewrite my equation with such point \(52= a \cdot 1 +50\) what is \(a\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=2

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!! :) so the equation is: \(v=2t+50\) now, what are the slope, and the y-intercept ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: |dw:1454527739675:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i went to get something to eat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay i get it i think

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

for part B, we have to compute this quantity: \[\Large \frac{{v\left( 3 \right) - v\left( 1 \right)}}{{3 - 1}} = \frac{{56 - 52}}{2} = ...?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have not been able to answer this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im really frustrated

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is simple: \[\Large \frac{{v\left( 3 \right) - v\left( 1 \right)}}{{3 - 1}} = \frac{{56 - 52}}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2\] which represents an average acceleration Now, I have to go out with my car, I'm sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wich part did we do

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the third part, namely part C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so did we finish the question?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, I'm sorry I have to go out, I will try to return as soon as possible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thank you

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

:)

OpenStudy (thadds2003):

Ok, Well I cant solve this problem, But @ganeshie8 @Luigi0210 @mayankdevnani @dumbcow @dan815 @Awolflover1 can. Good luck bro.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zepdrix can you help me with the last part of this please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@TrojanPoem can you help please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just need help with part c

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

The function : v = v0 + at v0 = 50 m/h ( from the table) at t = 1 , v = 52 52 = 50 + a a = 2 so the function is: v= v0 + at v = 50 + 2t the y-intercept is the initial velocity (at the beginning of studying the motion) the maximum value for the domain is 60 now we 0.5 v - 25 = t t > 0 0.5v > 25 v > 50 so the range is [50,60] now to find the domain find t when v = maximum = 60 60 = 50 + 2t 10 = 2t t = 5 second domain [0,5]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this part C ?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

I solved it all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

(C) domain [0,5]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me what part c is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have part A/B

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

find t when v = maximum = 60 60 = 50 + 2t 10 = 2t t = 5 second domain [0,5]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is all there is for part c?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay then! thank you!!

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Any time.

OpenStudy (tboi):

If you have solved this question you need to close it, ok. I dont mean to be rude just saying.
