Answer:

22.35 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is always a positive unit, so distance traveled (d) = 15 miles

Time (t) = 0.3 hours

Time (t) = 0.3 * 60 = 18 minutes

(1 hour = 60 minutes)

Velocity (v) = ?

The formula of distance is: d = v*t

=> v = d/t = 15/18 = 0.83 miles/minute

we can also calculate velocity is meter/sec, for that

1 minute = 60 sec

=> 18 mins = 18*60 = 1080 sec

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

=> 15 miles = 15 * 1609.34 = 24,140 m

hence,

v = 24,140/1080 = 22.35 m/s

Show work. This is a BC calculus problem.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the limit definition of a derivative at a point is:

$\displaystyle{\frac{d}{dx}[f(a)]= \lim_{x \to a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}}$

Hence, if we let f(x) be ln(x+1) and a be 1, this will yield:

$\displaystyle{\frac{d}{dx}[f(1)]= \lim_{x \to 1}\frac{\ln(x+1)-\ln(2)}{x-1}}$

Hence, the limit is equivalent to the derivative of f(x) at x=1, or f’(1).

The answer will thus be D.

Random samples of size 81 are taken from an infinite population whose mean and standard deviation are 200 and 18, respectively.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

d. 200 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
