Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The distance that Scott walks is a function of the time he spends walking. Scott can walk 1 half mile every 8 minutes.

Let y is the distance (in miles) and x is time (in minutes).

$\dfrac{0.5}{8}=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\\dfrac{x}{y}=16\\\\y=\dfrac{x}{16}$

The attached graph predicts the shape of the function. Hence, this is the required solution.

Oi

Just calculating the differential. Step by step:

$y=12 \sqrt{x} -x \frac{3}{2}-10 \\ \\ y=12x^{ \frac{1}{2} } -x \frac{3}{2}-10 \ \ \ \boxed{transform \ \sqrt{x} =x^{ \frac{1}{2} }} \\ \\ Differentiating \\ \\ y'=12. \frac{1}{2}.x^{ \frac{1}{2}-1 } -1.x^{1-1}. \frac{3}{2}-0 \\ \\ y'=6.x^{ -\frac{1}{2} } -x^{0}. \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ y'=6. \frac{1}{x^{ \frac{1}{2} }} -1. \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \boxed{y'=\frac{6}{ \sqrt{x} } -\frac{3}{2}}$

If you want to know where the tangent has no slope:

$\frac{6}{ \sqrt{x} } - \frac{3}{2} =0 \\ \\ \frac{6}{ \sqrt{x} } = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ 3 \sqrt{x} =12 \\ \\ \sqrt{x} = \frac{12}{3} \\ \\ \sqrt{x} =4 \\ \\ (\sqrt{x})^2 =4^2 \\ \\ x=16$

Why do you weigh more on earth than space?

Rama09 [41]

Hello there, Lithommie

You see accroding to newtons gravitational law an object that weighs more on earth wieghs less in space due to the lack of strenthness of gravity.

If my answer helped you understand more clearly i would glady apriciate brainliest thank you and have a great day!
