An ant arrives at the snail’s starting position at time minutes and follows the snail’s path. During the interval minutes, the a

nt travels in the same direction as the snail with a constant acceleration of 2 inches per minute per minute. The ant catches up to the snail at time minutes. The ant’s velocity at time is B inches per minute. Find the value of B.

QUESTION INTRODUCTION

A snail is moving in a straight line. Its speed can be represented by v(t)=1.4ln(1+t^2) inches per minute for the duration of 0 ≤ t ≤ 15 minutes.

Response:

B=22.35 inches per minute

Detailed Explanation:

Assuming the snail moves at v(t)=1.4ln(1+t^2) inches per minute, its displacement from 0 to 15 minutes is determined by the integral:

\int v(t) dt=\int (1.4ln(1+t^2))dt=76.04307

The ant's acceleration remains constant at 2 inches per minute squared.

This results in the ant's velocity as:

\int 2 dt=2t+K, $where K is a constant of integration$

During the period of 12≤t≤15, the ant’s displacement is:

\int_{12}^{15}(2t+K) dt=81+3K

Given that the displacement of the snail matches that of the ant during 12≤t≤15.

81+3K=76.04307

3K=76.04307-81

3K=-4.95693

K=-1.65231

At t=12, the ant’s speed becomes:

2t+K=2(12)-1.65231=22.348 inches per minute

B=22.348 inches per minute

babunello [3635]

∠1 and ∠8 are alternate exterior angles while ∠3 and ∠6 are alternate interior angles.

step-by-step explanation:

When transversal l intersects lines m and n, the angles formed outside each line on the opposite side of the transversal constitute alternate angles (like ∠1 and ∠8). In contrast, alternate interior angles appear on opposite sides but are located between the two lines (like ∠3 and ∠6).

A company buys pens at the rate of $7.50 per box for the first 10 boxes, $5.50 per box for the next 10 boxes, and $4.50 per box
tester [3916]

Let's start by calculating the cost of the first 10 boxes, which totals $75, and the next 10 boxes cost $55.

Together, these 20 boxes amount to $130 spent. With $18 remaining, you can purchase 4 more boxes since 18 divided by 4.5 equals 4.

Therefore, the maximum number of boxes you can buy with $148 is 24.

If Ana devotes all her time to making fudge, she can make 3 pounds of fudge an hour, and if he devotes all her time to making to
lawyer [4008]

Answer: Ana should produce more fudge, and Leo should produce more toffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparative advantage defined: A person or country has a comparative advantage producing a good if their opportunity cost for it is lower than someone else's.

In this case, Ana and Leo will both benefit if they focus on the product for which they have the lower opportunity cost.

(a) Ana’s production possibilities:

If she spends all her time making fudge: 3 pounds; or toffee: 2 pounds.

Opportunity cost of 1 pound fudge = 2/3 = 0.66 pounds toffee

Opportunity cost of 1 pound toffee = 3/2 = 1.5 pounds fudge

(b) Leo’s production opportunities:

All time making fudge: 4 pounds; or toffee: 5 pounds.

Opportunity cost of 1 pound fudge = 5/4 = 1.25 pounds toffee

Opportunity cost of 1 pound toffee = 4/5 = 0.8 pounds fudge

Since Ana’s opportunity cost for fudge is lower than Leo’s, she should specialize in fudge production.

Conversely, Leo has a lower opportunity cost for toffee, so he should focus on producing toffee.

You are visiting a rainforest, but unfortunately,your insect repellent has run out. As a result, at each second, a mosquito land
tester [3916]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a mosquito lands on your neck per second is 0.5

The chance of it biting once it lands is 0.2

The likelihood that it does not bite after landing is 0.8

Therefore, the probability of a bite in one second is 0.5(0.2) = 0.01

This translates to a 1/100 likelihood of being bitten in just one second

Over the course of 100 seconds, the expected number of bites is =1

The anticipated interval between bites is 100
