The function of the object's velocity is given as follows:

To get the position's function (s(t)), the velocity function needs to be integrated:

We have to find B × A.
Here,
Consider the Cartesian product:
The set of all ordered pairs (x, y) such that x belongs to A and y belongs to B is referred to as the Cartesian Product of sets A and B in mathematics. For instance, the Cartesian Product of A and B is (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 4), and (2, 5) if A = [1, 2] and B = [3, 4, 5].

The subtraction of the mixed fractions and presenting the result in simplest form gives;
[tex] \displaystyle{9 \frac{2}{5} - 4 \frac{4}{5} = 14 \frac{1}{5}} [/tex]
What is are mixed fractions?A mixed fraction is one that has both a quotient part as a whole number, the remainder, as the numerator of the fraction part, and the divisor as the denominator of the fraction part.
The equation involves the subtraction of mixed fractions, which are expressed as follows;
[tex] \displaystyle{9 \frac{2}{5} - 4 \frac{4}{5} } = [/tex]
To subtract the mixed fractions, the mixed fraction can first be rearranged into improper fractions as follows;
[tex] \displaystyle{ \frac{5 \times 9 + 2}{5} - \frac{5 \times 4 + 4}{5} = \frac{47}{5} + \frac{24}{5} }[/tex]
[tex] \displaystyle{ \frac{47}{5} + \frac{24}{5} = \frac{71}{5} }[/tex]
The result of the addition of the improper fraction which is also an improper fraction can be rearranged into partial fractions again as follows;
71 = 5 × 14 + 1
Which gives;
[tex] \displaystyle{ \frac{71}{5} = 14 \frac{1}{5} }[/tex]
Therefore;

For each of the following, find the formula for an exponential function that passes through the two points given.
The required exponential function f(x) = (4)(2)ˣ which is passes through the two points (-1,2) and (3,32).
What is an exponential function?An exponential function is defined as a function whose value is a constant raised to the power of an argument is called an exponential function.
It is a relation of the form y = aˣ in mathematics, where x is the independent variable
Let the formula for an exponential function would be as
⇒ f(x) = abˣ
The exponential function passes through the two points (-1,2) and (3,32).
f(-1) = 2
f(3) = 32
2 = ab⁻¹
2b = a
32 = ab³
Substitute the value of a = 2b in the above equation,
32 = 2b×b³
32 = 2b⁴
b⁴ = 16
b⁴ = 2⁴
b = 2
Substitute the value of b = 2 in the equation a = 2b,
So a = 2×2 = 4
⇒ f(x) = (4)(2)ˣ
Therefore, the required exponential function f(x) = (4)(2)ˣ

Harper just lit a new candle and then let it burn all the way down to nothing. The length of the candle remaining unburned, in inches, can be modeled by the equation L=15-1.5t,L=15−1.5t, where tt represents the number of hours since the candle was lit. What is the slope of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?
From the information given, the slope (m) of the equation is -1.5. This means that there is an inverse relationship between the Lenght of the Candle and the number of hours. Where, the longer the number of hours, the smaller the length of the candle. See further explanation below.
What is a slope?The slope of a line is its steepness as it goes from LEFT to RIGHT. The slope is the proportion of a line's rise, or vertical change, to its run, or horizontal change. The slope of a line is always fixed (it never changes) regardless of whatever two locations on the line are chosen.
When dealing with a linear relationship, the question is usually represented in this format:
y = mx + b; where
m = slope and
b= y-intercept (or constant)
From the case above, the equation shows the relationship between time (t) the candle spends burning and the length of the candle (l).
Logically, we can infer that there will be a negative relationship between the two but first lets us determine the slope.
Restating the equation in intercept format, we have:
L = 15 - 1.5t................................1; in intercept format the slope we have
L = -1.5t + 15 ...........................2.
Where L [tex]\sim[/tex] y; m [tex]\sim[/tex] -1.5 and t [tex]\sim[/tex] x; and b [tex]\sim[/tex] 15
Hence we can state that the m (slope) = -1.5 and that if plotted on a graph, the line crosses the y-axis at y = 15 where x = 0.
Also, if L (that is y) is set to zero, then the total time taken for ALL the candles to burn is 10 hours.
See attached graph as proof.
The logical interpretation above is hence confirmed that there is an inverse relationship between x and y. This means that the longer the time, the shorter the length of the candle.
This also means that the length of the candle cannot be or is not longer than 15.

The slope of the equation is -3/2 describing the rate at which the length of the candle is decreasing.
What are lines and their slopes?We know lines have various types of equations, the general type is
Ax + By + c = 0.
We know slope is the rate of change of the y-axis with respect to the x-axis
also, rise over run which is (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).
The burning equation of the candle is represented by L = 15 - 1.5t.
Where L = length of the candle and any point of time and t = time in hours.
Now, we'll need two points from this equation to obtain the slope.
At, t = 2, L = 12. and at t = 4, L = 9.
So, the two points are (2, 12) and (4, 9).
∴ Slope(m) = (9 - 12)/(4 - 2).
Slope(m) = -3/2.
The slope of this equation describes the rate at which the height of the candle is changing.

A) We need to find the rate of change of the function first.
The rate of change or slope of the line is:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1_{}}[/tex]Where x and y are the coordinates of a point in line.
In order to calculate the slope we can take the poinst:
x1 = -6, y1 = 4
x2 = -2, y2= 1
Using the formula of above we find that the slope is:
[tex]m=\frac{1-4}{-2-(-6)}=-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]Now, in order to find the value of y-intercept of the line we can use formula:
[tex]y=m\cdot x+b[/tex]Which is the function of the line. From the formula of above we don't know the value of b (the y-intercept).
But we know that the formula must be valid for a point in the line. We can find the value of b replacing the coordinates of a point in the line, let's choose: x = -6 and y = 4, so:
[tex]4=\text{ m}\cdot(-6)+b[/tex]Now we use the value of m of above:
[tex]4=(-\frac{3}{4})\cdot(-6)+b[/tex]And from the last equation we can see that:
[tex]b=4-\frac{3}{4}\cdot6=4-\frac{9}{2}=\frac{8}{2}-\frac{9}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]So, the equation of the line is:
[tex]y\text{ = -}\frac{\text{3}}{4}\cdot x-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]And the y-intercept is obtain replacing x = 0, so the y-intercept is: y = -1/2
b) From the stepts of above we already know an equation that represents the function! It is:
[tex]y\text{ = -}\frac{\text{3}}{4}\cdot x-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]c) Now, we need to use the last equation to find y = n in the table. We know from the table that the value x for that value of y is x = 3, so we replace that value in the equation of the line:
[tex]y\text{ = -}\frac{\text{3}}{4}\cdot3-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{9}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{9}{4}-\frac{2}{4}=-\frac{11}{4}[/tex]So the value of n is:

A flower bed is in the shape of a rectangle. It measures7 yd long and 4 yd wide. Chris wants to use mulch tocover the flower bed. The mulch is sold by the squarefoot. Use the facts to find the area of the flower bed insquare feet.2ftX 5?Conversion facts for length1 foot (ft)1 yard (yd)1 yard (yd)===12 inches (in)3 feet (ft)36 inches (in) i need help with this math problem.
Answer
252 ft²
Step-by-step explanation
1 yard is equivalent to 3 feet. Using this conversion factor, the equivalence of 7 yd is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7\text{ yd =}7\text{ yd}\cdot\frac{3\text{ ft}}{1\text{ yd}} \\ \text{ Simplifying the units:} \\ 7\text{ yd =}\frac{7\cdot3}{1}\text{ ft} \\ 7\text{ yd }=21\text{ ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]Similarly, the equivalence of 4 yards is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4\text{ yd }=4\text{ yd}{}\cdot\frac{3\text{ ft}}{1\text{ yd}} \\ 4\text{ yd }=4\cdot3\text{ ft} \\ 4\text{ yd}=12\text{ ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the length of the bed is 21 ft and the width is 12 ft.
Finally, the area of the bed (a rectangle) is calculated as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=legnth\cdot width \\ A=21\cdot12 \\ A=252\text{ ft}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
