Chapter 5: Q. 67 (page 315)

Use a graphing utility to solve each equation. Express your answer rounded to two decimal places.

lnx=-x

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution of the given equation is 0.57.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given equation is:

lnx=-x

02

Step 2. Determine the solution by the graphing utility.

Plot the graphs of y1=lnx andy2=-x on a coordinate plane. The x-coordinate of the intersection point is the solution of the given equation.

The graphs intersect each other at x≈0.567. After rounding the value to two decimal placesx≈0.57.

Vehicle Stopping Distance Taking into account reaction time, the distance d(in feet) that a car requires to come to a complete stop while traveling rmiles per hour is given by the function

localid="1646198784356" d(r)=6.97r-90.39

a. Express the speed rat which the car is traveling as a function of the distance localid="1646198792401" drequired to come to a complete stop

b. Verify that localid="1646198797631" r=r(d)is the inverse of localid="1646198802104" d=d(r)by showing that localid="1646198806352" r(d(r))=rand localid="1646198811055" d(r(d))=d

c. Predict the speed that a car was traveling if the distance required to stop was localid="1646198818232" 300feet.
