Answer to Question #235846 in Calculus for Shabnam

Question

A computer can sort x objects in t seconds, as modeled by the function

below:

1 = 0.003x² + 0.0013

How many objects are required to keep the computer busy for exactly 7

seconds?

Round to the nearest whole object

Answer 1

t = 0.003x² + 0.0013

given, t=7

=>7 = 0.003x² + 0.0013

=> 7-0.0013= 0.003x²

=>x²=2332.9

=>x=48.3 or x=-48.3

since, number of objects can't be negative.

Therefore, number of object is 48 after round to the nearest whole object.
