One day, as I was out for a drive, I passed through a 1 mile long, straight tunnel. Although I was observing the speed limit of 60 miles per hour when I entered and when I emerged from the tunnel, a police officer stopped me and gave me a ticket for speeding in the tunnel. When I asked her how she could know that I was speeding, she replied, "Basic calculus. The tunnel is exactly 1 mile long, and cameras at the entrance and exit of the tunnel show that you traveled through the tunnel in 50 seconds." What theorem justifies her claim? (In case you're wondering, I don't really have a Ferrari.) O The intermediate value theorem O The extreme value theorem O The mean value theorem O None of these

Beaumont, Texas, is about 150 miles from Toledo Bend. If Leo Miller leaves Beaumont at 4 a.m. and averages 45 mph, when should he arrive at Toledo Bend?
this is incorrect, can you please fix it because I am confused.
Once upon a time, on a bright and sunny day, claire took a break from working at the snowcone shop. She stepped outside with her favorite book and much to her surprise, she saw a giant dinosaur! Claire is quite short. She is only 5 feet 4 inches tall and she was amazed at the giant dinosaur that towered over her. She was quite determined to find out just how tall that dinosaur was. She quickly grabbed a ruler (she is always prepared with her math tools) and discovered that her shadow was 4 feet long. She carefully measured the dinosaur's shadow. It was 50 feet long! Can you help Claire calculate the height of the dinosaur with that information? Make sure you show all your work for full credit on this assignment.
This question has several parts that must be completed sequentially. If you skip a part of the question, you will not receive any points for the skipped part, and you will not be able to come back to the skipped part. A person's lean body weight L is the amount he or she would weigh if all body fat were magically to disappear. One text gives the "equation that practitioners can use most feasibly in the field to predict lean body weight in young adult males." The equation is found below. L = 98.42 + 1.08W − 4.14A Here L is lean body weight in pounds, W is weight in pounds, and A is abdominal circumference in inches. Find the approximate lean body weight of a young adult male who weighs 181 pounds and has an abdominal circumference of 41 inches. What is the weight of his body fat? What is his body fat percent?
As I was driving along the highway to Cleveland, I noticed a speedometer check along the side of the road with posted signs 1 mile apart. I timed us and found that it took us 5 minutes and 45 seconds to travel 5 miles. We had the car set on cruise control, so we were traveling at a constant speed. A while later we passed a sign that said “Akron 76 miles.” At that speed, how long did it take us to drive those 76 miles to Akron? (Convert your decimal answer to an equivalent number of hours, minutes, and seconds. For example, 7.104 hours = 7 hours 6 minutes 14 seconds.)

Two collaborators, Nicolas and Felipe, are talking about the order they received with the size of four new pieces that will be produced. Each of the collaborators received the request on a piece of paper, but both were careless and ended up missing some information. Before asking for information about the order, they decided to talk and try to find out which measures were missing. Nicolas' paper only has the average length, which is 17.2 meters. The paper with the order that Felipe has, about the same pieces, contains the information that the median length is 17.0 meters. From the data they have, they were able to correctly conclude that the average between the lengths of the largest and smallest piece is:
