the rate of spin of a certain gyroscope doubled every 10 seconds from the moment a particular stopwatch started . if after a minute and a half the gyroscope reached a speed of 6400 meters per second , what was the speed , in meters per second , when the stopwatch was started ?
"let x be the original speed when the stopwatch was started . in 90 seconds , the speed doubled 9 times . 2 ^ 9 * x = 6400 x = ( 2 ^ 8 * 25 ) / 2 ^ 9 = 25 / 2 the answer is a ."
divide(divide(6400, power(const_2, subtract(divide(add(divide(const_60, const_2), const_60), 10), const_1))), const_2)
