A driver starts a trip with 30 gallons of gasoline in the tank of his car. The car
burns 4 gallons for every 80 miles. Assuming that the amount of gasoline in the tank decreases linearly, write a linear function that relates the number of gallons G left in the tank after a journey of "d" miles.

A Driver Starts A Trip With 30 Gallons Of Gasoline In The Tank Of His Car. The Carburns 4 Gallons For

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to look at this as something as basic as combining like terms. We know that the driver starts with 30 GALLONS of gas and loses x GALLONS while driving, giving us an equation that says

Gallons of gas used = Gallons in car - gallons used; in other words, if everything is in the same label, you can subtract. We start off with 30 gallons, thus:

Gallons of gas used = 30 G

That's a start, at least. Now we need to figure out how much is burned. Remember, in order to do any subtraction at all we have to have like labels, so we need what goes after that subtraction sign to also be a label in gallons, G. The driver burns 4 gallons per 80 miles times how many miles he drives, so the expression for that is

[tex]\frac{4G}{80mi}*dmi[/tex] and what happens here is that the label of miles cancels out, leaving us with just G, which is what we're after. The whole equation then is

[tex]G=30-\frac{4}{80}d[/tex], choice 1

If a and b are positive numbers, find the maximum value of f(x) = x^a(2 − x)^b on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 2.

Answers

Answer:

The maximum value of f(x) occurs at:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

And is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle f_{\text{max}}(x) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = x^a (2-x)^b \text{ where } a, b >0[/tex]

And we want to find the maximum value of f(x) on the interval [0, 2].

First, let's evaluate the endpoints of the interval:

[tex]\displaystyle f(0) = (0)^a(2-(0))^b = 0[/tex]

And:

[tex]\displaystyle f(2) = (2)^a(2-(2))^b = 0[/tex]

Recall that extrema occurs at a function's critical points. The critical points of a function at the points where its derivative is either zero or undefined. Thus, find the derivative of the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left[ x^a\left(2-x\right)^b\right][/tex]

By the Product Rule:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f'(x) &= \frac{d}{dx}\left[x^a\right] (2-x)^b + x^a\frac{d}{dx}\left[(2-x)^b\right]\\ \\ &=\left(ax^{a-1}\right)\left(2-x\right)^b + x^a\left(b(2-x)^{b-1}\cdot -1\right) \\ \\ &= x^a\left(2-x\right)^b \left[\frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x}\right] \end{aligned}[/tex]

Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle 0= x^a\left(2-x\right)^b \left[\frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x}\right][/tex]

By the Zero Product Property:

[tex]\displaystyle x^a (2-x)^b = 0\text{ or } \frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x} = 0[/tex]

The solutions to the first equation are x = 0 and x = 2.

First, for the second equation, note that it is undefined when x = 0 and x = 2.

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides by the denominators.

[tex]\displaystyle\left( \frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x} \right)\left((x(2-x)\right) = 0(x(2-x))[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle a(2-x) - b(x) = 0[/tex]

And solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2a-ax-bx &= 0 \\ 2a &= ax+bx \\ 2a&= x(a+b) \\ \frac{2a}{a+b} &= x \end{aligned}[/tex]

So, our critical points are:

[tex]\displaystyle x = 0 , 2 , \text{ and } \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

We already know that f(0) = f(2) = 0.

For the third point, we can see that:

[tex]\displaystyle f\left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(2- \frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

This can be simplified to:

[tex]\displaystyle f\left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

Since a and b > 0, both factors must be positive. Thus, f(2a / (a + b)) > 0. So, this must be the maximum value.

To confirm that this is indeed a maximum, we can select values to test. Let a = 2 and b = 3. Then:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = x^2(2-x)^3\left(\frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{2-x}\right)[/tex]

The critical point will be at:

[tex]\displaystyle x= \frac{2(2)}{(2)+(3)} = \frac{4}{5}=0.8[/tex]

Testing x = 0.5 and x = 1 yields that:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(0.5) >0\text{ and } f'(1) <0[/tex]

Since the derivative is positive and then negative, we can conclude that the point is indeed a maximum.

Therefore, the maximum value of f(x) occurs at:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

And is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle f_{\text{max}}(x) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

What is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices, and the guess being correct

Answers

Answer:

The probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder, and in the original game of Clue, the guilty person can be chosen from 66 people, and there are 66 different possible weapons and 99 possible rooms, and at one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 44 people, 55 weapons, and 77 rooms, to determine what is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices , and the guess being correct, the following calculation must be performed:

(1 / (44x55x77)) x 100 = X

(1 / 186,340) x 100 = X

0.0005366 = X

Therefore, the probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.

Mrs. Gomez has two kinds of flowers in her garden. The ratio of lilies to daisies in the garden is 5:2

If there are 20 lilies, what is the total number of flowers in her garden?

Answers

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

5 : 2

since this is a simplified ratio, they have a common factor. let's say it is 'x'

so now :

5x : 2x

we know that 5x is lilies, and we also know that she has 20 lilies, so:

5x = 20

x = 4

the daisies would be 2x so 2*4 = 8

total flowers is 20 + 8

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 4) and (- 4, - 5) . Put your answer in fully reduced slope intercept form , unless it is a vertical or horizontal line

Answers

Answer:

y=9/4x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope

m=(-5-4)/(-4-0)

m=-9/-4 = 9/4

next plug the slope and the point (-4,-5) into point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=-5

x1= -4

m=9/4

y- -5 = 9/4(x - -4)

y+5=9/4(x+4)

Distribute 9/4 first

y+5=9/4x + 9

subtract 5 on both sides

y=9/4x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the exponential equation.

Replace 8 with t

[tex]10000(5(8) {}^{ \frac{2}{3} } + 4)[/tex]

[tex]10000(5 \times 4 + 4) [/tex]

[tex]10000(24) = 240000[/tex]

The population of the town after 8 month will be 2,40,000.

What is exponential growth?

Exponential growth is a pattern of data that shows greater increases with passing time, creating the curve of an exponential function.

Let P be the population of the town after 8 months

According to the given question

The current population of the town = 10,000.

Also, the population of the town is changing at the rate of [tex]4+5t^{\frac{2}{3} }[/tex].

Therefore, the population of the town after 8 month is given by the exponential function

[tex]P = 10000(4+5t^{\frac{2}{3} } )[/tex]

Substitute t =8 in the above equation

⇒[tex]P = 10000(4 + 5(8)^{\frac{2}{3} } )[/tex]

⇒[tex]P = 10000(4 + 5(2^{3}) ^{\frac{2}{3} } )[/tex]

⇒[tex]P = 10000(4+5(4))[/tex]

⇒[tex]P = 10000(24)[/tex]

⇒[tex]P = 240000[/tex]

Hence, the population of the town after 8 month will be 2,40,000.

a² tan²θ - b² tan²θ = b² and then got the b terms on the side to get:

a² tan²θ = b² + b² tan²θ and then changed the tans to sin/cos to get:

[tex]\frac{a^2sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta}=b^2+\frac{b^2sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta}[/tex] and isolated the sin-squared on the left to get:

[tex]a^2sin^2\theta=cos^2\theta(b^2+\frac{b^2sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta})[/tex] and distributed to get:

***[tex]a^2sin^2\theta=b^2cos^2\theta+b^2sin^2\theta[/tex]*** and factored the right side to get:

[tex]a^2sin^2\theta=b^2(sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta)[/tex] and utilized a trig Pythagorean identity to get:

[tex]a^2sin^2\theta=b^2(1)[/tex] and then solved for sinθ in the following way:

[tex]sin^2\theta=\frac{b^2}{a^2}[/tex] so

[tex]a^2sin^2\theta-b^2sin^2\theta=b^2cos^2\theta[/tex] and divide by b² to get:

[tex]\frac{a^2sin^2\theta}{b^2}-sin^2\theta=cos^2\theta[/tex] and factor on the left to get:

If two bags of popcorn and three drinks cost $14,

$18, how much does a drink cost?

Answers

Answer:

2dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

one bag of popcorn is 4 dollars so 4 bags of popcorn is 16 plus 1 drink which is 2 dollars equal 18.

The cost of each popcorn is $4 and the cost of each drink will be $2.

What is the solution to the equation?

The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

If two bags of popcorn and three drinks cost $14, and four bags of popcorn and one drink costs $18.

Let the cost of each popcorn be 'x' and the cost of each drink be 'y'. Then the equations are given as,

2x + 3y = 14           ...1

4x + y = 18            ...2

From equations 1 and 2, then we have

2x + 3(18 - 4x) = 14

2x + 54 - 12x = 14

10x = 40

x = $4

Then the value of the variable 'y' is calculated as,

y = 18 - 4(4)

y = 18 - 16

y = $2

The cost of each popcorn is $4 and the cost of each drink will be $2.

what’s the value of x? and what’s the measure of angel JHK?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal

Subtract x from each side

3x-x -21 = x+7-x

2x-21 = 7

Add 21 to each side

2x-21+21 = 7+21

2x = 28

Divide by 2

2x/2 =28/2

x = 14

JHK = 3x-21 = 3(14) -21 = 42-21 = 21

Answer:

Because ∠GHI and ∠JHK are vertical angles, they're congruent. Therefore, set their angle measures equal to each other & solve for x.

[tex]x+7=3x-21\\x-3x=-7-21\\-2x=-28\\x=\frac{-28}{-2} =14\°[/tex]
