What is the product of (-a + 3)(a + 4)?

Answer:

A) The amount of gas they bought on each coast;

East Coast = 35 gallons

Mid-US = 100 gallons

West Coast = 15 gallons

B) The amount of gas they bought on each coast on the return journey;

East Coast = 37 gallons

Mid-US = 116 gallons

West Coast = 21 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

Maxis taking a cross-country road trip. Gas prices vary as the friends travel across the US from $4 dollars per gallon on the east coast to $3 in the mid-US, to $5 on the west coast.

(a) If they used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined, and they spend $515 on gas to purchased 150 gallons of gas, how many gallons of gas did they buy at each price?

The answer to this question is East Coast - 35 gal, Mid-US - 100 gal, West Coast - 15 gal.

(b) On their way back they had more baggage in the car and spend $601 for 174 gallons of gas. Based on the same ratio as in Part (a), how many gallons of gas did they buy at each price? I don't know the answer to this one

Solution

Let the amount of fuel bought on the east coast = x gallons

Let the amount of fuel bought on the mid-coast = y gallons

Let the amount of fuel bought on the west coast = z gallons

a) - They used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined

y = 2(x + z) = 2x + 2z (eqn 1)

- They spend $515 on gas to purchase 150 gallons of gas.

Total gallons purchased = x + y + z = 150

Total amount spent = 4x + 3y + 5z = 515

From eqn 1, y = 2x + 2z, inserting this value for y in the 2 other equations

x + y + z = x + 2x + 2z + z = 150

3x + 3z = 150

Divide through by 3

x + z = 50 (eqn *)

4x + 3y + 5z = 4x + 3(2x + 2z) + 5z = 515

4x + 6x + 6z + 5z = 515

10x + 11z = 515 (eqn **)

x + z = 50

10x + 11z = 515

Solving the simultaneous equation,

x = 35 gallons

z = 15 gallons

y = 2x + 2z = 2(35 + 15) = 100 gallons

B) On the return journey, the ratio between x, y and z is still the same, but the total gallons and total amount spent is now different.

They used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined

y = 2(x + z) = 2x + 2z (eqn 1)

- They spend $601 on gas to purchase 174 gallons of gas.

Total gallons purchased = x + y + z = 174

Total amount spent = 4x + 3y + 5z = 601

From eqn 1, y = 2x + 2z, inserting this value for y in the 2 other equations

x + y + z = x + 2x + 2z + z = 174

3x + 3z = 174

Divide through by 3

x + z = 58 (eqn *)

4x + 3y + 5z = 4x + 3(2x + 2z) + 5z = 601

4x + 6x + 6z + 5z = 601

10x + 11z = 601 (eqn **)

x + z = 58

10x + 11z = 601

Solving the simultaneous equation,

x = 37 gallons

z = 21 gallons

y = 2x + 2z = 2(37 + 21) = 116 gallons

Answer:

must not be

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole thing equals 360 degrees

Angle B and Angle D are equal; which equals 190 degrees.

Add Angle A to 190 degrees; which is 86 + 190 = 276.

Subtract 360, which is what the whole thing equals, and 276, which is the known angle added together, and you get 56.

In order for this to be a parallelogram, the opposite angles need to be equal.

Since they are not, the answer is must not be.

Answer:

if x+y=5, then x=5-y

so x-4y=-10

x=5-y

x=5-3

x=2

x=2; y=3

Answer:

15.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

23^2 + b^2 = 27.5^2

529 +b^2 =756.25

Subtract 529 from each side

529-529+b^2 =756.25-529

b^2 =227.25

Take the square root of each side

b =sqrt(227.25)

b =15.07481343

To the nearest tenth

b = 15.1

Answer: It decreases by four then go up by six or increase by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

It shows the alternating increased by 2

It decreases by four then go up by six or increases by 6.

We have given the pattern is

8, 4, 10, 6, 12, 8, 14, ....

We can see that

the first number is 8 and the second is 4

8>4

from 8 to 4 it is decreasing and the 4 to 10 it is increasing and again after 10 it is decreasing a.

Increasing means there is a second number is greater than the first number third number is greater than the second number and so on.

There is two pattern

8,10,12,14....

Increasing by 2

4,6,8.....

Increasing by 2

Therefore it shows the alternating increased by 2.

The first four terms in the sequence an=15+6n are 21, 27, 33, and 39.

The correct option is C. 21, 27, 33, 39

From the question, the equation to calculate the nth term is given which is

an=15+6n.

Now, let a1, a2, a3 and a4 denote the first, second, third and fourth terms respectively.

For the first term, a1

n = 1,

From the given equation, an=15+6n

∴ a1 = 15 + 6(1)

a1 = 15 + 6

a1 = 21

∴The first term is 21

For the second term, a2

n = 2,

From the given equation, an=15+6n

∴ a2 = 15 + 6(2)

a2 = 15 + 12

a2 = 27

∴The second term is 27

For the third term, a3

n = 3,

From the given equation, an=15+6n

∴ a3 = 15 + 6(3)

a3 = 15 + 18

a3 = 33

∴The third term is 33

For the fourth term, a4

n = 4,

From the given equation, an=15+6n

∴ a4 = 15 + 6(4)

a4 = 15 + 24

a4 = 39

∴The fourth term is 39

Hence, the first four terms in the sequence an=15+6n are 21, 27, 33, and 39.

The correct option is C. 21, 27, 33, 39

P(first blue) =  444/ 1554

Answer:

The formula of this perpendicular line is y = 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In y = -1/4x+3 the gradient is -1/4.

If two lines are perpendicular, then their gradients will multiply together to give -1.

Use this to find the gradient a of the perpendicular line.

-1/4 * a = -1

a = -1 * -4 so the gradient a of the perpendicular line = 4.

Substitute (2,6) in y = 4x + b, to find the value of b.

y = 4x + b

(2,6)

6 = (4*2) + b

b = 6 - (8)

b = -2

So now we have our equation.

The formula of this perpendicular line is y = 4x - 2

Answer:

t ≥0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information:

The initial population: 500

The graph models the population of the bacteria colony P(t) as a function of the time t, in weeks,

=> our function is: P(t) =500*[tex]b^{t}[/tex] where b is the base number and it is ≥0

The domain of exponential functions is all real numbers greater than zero

<=> t ≥0 (because t present for the time and time can not have negative value)  

t  is the independent variable is this exponential function and the population of bacteria depends on the change of t.

Because it is the growth function so the range (the population of bacteria) increase over its domain (the time)

Hope it will find you well.
