Royston's car had gallons of gas at the start of the trip. During the trip, he stopped at a gas station and refueled the car with gallons. If the car consumed gallons of gas during the trip, there are still gallons of gas remaining in the tank.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3 gallons of gas are still remaining in the tank

Step-by-step explanation:

Royston's car had 15 1/5 gallons of gas at the start of the trip. During the trip, he stopped at a gas station and he refueled the car with 5 3/5 gallons. If the car consumed 17 4/5 gallons of gas during the trip, there are still ____________ gallons of gas remaining in the tank?

Given:

Initial gallons of gas=15 1/5

Refueled gallons of gas= 5 3/5

Used gallons of gas=17 4/5=89/5

Total gallons of gas available=

Initial + Refueled

=15 1/5 + 5 3/5

=76/5 + 28/5

=76+28/5

=104/5 gallons

Equivalent to

=20 4/5 gallons

Total remaining gallons of gas= Total gallons of gas available - Total gallons of gas used

=104/5 -89/5

= 104-89/5

=15/5

=3 gallons

winthrop has $4.40 worth of nickles and dimes. If winthrop has 3.5 times as many nickles as he has dimes, how many dimes does he have?

Answers

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

If n is number of nickles and d is number of dimes:

5n + 10d = 440

n = 3.5d

Substitute:

5(3.5)d + 10d = 440

17.5d + 10d = 440

27.5d = 440

d = 16

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+30 is a corresponding angle with 4x-9 so set them equal to each other. 4x-9+2x+3 will equal 180

Answer:

no, the values would be above 180º

Step-by-step explanation:

if...

(4x - 9) + (2x + 3) + y = 180

(5x + 30) + y = 180

then...

(4x - 9) + (2x + 3) = 5x + 30

so...

6x - 6 = 5x + 30

x = 36

plug it in.

4(36) - 9 = 135

2(36) + 3 = 75

already you can see the sum of these two angles surpasses 180 which is not possible for a triangle.

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = 2(x –3)²

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x² – 12x + 18

The vertex form of the above expression can be obtained as follow:

f(x) = 2x² – 12x + 18

Factorise

f(x) = 2(x² – 6x + 9)

Next, we shall simplify x² – 6x + 9 by factorisation method.

This is illustrated below:

x² – 6x + 9

Multiply the first term i.e x² and last term i.e 9 together. The result is 9x².

Next, find two factors of 9x² such that their sum will result to the 2nd term i.e –6x in the expression above.

The factors are –3x and –3x

Next, replace –6x with –3x and –3x in the equation above as shown below:

x² – 6x + 9

x² – 3x –3x + 9

Factorise

x(x – 3) –3(x –3)

(x –3)(x –3)

(x –3)²

f(x) = 2x² – 12x + 18

f(x) = 2(x² – 6x + 9)

f(x) = 2(x –3)²

Therefore, the vertex form of the function f(x) = 2x² – 12x + 18 is

f(x) = 2(x –3)²

Answers

Hey There!!

To get the average rate of change, we simply have to use this formula:

ARC = (y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)

For the first function:

ARC = (64 - 0) / (4 - 0) = 16

For the second function, since it's a line, the ARC would just be equal to the slope

m = ARC = (-1 - 0) / (0 - (-2)) = -0.5

For the third function:

h(0) = 18

h(4) = 66

ARC = (66 - 18) / (4 - 0) = 12 Therefore, the order of the functions from lest to greatest according to the average rate of change on the interval from x= 0 to x = 4 is:

g(x)

h(x)

f(x)

The 8th term of the geometric sequence using the formula will be :

n = 8

A8 = 7 × (-2)^(8-1)

A8 = 7 × (-2)^7

A8 = 7 × (-128)

A8 = - 896

Answers

Answer:

a) (-4). (-7/8) = 28/8

b) (-4). (-7/8)= 28/8

c) (-4).(+ 3/5) = -12/5

d) (-2).(-3/4). (-1/7) = (6/4)(-1/7)= -6/28

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (-4). (-7/8) = 28/8

b) (-4). (-7/8)= 28/8

c) (-4).(+ 3/5) = -12/5

d) (-2).(-3/4). (-1/7) = (6/4)(-1/7)= -6/28

É repetido talvez com sinal alterado para mostrar a diferença na resposta. Se o sinal for alterado, a resposta também se tornará negativa. Seria - 28/8.

Quando um número negativo é multiplicado por um número negativo, obtém um número positivo. Mas quando um número positivo é multiplicado por um número negativo, dá uma resposta negativa.

Sempre se lembre

negativo * negativo = positivo

positivo * negativo = negativo

negativo * positivo = negativo

positivo * positivo = positivo

Em palavras simples, dois sinais diferentes dão um sinal negativo e dois sinais semelhantes dão um sinal positivo na multiplicação.

English

a) (-4). (-7/8) = 28/8

b) (-4). (-7/8)= 28/8

c) (-4).(+ 3/5) = -12/5

d) (-2).(-3/4). (-1/7) = (6/4)(-1/7)= -6/28

Its repeated maybe with a changed sign to show the difference in the answer. If the sign is changed the answer would also become negative . It would become - 28/8.

When a negative number is multiplied with a negative number it gives a positive number. But when a positive number is multiplied with a negative number it gives a negative answer.

Always remember  

negative * negative= positive  

positive *negative=negative

negative *positive =negative

positive * positive =  positive

In simple words two unlike signs give a negative sign and two similar signs give a positive sign in multiplication.

4. If and β are zeroes of the polynomial x²+4x+3, find the polynomial whose zeroes are 1+/ and 1+/ β

Answers

Answer:

(1+β)/α = 2

(1+α)/β = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the zeros of the polynomial. This would be done by equating the polynomial to zero and using factorization method to find the variables

x²+4x+3 = 0

x²+x+3x+3=0

x(x+1) +3 (x+1) = 0

(x+1)(x+3) = 0

(x+1)= 0 or (x+3) = 0

x= -1 or -3

If α = -1, and β=-3

(1+β)/α = (1-3)/-1 = -2/-1

(1+β)/α = 2

(1+α)/β = (1-1)/-3 =0/-3

(1+α)/β = 0

If it rains, I do not go sailing. It rains 10 % 10\% 10% of days; I go sailing 3 % 3\% 3% of days. If it does not rain, what is the (conditional) probability that I go sailing? Written "p(I go sailing | it does not rain)''

Answers

Answer:

0.03333 or 1/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A =" I go sailing" and B = "it does not rain"

P(A) = 0.03

P(B) =0.90

Since I never go sailing when it rains, P(A and B) =0.03.

Therefore, the (conditional) probability that I go sailing, given that it does not rain is:

[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\ and\ B)}{P(B)} \\P(A|B)=\frac{0.03}{0.90}=0.033333[/tex]

The probability is 0.03333 or 1/30.


The area of a rectangle is 42 ft squared, and the length of the rectangle is 5 ft more than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. length and width.​

Answers

Answer:

Length = 12 ft

Width = [tex] \frac{7}{2} ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of rectangle = [tex]42 \: {ft}^{2} [/tex]

Width = X

Length = 2x + 5

Now,

[tex]x(2x + 5) = 42[/tex]

[tex]2 {x}^{2} + 5x = 42[/tex]

[tex]2 {x}^{2} + 5x - 42 = 0[/tex]

[tex]2 {x}^{2} + 12x - 7x - 42 = 0[/tex]

[tex]2x(x + 6) - 7(x + 6) = 0[/tex]

[tex](2x - 7)(x + 6) = 0[/tex]

Either

[tex]2x - 7 = 0[/tex]

[tex]2x = 0 + 7[/tex]

[tex]2x = 7[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{7}{2} [/tex]

Or,

[tex]x + 6 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = 0 - 6[/tex]

[tex]x = - 6[/tex]

Negative value can't be taken.

So, width = [tex] \frac{7}{2} ft[/tex]

Again,

Finding the value of length,

Length = [tex]2x + 5[/tex]

[tex]2 \times \frac{7}{2} + 5[/tex]

[tex]7 + 5[/tex]

[tex]12[/tex]

Length = 12 ft

Answer:

length = 12 ft, width = 3.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

w = width

l = length = 2w + 5

A = wl = w(2w + 5) = 42

2w² + 5w - 42 = 0

(w + 6)(2w - 7) = 0

w + 6 = 0, w = -6 (dimension cannot be negative)

2w - 7 = 0, w = 3.5

l = 2(3.5) + 5 = 12

First, you have to find the length of CD using Tangent Rule, tanθ = opposite/adjacent:

[tex] \tan(θ) = \frac{oppo.}{adj.} [/tex]

[tex]let \: θ = 48[/tex]

[tex]let \: oppo. = cd[/tex]

[tex]let \: adj. = ad = 110[/tex]

[tex] \tan(48) = \frac{cd}{110} [/tex]

[tex]cd = 110 \tan(48)[/tex]

[tex]cd = 122.17 \: feet[/tex]

Next, you have to find the length of BC using Sine Rule:

[tex] \sin(θ) = \frac{oppo.}{hypo.} [/tex]

[tex]let \: θ = 65[/tex]

[tex]let \: oppo. = cd = 122.17[/tex]

[tex]let \: hypo. = bc[/tex]

[tex] \sin(65) = \frac{122.17}{bc} [/tex]

tan (48) = [tex]\frac{CD}{110}[/tex]

110 tan (48) = CD

CD ≈ 122.167

Let’s take triangle BCD.

Find length BC.

sin θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

sin (65) = [tex]\frac{122.167}{BC}[/tex]

BC = [tex]\frac{122.167}{sin(65)}[/tex]
