The function f(x)=2.14/55x + 0.31 can be used to determine the cost, in dollars, of a gallon of gas x years since 1960.

Part A - According to the function, what was the cost, in cents, of a gallon of gas in 1960?

Part B - According to the function, how much did the cost increase each year, rounded to the nearest whole cent?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a linear function is given as:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the function (that is the rate of change), b is the initial value of y when x is 0.

Given that the function where x represent the number of years since 1960 and y is the cost in dollar as:

[tex]f(x)=\frac{2.14}{55}x+0.31[/tex]

a) In the year 1960, that is x = 0, the cost of a gallon of gas is given as:

[tex]f(0)=\frac{2.14}{55}(0)+0.31\\\\f(0)=\$0.31[/tex]

b) From the function [tex]f(x)=\frac{2.14}{55}x+0.31[/tex], we can see that the rate of change is 2.14/55. Therefore, the cost increase each year by 4 cents per year.

[tex]\lim_{h \to \116} x-16/\sqrt{x} -4[/tex]
What is the limit?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \displaystyle 8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to compute the following limit

[tex] \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 16} \left( \frac{x - 16}{ \sqrt{x} - 4} \right) [/tex]

if we substitute 16 directly we'd end up

[tex] \displaystyle = \frac{16 - 16}{ \sqrt{16} - 4} [/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle = \frac{0}{ 0} [/tex]

which isn't a good answer now notice that we have a square root on the denominator so we can rationalise the denominator to do so multiply the expression by √x+4/√x+4 which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 16} \left( \frac{x - 16}{ \sqrt{x} - 4} \times \frac{ \sqrt{x} + 4 }{ \sqrt{x} + 4 } \right) [/tex]

simplify which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 16} \left( \frac{(x - 16)( \sqrt{x} + 4)}{ x - 16} \right) [/tex]

we can reduce fraction so that yields:

[tex] \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 16} \left( \frac{ \cancel{(x - 16)}( \sqrt{x} + 4)}{ \cancel{x - 16} } \right) [/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle \lim _{x \to 16} \left( \sqrt{x } + 4\right) [/tex]

now it's safe enough to substitute 16 thus

substitute:

[tex] \displaystyle = \sqrt{16} + 4[/tex]

simplify square root:

[tex] \displaystyle = 4 + 4[/tex]

simplify addition:

[tex] \displaystyle = 8[/tex]

hence,

[tex] \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 16} \left( \frac{x - 16}{ \sqrt{x} - 4} \right) = 8[/tex]

if f(x)=3x+10, find f(4)?

a. f(4)=17
b. f(4)=22
c. 22
d. f(4)=12

Answers

Answer:

f(4) =22

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3x+10

Let x=4

f(4)=3*4+10

    Multiply

f(4) =12+10

Add

f(4) =22

Answer:

[tex]f(4 )= 22[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]f(x) = 3x + 10[/tex]

[tex]f(4) = 3(4) + 10[/tex]

[tex]f(4) = 3 \times 4 + 10[/tex]

[tex]f(4) = 12 + 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the figure consists of a rectangle with a triangle removed from the corner of it. Therefore, the area of the composite of the figure can be found by subtracting the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle.

Area of the rectangle: [tex]25\cdot 20=500\:\mathrm{in^2}[/tex]

Area of the triangle: [tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 7=17.5\:\mathrm{in^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3.14)(6^2)+2(3.14)(6)(40)= 1733.28

r = radius (which is 6 in. Because radius is half of circumference and the circumference is 12 in.)

h = height of cylinder (which is 40 in. Shown in the diagram)

Answer:

1733.28 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we know:

The diameter of the base (12 in.)The height of the cylinder (40 in.)The formula for the surface area of a cylinder: [tex]SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh[/tex]

1) Determine the radius of the base (r)

The radius is equal to half the diameter. Given the diameter 12 in., we know that the radius would be 6 in.

Radius = 6

2) Plug all values into the SA equation and solve

[tex]SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh\\SA=2\pi (6)^2+2\pi (6)(40)\\SA=2\pi (36)+2\pi (240)\\SA=72\pi+480\pi\\SA=552\pi\\SA=552(3.14)\\SA=552(3.14)\\SA=1733.28[/tex]

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 1733.28 square inches.

To find:

The value of a that makes quadrilateral FGHI a parallelogram​.

Solution:

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

If FGHI is a parallelogram​ and J is the intersection point of diagonals, then

[tex]GJ=IJ[/tex]

[tex]11a=a+10[/tex]

[tex]11a-a=10[/tex]

Our school is selling t-shirts and sweatshirts as a fundraiser . One student buys 2 t-shirts and 2 sweatshirts for $26 . Another student buys 1 t-shirt and 3 sweatshirts for $33 . This situation can be modeled by the system of equations below .

Answers

Answer:

The value of each T-shirt is $ 3 and the value of each sweatshirt is $ 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that our school is selling T-shirts and sweatshirts as a fundraiser, and one student buys 2 Tt-shirts and 2 sweatshirts for $ 26, while another student buys 1 T-shirt and 3 sweatshirts for $ 33, to determine the value of the T-shirts and sweatshirts the following calculation must be made:

2X + 2Y = 26

X + 3Y = 33

Y - X = 7

2 x 3 + 2 x 10 = X

6 + 20 = X

26 = X

Therefore, the value of each T-shirt is $ 3 and the value of each sweatshirt is $ 10.

There is a dot at the ninth tick mark to the right of one-tenth.

Answers

Answer:

9 / 100 ; 0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

From the line plot given :

The number of unlabeled ticks marks between any two labeled tick marks can be obtained by :

(Difference between any two successive labeled tick marks / number of tick marks)

Picking the labeled tick marks, 0 and 1/10

(1/10 - 0) / 10

1 / 10 ÷ 10

1/ 10 * 1 / 10 = 1 / 100

To find the marked point : (this is tick mark 9 from 0) ;

Number of ticks * distance between ticks

Location of marked tick = 1 / 100 * 9 = 9 / 100

Decimal equivalent = 9/100 = 0.09

Answers

Answer:

$120

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount Jin spent = cost of bicycle + cost of helmet

$149 + $19 = $168

This equation can be derived from the question :

1.4 x t = 168

where t = total cost Stephan spent on the helmet and bicycle

t = 168/1.4 = $120

Profit = selling price - cost price

$168 - $120 = $48
