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.

2x+3y=15

Simultaneously equations

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your system by substitution.

2x+3y=15;x+y=6

Rewrite equations:

x+y=6;2x+3y=15

Step: Solvex+y=6for x:

x+y=6

x+y+−y=6+−y(Add -y to both sides)

x=−y+6

Step: Substitute−y+6forxin2x+3y=15:

2x+3y=15

2(−y+6)+3y=15

y+12=15(Simplify both sides of the equation)

y+12+−12=15+−12(Add -12 to both sides)

y=3

Step: Substitute3foryinx=−y+6:

x=−y+6

x=−3+6

x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=3 and y=3

Answer:

x = 3, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = 15 → (1)

x + y = 6 → (2)

Multiplying 2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate x

- 2x - 2y = - 6 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x + 3(3) = 15

2x + 9 = 15 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Answers

Answer:

5 is 35 and 6 is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve 5, you need to know how many degrees is the line, which is 180 because lines are 180 degrees. You then subtract 110 from 180 which equals to 70. What you have left now is 2k. A number times 2 will equal to 70, so k=35.

For 6, if you ever see two lines intersecting each other, it means that it is 360 degrees. We already have one angle, which is 120. The other angle is d+70 degrees, and any angle that is reflecting the other angle will have the same value. So, d equals 50

{ANS: R=2}​

Answers

Answer:

remainder = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial f(x) is divided by (x - a) then the remainder is f(a)

Here f(x) = 4x³ - 5x² + 2x - 14 is divided by (x - 2) then remainder is f(2)

f(2) = 4(2)³ - 5(2)² + 2(2) - 14

Length of old board = 68.2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let old board length be x

Given new board is 120 % longer than old board = x + 120% of x

Length of new board = 150cm

Therefore,

x + 120% of x = 150

[tex]x + \frac{120}{100} x = 150\\\\x + 1.20x = 150\\\\2.2x = 150 \\\\x = 68.18 = 68.2cm[/tex]

Answers

Answer: [tex]20,706\ m^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The warehouse has the following dimension

Height is [tex]h=8\frac{1}{2}\ m[/tex]

[tex]h=\dfrac{17}{2}\ m[/tex]

Length is [tex]l=120\ m[/tex]

Width is [tex]w=20\frac{3}{10}\ m[/tex]

[tex]w=\dfrac{203}{10}\ m[/tex]

Volume of the warehouse is the product of height, length and width

[tex]\Rightarrow V=h\times l\times w\\\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{17}{2}\times 120\times \dfrac{203}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow V=20,706\ m^3[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the warehouse is [tex]20,706\ m^3[/tex].

Ms. Li opened a retirement account with adeposit of $2,500. This account earns 4% simple interest annually. How many years will it take her to earn $500 on her $2,500 deposit?

Answers

Answer:

5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the simple interest formula: I = prt

Plug in 500 as I, since that is the amount of interest being earned.

Plug in 2,500 as P and 1.04 as r.

I = prt

500 = (2,500)(0.04)t

500 = 100t

5 = t

So, it will take 5 years to earn $500 on the deposit.
