On a roadtrip, the distance driven can be represented by
the following equation
y = 152
where x is the number of gallons of gas.
What does the 15 represent?

Answers

Answer 1

15 represent the car travled 15 miles / gallons.

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.

We have been given that -

 y = 15 * x

Where y = the distance and

x = the number of gallons of gas to cover that distance.

A common unit of capacity in English-speaking countries, equal to four quarts, the U.S. standard gallon being equal to 231 cubic inches (3.7853 liters), and the British imperial gallon to 277.42 cubic inches (4.546 liters).

Consider the units:

y[miles] = 15[??] * x[gallons]

15[??] = y[miles] / x[gallons]

[??] = [miles] / [gallons]

So the units of the parameter 15 must be [miles / gallon] to convert the gallons to miles.

Therefore 15  represents the miles / gallon for the vehicle.

1. The circle C has centre (5,k), where k is a constant. The line y = 2x + 1 is tangent to C at point
A (3,7). Find the equation of C.

Answers

Answer:

[tex](x-5)^2+(y-6)^2=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the Circle

A circle centered at (h,k) and radius r can be written with the equation:

[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]

We are given the center (5,k), thus:

[tex](x-5)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]

We know the point (3,7) belongs to the circle. This means the distance between the center and this point is the radius.

Given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the distance between them satisfies:

[tex]d^2=(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2[/tex]

Calculating the radius, we have:

[tex]r^2=(7-k)^2+(3-5)^2[/tex]

[tex]r^2=(7-k)^2+4\qquad\qquad [1][/tex]

Now we use the fact that the line y=2x+1 and the circle are tangent at (3,7). The radius and the line are perpendicular at that point. Two perpendicular lines with slopes m1 and m2 satisfy the condition:

[tex]m_1\cdot m_2=-1[/tex]

The line y=2x+1 has a slope of m1=2, thus the slope of the segment from (5,k) to (3,7) has a slope of -1/2:

The slope is calculated as:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{7-k}{3-5}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{7-k}{-2}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Multiplying by -2

[tex]\displaystyle 7-k=1[/tex]

Solving:

k=6

From [1] the radius is:

[tex]r^2=(7-6)^2+4[/tex]

[tex]r^2=1+4[/tex]

[tex]r^2=5[/tex]

Finally, substituting into the equation of the circle:

[tex]\mathbf{(x-5)^2+(y-6)^2=5}[/tex]

A pack of four bags of coffee cost $39.96. How much would 16 bags of coffee cost.
SHOW YOUR WORK

Answers

Answer:

$159.84

What we know - 4 bags cost $39.96

What we need to know - How much 16 bags cost

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by simply knowing how many times 4 goes into 16. We can do this by writing the equation 16 ÷ 4 = 4. We now know that 4 goes into 16 4 times. By doing this we can now multiply $39.96 by 4 to get the cost of 16 bags which is $159.84.

Kenji is decorating papers with a total of 15 heart stickers and 12 star stickers for the child he is babysitting. If he wants to make all the papers identical, with the same combination of heart and star stickers and no stickers left over, what is the greatest number of pages Kenji can decorate?

Answers

Answer: The greatest number of pages Kenji can decorate = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total heart stickers = 15

Total star stickers =12

If all the papers identical, with the same combination of heart and star stickers and no stickers left over.

Then the greatest number of pages Kenji can decorate = GCD(15,12)  [GCD=greatest common divisor]

Since 15 = 3 x 5

12=2 x 2 x 3

GCD(15,12) =3

Hence, the greatest number of pages Kenji can decorate = 3

The triangle and the trapezoid share a 15-inch base and a height of 10 inches. A. The area of the trapezoid is less than twice the area of the triangle. Find the values of x. Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

Possible values of x are whole numbers that are lesser than 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Base; b = 15 inches

Height; h = 10 inches

Formula for area of triangle is;

A_tria = ½bh

A_tria = ½ × 15 × 10

A_tria = 75 Sq.in

Now, formula for trapezoid is;

A_trapez = ½(a + b)h

Where a is the side parallel to the base.

We are told that the area of the trapezoid is less than twice the area of the triangle.

Thus;

½(a + 15)10 < 2(75)

Simplifying;

5(a + 15) < 150

Divide both sides by 5 to get;

a + 15 < 150/5

a + 15 < 30

Subtract 15 from both sides to get;

a < 30 - 15

a < 15

Possible values of x are whole numbers that are lesser than 15 inches

Given

The area of a rectangle is less than 81 square centimeters

length 9cm

width =x cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So 9x-81=0

X=81/9

X=9

Adventureland plans on updating the Arcade with some new and improved games.
They plan on purchasing a new Air hockey table for $875.23, a pinball machine for
$622.19, and two arcade racing games for $942.49 each. What is the total cost for the
new games including an 8.75% sales tax? I will give brainiest

Answers

Answer: $3678.36

Step-by-step explanation:

New airball hockey table = $875.23

pinball machine = $622.19

2 arcade racing games = $942.49 each.= $942.49 × 2 = $1884.98

Total amount without sales tax will be:

= $875.23 + $622.19 + $1884.98

= $3382.4

Sales tax = 8.75% × $3382.4

= 0.0875 × $3382.4

= $295.96

Total cost = $3382.40 + $295.96

= $3678.36

What is Straight line?

a line is an infinitely long object with no width, depth, or curvature. Thus, lines are one-dimensional objects, though they may exist in two, three, or higher dimension spaces.

In the given figure, we need to find the value of x which makes the lines m and n are parallel.

parallel lines are coplanar straight lines that do not intersect at any point. Parallel planes are planes in the same three-dimensional space that never meet.

In the given figure we have two angles 6x+14 and 134.

We need to equate these to find the value of x.

6x+14=134

Subtract 14 from both sides

6x=134-14

6x=120

Divide both sides by 6

x=20

Hence for the value of x =20 will result in lines m and n being parallel
