Answer:

  1. b

  2. For each 1000 miles driven, (a) saves 10.9 gallons, while (b) saves 19.8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel savings will depend on the miles driven. If we use 1000 miles as the reference, the various vehicle fuel usages are ...

  gallons = miles/(miles/gallon)

  18 mpg: 1000/18 = 55.6 gallons

  28 mpg: 1000/28 = 35.7 gallons

  34 mpg: 1000/34 = 29.4 gallons

  54 mpg: 1000/54 = 18.5 gallons

So, ...

  replacing 34 mpg with 54 mpg saves 29.4 -18.5 = 10.9 gallons.

  replacing 18 mpg with 28 mpg saves 55.6 -35.7 ≈ 19.8 gallons.

Replacing the SUV with a sedan saves more fuel, assuming all vehicles are driven the same distance.

__

The fuel use reduction from 18 mpg to 28 mpg is about 36%, whereas from 34 mpg to 54 mpg. the reduction is about 37%. The SUV replacement is a better choice because the smaller fraction of a much larger fuel use is still more savings than obtained by replacing the compact car.

Renting a small moving truck for a day costs $29.95 plus $0.79 per mile that the truck is driven. Ms. Knowles rented a truck for one day and paid $91.57. The equation 29.95 + 0.79d = 91.57 can be used to model this situation. Choose True or False for each statement. A) The variable d represents the number of miles Ms. Knowles drove. B) The term 0.79d represents the charge in dollars for the distance driven. C) You can isolate the term 0.79d by adding 29.95 to both sides of the equation.

Answers

Given:

Renting a small moving truck for a day costs $29.95 plus $0.79 per mile that the truck is driven. Ms. Knowles rented a truck for one day and paid $91.57.

The equation is

[tex]29.95 + 0.79d = 91.57[/tex]

To find:

Whether the statement are true or false.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]29.95 + 0.79d = 91.57[/tex]

Here,

Fixed cost = 29.95

Variable cost = 0.79d, it depends on the number of miles Ms. Knowles drove.

So, the variable d represents the number of miles Ms. Knowles drove.  Hence, statement A is true.

The term 0.79d represents the charge in dollars for the distance driven. Hence, statement B is true.

You can isolate the term 0.79d by subtracting 29.95 from both sides of the equation.

Hence, statement C is false.

Which of the choices below best describes the domain and range of this problem. Domain would be tickets sold and range would be amount of money he collected. Elijah has already sold $40 worth of tickets for a local raffle. He has 5 tickets left to sell at $5 per ticket.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of ticket sold = $40

If one ticket is $5, we need to know the amount of ticket he sold that fetched Elijah $40

$5 = 1ticket

$40 = x tickets

Cross multiply

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8tickets

If he has 5tickets left to sell at $5 per ticket, the total tickets the sold will be 8+3 = 13 tickets

The domain of the problem will be [1, 13]

For the range:

The amount of the remaining 5tickets will be (5×$5) = $25

Initial amount made = $40

Total amount he collected = $25+$40

= $65

The range if the problem will be [$5, $65]

What is the probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes? 2 pts 3. What is the probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4? 2 pts 4. What is the probability of getting a sum of 13 or more?

Answers

Given:

Two dice are rolled together.

Total number of possible outcomes.

To find:

The list of total possible outcomes.

The probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes.

The probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4.

The probability of getting a sum of 13 or more.

Solution:

If two dice are rolled together, then the total number of possible outcomes is 36 and list of total possible outcomes is

S = {(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}

Sum of 11 in these outcomes = {(5,6),(6,5),(6,6)} = 3

The probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes is

[tex]P(\text{sum=11})=\dfrac{3}{36}[/tex]

[tex]P(\text{sum=11})=\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes is [tex]\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex].

Sum less than or equal to 4 = {(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,2),(3,1)} = 6

The probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4 is

[tex]P({sum\leq 4})=\dfrac{6}{36}[/tex]

[tex]P({sum\leq 4})=\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4 is [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex].

Sum of 13 or more = empty set because maximum sum is 12.

The probability of getting a sum of 13 or more is

[tex]P(sum\geq 13)=\dfrac{0}{36}[/tex]

[tex]P({sum\geq 13})=0[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 13 or more is 0.

vertex: (-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x2 + 4x                 + 1  

y = x2 + 4x + 22          + 1 - 22  

y = (x + 2)2 + 1 - 4

y = x² - 4x + 1

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 4x

y = x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4 + 1
