a car drives 630 miles on 35 gallons of gas. How far can it drive on 12 gallons?

Answers

216 is the answer 
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

The car can drive 216 miles on 12 gallons.

What is displacement?

The rate of change of position is called as displacement.

Now it is given that,

Distance traveled by car = 630 miles

Gas required to travel 630 miles = 35 gallons

Therefore, Distance travel n 1 gallon = Distance traveled by car / Gas required to travel 630 miles

⇒ Distance travel n 1 gallon = 630 / 35 miles

⇒ Distance travel n 1 gallon = 18 miles

Therefore, Distance travel n 12 gallon = 12 * Distance travel n 1 gallon

Distance travel n 12 gallon = 12 * 18 miles

Distance travel n 12 gallon = 216 miles.

Thus, the car can drive 216 miles on 12 gallons.

What is the domain of this relation?

{ (-1,5), (4,1), (8,3), (4,5) }

Answers

The answer is the one with all of the x values listed. {-1,4,8}
The domain of a relation is the set of all x values in a set of ordered pairs.

In this case, just take all the x values. They are:

-1, 4, 8, and 4.

Of course, there are no repeats with domain values.

So the domain set would just be -1, 4, and 8.

A spring stretches in relation to the weight hanging from it according to the weight hanging from it according to the equation y = 0.75x + 0.25 where x is the weight in pounds and y is the length of the spring in inches.

How to graph the equation including axis labels
How to interpret the slope and the y-intercept of the line

Answers

Draw a set of coordinate axes.  Label the horiz. axis "x" (to represent weight) and label the vert. axis "y" (to represent length of the spring).

y= spring length = 0.75x + 0.25 (measured in inches).
First, let x=0.  y will then be 0.75(0) + 0.25.  This is your "vertical intercept."
Now position your pencil on that point (0,0.25).   Move your pencil point 1.00 unit to the right from (0,0.25) and then up 0.75 unit.  This is what the "slope" means:  rise over run.  Here the rise is 0.75 and the run is 1.00.

The slope, 0.75, tells us by how much more the spring stretches as 1 more lb of weight is added to the weight already hanging from the spring.

Answer and Explanation:

Given : A spring stretches in relation to the weight hanging from it according  to the equation [tex]y = 0.75x + 0.25[/tex] where x is the weight in pounds and y is the length of the spring in inches.        

To find :

1) How to graph the equation including axis labels  ?

2) How to interpret the slope and the y-intercept of the line?

Solution :

Linear equation  [tex]y = 0.75x + 0.25[/tex]

1) To draw the graph we find the x and y-intercept of the line,

x- intercept i.e. y=0

[tex]0.75x + 0.25=0[/tex]

[tex]0.75x=-0.25[/tex]

[tex]x=-\frac{0.25}{0.75}[/tex]

[tex]x=-0.33[/tex]

y- intercept i.e. x=0

[tex]y=0.75(0) + 0.25[/tex]

[tex]y=0.25[/tex]

Plotting these two points (-0.33,0) and (0,0.25).

Refer the attached figure below.

2) The general form of line is [tex]y=mx+c[/tex]

where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line.

Comparing with given line  [tex]y = 0.75x + 0.25[/tex]

The slope of the line is m=0.75

and the y-intercept of the line is b=0.25.

Answers

Joey scored in the 97th percentile for reading which means that he scored higher than 97% of the people that took the reading test. This puts him in the top 3% of people that took the test. The same reasoning works for the math portion of the test, he scored higher than 72% of people which puts him in the top 28%. This also means that he did much better on the reading portion than on the math. If only 100 people took the math and reading tests, he would have done better than 72 people on the math and 97 people on the reading.

Which of the following expressions could be used to represent "the difference between -17 and -8"?

-8 - (-17)
-17 - 8
-17 - (-8)
-8 + (-17)

Answers

the  last bc the + and - are different that means it will be subtracted.

The expression that represents "the difference between -17 and -8" is the second option:

-17 - (-8)

This expression translates to "negative seventeen minus negative eight," which yields the difference between the two numbers.

Expression: -8 - (-17):

This expression represents "negative eight minus negative seventeen." When you subtract a negative number, it's equivalent to adding its positive counterpart. So, this expression can be simplified to:

-8 + 17 = 9

However, this result does not represent the difference between -17 and -8; it gives the difference between 17 and 8.

Expression: -17 - 8:

This expression represents "negative seventeen minus eight." This directly calculates the difference between -17 and -8. It simplifies to:

-17 - 8 = -25

This indeed represents the difference between -17 and -8.

Expression: -17 - (-8):

This expression represents "negative seventeen minus negative eight." Similar to the first expression, subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart. So, this simplifies to:

-17 + 8 = -9

This result does not represent the difference between -17 and -8; it gives the difference between -17 and 8.

Expression: -8 + (-17):

This expression represents "negative eight plus negative seventeen." It simplifies to -25, which again represents the difference between -17 and -8.

Among these expressions, only the second expression, -17 - 8, correctly represents the difference between -17 and -8.

Answers

a. The unconditional mean of X = 1.75 cars.

b. Conditional Mean of X Given Y=1 is 1.38 cars.

c. Probability of Rachel Selling 1 Car Given Rebecca Selling 3 is 1.07.

d. The covariance COV (X,Y) is 0.23. COV(X,Y) ≠ 0, X,Y not independent.

e. The correlation coefficient is 0.52, The strength is (0.3-0.5) and the direction is positive correlation.

f. The expectation and variance of Z are 10.25 cars and 6.66 cars².

Step-by-Step Joint Probability Distribution of Cars Sold:

a. Unconditional Mean of X:

1. Calculate marginal probabilities of X:

P(X=1) = 0.57, P(X=2) = 0.29, P(X=3) = 0.14

Calculate expected value of X:

E(X) = Σ(xi × P(xi)) = (1 × 0.57) + (2 × 0.29) + (3 × 0.14) = 1.75 cars

b. Conditional Mean of X Given Y=1:

1. Calculate conditional probability:

P(X=1|Y=1) = 0.40 / 0.52

2.Calculate conditional mean:

E(X|Y=1) = (1 × 0.806) + (2 × 0.194) = 1.38 cars

c. Probability of Rachel Selling 1 Car Given Rebecca Selling 3:

1. Calculate conditional probability:

P(Y=1|X=3) = 0.15 / 0.14 = 1.07 (impossible, probabilities must be between 0 and 1)

d. Covariance and Independence:

1. Calculate joint expected values:

[tex]E(XY) = \sum (x_i \times y_i \times P(x_i,y_i)) = 2.74[/tex]

2. Calculate individual variances:

Var(X) = 0.74, Var(Y) = 0.24

3. Calculate covariance:

COV(X,Y) = E(XY) - E(X)E(Y) = 2.74 - (1.75 × 0.88) = 0.23

Since COV(X,Y) ≠ 0, X and Y are not independent.

e. Correlation Coefficient:

1. Calculate correlation coefficient:

ρ(X,Y) = COV(X,Y) / (σ(X) × σ(Y)) = 0.23 / (√0.74 × √0.24) ≈ 0.52

2. Strength: weak positive correlation (0.3-0.5)

3. Direction: positive correlation (positive coefficient)

f. Expectation and Variance of Z:

1. Use properties of mean:

E(Z) = E(3X+5) = 3E(X) + 5 = 3 × 1.75 + 5 = 10.25 cars

2. Use properties of variance:

Var(Z) = 9Var(X) = 9 × 0.74 = 6.66 cars²

What is the solution to the following system of equations? 3x-4y=35 and 3x+4y=5

     40
x=---    or (20/3).
     6

Go back to the original equations.  Choose either one.  Subst. x = 20/3 into that equation and solve for y.

Then write your solution in the form (20/3,   y  ).

The solution to the system of equations is [tex]\(x = \frac{20}{3}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = -\frac{15}{4}\).[/tex]

To solve the system of equations (3x - 4y = 35) and (3x + 4y = 5), we'll use the method of elimination.

Add the two equations together to eliminate the variable (y).

(3x - 4y) + (3x + 4y) = 35 + 5

3x - 4y + 3x + 4y = 40

6x = 40

[tex]\[ x = \frac{40}{6} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x = \frac{20}{3} \][/tex]

Substitute [tex]\(x = \frac{20}{3}\)[/tex] into one of the original equations. Let's use the first equation:

[tex]\[ 3\left(\frac{20}{3}\right) - 4y = 35 \][/tex]

20 - 4y = 35

-4y = 35 - 20

-4y = 15

[tex]\[ y = \frac{15}{-4} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ y = -\frac{15}{4} \][/tex]

So, the solution to the system of equations is [tex]\(x = \frac{20}{3}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = -\frac{15}{4}\).[/tex]

This problem requires calculation in multivariable calculus. Function f = ∇f when f(x, y) = x³/3 + y³/3. To calculate the line integral of ∇f · dr over the curve c, take the difference between the end and start points of the scalar function.

Explanation:

The subject for this calculation is multivariable calculus, dealing with operations such as the gradient (∇) and line integrals.

According to the given function f(x, y) in part (a), it can be seen that f = ∇f for f(x, y) = x³/3 + y³/3. The vector field of this function is conservative since it corresponds to the gradient of a scalar function.

For part (b), you will need to calculate the line integral of ∇f · dr over the curve c, which is y = 2x² from (-1, 2) to (1, 2). The result of this will be the difference between the end and start points of the scalar function: f(1, 2) - f(-1, 2).

Joey needs four hours for one loaf of bread and four hours to a pie.

We want to know the opportunity cost of Rachel to make one loaf of bread.

The opportunity cost is the relation between what she wins and what she could'be wined if she chose the other option.

Explain how to find the difference -4/5-3/5

Answers

Hello There!

The denominators are already the same therefore you don't need to work on making them the same.
Simply just subtract the numerators:
-4 - 3 = -7
The answer is - 7/5

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :) 

- Hannah ❤ 

The difference between -4/5 and -3/5 is found by changing the subtraction to addition and combining the numerators, resulting in -1/5.

To find the difference between -4/5 and -3/5, you change the subtraction operation to addition by changing the sign of the second fraction. This is similar to the process described by the example, where subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart (e.g., 2 - (-6) = 2 + 6). In the case of fractions, the process is the same.

So, the problem -4/5 - (-3/5) becomes -4/5 + 3/5. Since both fractions have the same denominator, you can combine the numerators directly. The result is the difference of the numerators over the common denominator:

-4 - (+3) = -4 + 3 = -1Therefore, -4/5 + 3/5 = (-4 + 3) / 5 = -1/5.

The difference between -4/5 and -3/5 is -1/5.

Last year, Tammy had $20,000 to invest. She invested some of it in an account that paid 7% simple interest per year, and she invested the rest in an account that paid 5% simple interest per year. After one year, she received a total of $1060 in interest. How much did she invest in each account?

Answers

is pretty much the same as the Pablo buying the computers and City charges, so without much fuss let's proceed.

a = invested at 7%

b = invested at 5%

we know she invested a total of 20,000, thus a + b = 2000.

how much is 7% of a? (7/100) * a, 0.07a.

how much is 5% of b? (5/100) * b, or 0.05b

we know the yield is 1060, thus 0.07a + 0.05b = 1060.

[tex]\bf \begin{cases} a+b=20000\implies \boxed{b}=20000-a\\ 0.07a+0.05b=1060\\ ----------\\ 0.07a+0.05\left( \boxed{20000-a} \right)=1060 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 0.07a+1000-0.05a=1060\implies 0.02a=60 \\\\\\ a=\cfrac{60}{0.02}\implies a=3000[/tex]

how much was invested at 5%?  well, b = 20000 - a.

Answer:

  14/15 more pints of strawberries than grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the difference between 2 1/3 and 1 2/5. There are several ways to do this. One is to use a common denominator for the fractions. Here, a convenient denominator is 3·5 = 15. This lets us write the problem as ...

  2 5/15 - 1 6/15

  = (2 -1) + (5/15 -6/15)

  = 1 - 1/15 . . . . of course there are 15/15 in 1, so subtracting 1 of them gives...

  = 14/15

We have rewritten the fraction 1/3 as 5/15. We can do this by multiplying 1/3 by 1, where 1 is in the form 5/5:

  (1/3) = (1/3)·1 = (1/3)·(5/5) = (1·5)/(3·5) = 5/15

Similarly, we have rewritten the fraction 2/5 by multiplying it by 3/3:

  (2/5) = (2/5)·(3/3) = 6/15

__

Both numbers can be converted to improper fractions:

  2 1/3 = (2·3+1)/3 = 7/3

  1 2/5 = (1·5+2)/5 = 7/5

Then the difference can be found using the formula ...

  a/b - c/d = (ad -bc)/(bd)

  7/3 -7/5 = (7·5 -7·3)/(3·5) = (35 -21)/15 = 14/15
