Answer:
a. 8 gallons
b. (11-0.75t) gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Here in this question, we are told that the total amount of fuel in the fuel tank is 11 gallons and the car consumes 0.75 gallon per hour. We are interested in knowing the amount of fuel left in the tank after driving for four hours.
We proceed as follows;
Since 0.75 gallon is consumed in an hour, the amount of fuel consumed in 4 hours would be the amount consumed in an hour * 4 hours
Mathematically, that would be 0.75 * 4 = 3 gallon
Now, the amount of fuel left is simply the difference between the initial amount of fuel in the tank minus the amount of fuel present after 4 hours.
That would be; 11 - 3 = 8 gallons
b. Like above, we want to know the amount of fuel left after t hours.
Since 0.75 is used up per hour, the amount used up in t hours would be 0.75 * t = 0.75t
Now, the amount of fuel that would be left in the tank would be the difference between what we had initially and what was used up.
Mathematically, that would be 11- 0.75t
2. At a local restaurant, 55% of people order an appetizer to start while 25%
order a salad to start. Also, 18% choose both an appetizer and a salad to start.
What percentage of people order a salad or an appetizer to start?
Answer:
Probability of people order a salad or an appetizer P(A∪B) = 62%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Probability of appetizer P(A) = 55%
Probability of salad P(B) = 25%
Probability of choose both P(A∩B) = 18%
Find:
Probability of people order a salad or an appetizer P(A∪B)
Computation:
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
P(A∪B) = 55% + 25% - 18%
P(A∪B) = 62%
Probability of people order a salad or an appetizer P(A∪B) = 62%
Explain how to solve 3^x-4=6 using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b. include the solution for x in your answer. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
Answer:
x = log 10/log 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3^x - 4 = 6
3^x = 10
We take log base 3 of both sides since log_3 3^x is simply x.
log_3 3^x = log_3 10
x = log_3 10
We have an answer for x, but it is a log base 3. We want log base 10.
Now we use the change of base formula.
log_b y = log y/log b
x = log 10/log 3

Step-by-step explanation:
The citizens of a certain community were asked to choose their favorite pet. The pie chart below shows the distribution of the citizens' answers. If there are 140,000 citizens in the community, how many chose Fish or Cats?
Incomplete Question:
The content of the pie chart is as follows:
Hamsters = 9% ; Snakes = 10% ; Cats = 23%
Birds = 21% ; Dogs = 26% ; Fish = 11%
Answer:
The number of citizens who chose cat or fish is 47,600
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Number of citizens = 140,000
Required
Determine the number of those that chose fish or cats
First, we need to calculate the percentage of those whose pets are either cats or fish
[tex]Percentage = Cat + Fish[/tex]
Substitute 23% for cat and 11% for fish
[tex]Percentage = 23\% + 11\%[/tex]
[tex]Percentage = 34\%[/tex]
Next, is to multiply the calculated percentage by the number of citizens
[tex]Cat\ or\ Fish = Percentage * Number\ of\ Citizens[/tex]
[tex]Cat\ or\ Fish = 34\% * 140000[/tex]
[tex]Cat\ or\ fish = 47600[/tex]
Hence, the number of citizens who chose cat or fish is 47,600
the number of citizens who chose cat or fish is 47,600
The calculation is as follows;= Number of citizens × total percentage
[tex]= 140,000 \times (23\% + 11\%)\\\\= 140,000 \times 34\%[/tex]
= 47,600

Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Expansion using pascal triangle:
a) (x + 2)⁶ = x⁶2⁰ + 6(x⁵)(2)¹ + 15(x⁴)(2²) + 20(x³)(2³) + 15(x²)(2⁴) + 6(x)(2⁵) + 1(2⁶)
= x⁶ + 12x⁵ + 60x⁴ + 160x³ + 240x² + 192x + 64
b) (x-4)⁴ = x⁴ + 4(x³)(-4) + 6(x²)(-4)² + 4(x)(-4)³ + 1(x⁰)(-4)⁴
=x⁴-16x³+96x²-256x+256
c) (2x + 3)⁵ = (2x)⁵ + 5(2x)⁴(3) + 10(2x)³(3)² + 10(2x)²(3)³ + 5(2x)(3)⁴ + 1(2x)⁰(3)⁵ =
= 32x⁵ + 240x⁴ + 720x³ + 1080x² + 810x + 243
d) (2x-3y)⁴ = 1(2x)⁴(-3y)⁰ + 4(2x)³(-3y) + 6(2x)²(-3y)² + 4(2x)(-3y)³ + 1(2x)⁰(-3y)⁴
= 16x⁴- 96x³ + 216x² - 216x + 81
Expansion using binomial where [tex]C(n,r)=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}[/tex]
a) (x + 2)⁶ = C(6,0)[x⁶2⁰] + C(6,1)[(x⁵)(2)¹] + C(6,2)[(x⁴)(2²)] + C(6,3)[(x³)(2³)] + C(6,4)[(x²)(2⁴)] + C(6,5)[(x)(2⁵)] + C(6,6)[(2⁶)]
= x⁶2⁰ + 6(x⁵)(2)¹ + 15(x⁴)(2²) + 20(x³)(2³) + 15(x²)(2⁴) + 6(x)(2⁵) + 1(2⁶)
= x⁶ + 12x⁵ + 60x⁴ + 160x³ + 240x² + 192x + 64
b) (x-4)⁴ = C(4,0)[x⁴] + C(4,1)[(x³)(-4)] + C(4,2)[(x²)(-4)²] + C(4,3)[(x)(-4)³] + C(4,4)[(x⁰)(-4)⁴]
= x⁴ + 4(x³)(-4) + 6(x²)(-4)² + 4(x)(-4)³ + 1(x⁰)(-4)⁴

c) (2x + 3)⁵ = C(5,0)[(2x)⁵] + C(5,1)[(2x)⁴(3)] + C(5,2)[(2x)³(3)²] + C(5,3)[(2x)²(3)³] + C(5,4)[(2x)(3)⁴] + C(5,5)[(2x)⁰(3)⁵]
= (2x)⁵ + 5(2x)⁴(3) + 10(2x)³(3)² + 10(2x)²(3)³ + 5(2x)(3)⁴ + 1(2x)⁰(3)⁵
= 32x⁵ + 240x⁴ + 720x³ + 1080x² + 810x + 243
d) (2x-3y)⁴ = C(4,0){(2x)⁴(-3y)⁰} + C(4,1)[(2x)³(-3y)] + C(4,2)[(2x)²(-3y)²] + C(4,3)[(2x)(-3y)³] + C(4,4)[(2x)⁰(-3y)⁴]
= 1(2x)⁴(-3y)⁰ + 4(2x)³(-3y) + 6(2x)²(-3y)² + 4(2x)(-3y)³ + 1(2x)⁰(-3y)⁴
= 16x⁴- 96x³ + 216x² - 216x + 81
In the expansion of (3a + 4b)⁸, the only possible variable terms are a⁵b³, b⁸, a⁴b⁴, a⁸, ab⁷ because for each of them, the sum of there powers is eight. If the sum of the powers is not 8 then it is not correct.
For a²b³, the sum of the power is 5, for ab⁸ the sum of power is 9 and for a⁶b⁵ the sum of the power is 11 therefore thy are not correct.

0. A submarine was at sea level and
then dove 752 ft. It then rose at a rate
of 12 ft. per minute. What was the
depth of the submarine after 8
minutes?
Also idk the equation so if u could help me out with that id be grateful
One equation you can use is y = -12x+752 and you plug in x = 8 to find y.
=================================================
Explanation:
x = number of minutes
y = depth of the submarine
Being at sea level means the depth is y = 0. Diving 752 ft below sea level means the depth is y = 752. It's tempting to make this negative since we're below sea level, but depth values are always positive. They are simply distances you are from the surface of the water. Negative distances are never possible. So this concept might be a bit tricky to get used to.
Possibly equally confusing is the fact that the "12 ft per minute" means the slope is -12. This is because the depth is getting smaller as the submarine gets closer to the surface (aka the sub is rising).
The equation is y = -12x+752. The equation is in the form y = mx+b with m = -12 as the slope and b = 752 as the y intercept. Note how the y intercept is the starting depth value.
From here, we plug in x = 8 to find where the sub is
y = -12x+752
y = -12*8+752
y = -96+752
y = 656
The submarine's depth after eight minutes is 656 feet
----------------------
An alternative equation to use is
y = 12x-752
which is very similar to the other one used earlier. All I did was flip the sign of each term. Now y represents the height of the sub. Negative y values indicate we're below the surface of the water. The slope being positive means the submarine is going upward. The negative y intercept indicates we're starting 752 feet below sea level. Plugging in x = 8 will lead to y = -656, which you'll need to make positive (since all depth values are positive).
As you can probably guess, the change from y = -12x+752 and y = 12x-752 is simply multiplying the right hand side by -1, which explains why the signs flip (and explains how the y value sign flips as well)

Yes , the series is an arithmetic sequence of common difference 2
What is Arithmetic Progression?
An arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers in which each term is derived from the preceding term by adding or subtracting a fixed number called the common difference "d"
The general form of an Arithmetic Progression is a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d and so on. Thus nth term of an AP series is Tn = a + (n - 1) d, where Tₙ = nth term and a = first term. Here d = common difference = Tₙ - Tₙ₋₁
Sum of first n terms of an AP: Sₙ = ( n/2 ) [ 2a + ( n- 1 ) d ]
Given data ,
Let the number of terms n = 20
The number of tiles in the first row = 10 tiles
The number of tiles in the second row = 2 more than first row
The number of tiles in the second row = 12 tiles
The number of tiles in the third row = 14 tiles
So , the sequence will be , 10 , 12 , 14 , 16 ...
The number of terms n = 20
The first term a = 10
The common difference d = second term - first term
The common difference d = 12 - 10 = 2
The series is an arithmetic sequence and the 20th term of the sequence will be
a₂₀ = a + ( n - 1 )d
a₂₀ = 10 + ( 19 ) 2
a₂₀ = 10 + 38
a₂₀ = 48 tiles
Hence , the series is an arithmetic sequence

You need to prepare 30mL solution of a 1:8 syrup solution. You have on hand 50% syrup solution and a 1:20 soda solution. How many mL of each solution do you need to create the final solution?
Answer:
5 ml of 50% syrup solution will be used to create the final solution
Step by step Explanation:
Let the amount of 50% solution that was used = b
Which means ( 30 - b ) is the amount of 1/200 solution used then we can derive an equation as follows,
set up will then be,
0.5b +0.05(30 -b) = 1/8 (30)
We can simplifiy this as
0.5b+ 1.5 -0.05b = 3.75
Then make b the subject of the formula we have
0.45b = 2.25
b= 2.25/0.45
b = 5 ml
Therefore, 5ml of 50% syrup solution will be used to create the final solution

It looks like you're trying to evaluate the sum,
[tex]\displaystyle \frac2{4\times7} + \frac2{7\times10} + \frac2{10\times13}+\cdots+\frac2{49\times52}[/tex]
which can be written as
[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{16} \frac2{(3n+1)(3n+4)}[/tex]
Split up the summand into partial fractions:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac2{(3n+1)(3n+4)} = \frac a{3n+1} + \frac b{3n+4} \\\\ \implies 2 = a(3n+4)+b(3n+1) \\\\ \implies 2 = (3a+3b)n+4a+b[/tex]
so that
3a + 3b = 0, or a = -b
4a + b = 2
Solve for a and b :
4a + (-a) = 3a = 2 ==> a = 2/3 ==> b = -2/3
So the sum is
[tex]\displaystyle \frac23 \sum_{n=1}^{16} \left(\frac1{3n+1} - \frac1{3n+4}\right)[/tex]
Write out the first terms and observe that several terms cancel with each other:
2/3 (1/4 - 1/7)
+ 2/3 (1/7 - 1/10)
+ 2/3 (1/10 - 1/13)
+ …
+ 2/3 (1/43 - 1/46)
+ 2/3 (1/46 - 1/49)
+ 2/3 (1/49 - 1/52)
So the sum collapses and simplifies to
[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{16} \frac2{(3n+1)(3n+4)} = \frac23 \left(\frac14 - \frac1{52}\right) = \boxed{\frac2{13}}[/tex]
