We assume the petrol tank was full at the beginning of the journey.

The petrol tank holds x litres.

x - 1/3 x - 2/5 x = 8

15x/15 - 5x/15 - 6x/15 = 8

4x/15 = 8

4x = 120

x = 30

The petrol tank holds 30 litres.

Find the length of the hypotenuse.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 10.9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate one side of a right triangle from the other 2 sides we have to use Pythagoras

h = hypotenuse

a = leg 1 = 6.8ft

b = leg 2 = 8.5ft

h² = a² + b²

we replace the known values

h² = (6.8ft)² + (8.5ft)²

h² = 46.24ft² + 72.25ft²

h² = 118.49ft²

h = √(118.49ft²)

h = 10.8853 ft

Round to the nearest tenth

h = 10.8853 ft = 10.9ft

The length of the hypotenuse is 10.9ft

State the horizontal asymptote is the rational function. F(x)=x+9/x^2+8x+8
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When the degree of the denominator of a rational function is greater than the degree of the numerator, then the equation of the horizontal asymptote is

y = 0

here degree of numerator is 1 and degree of denominator is 2

Degree of denominator > degree of numerator, thus

y = 0 ← equation of horizontal asymptote
