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.

Which of the following equations is the formula of f(x) = x^1/3 but shifted 4 units to the left and 4 units up?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Hence correct chcie is C.

f\left(x\right)=(x+4)^{\frac{1}{3}}+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f\left(x\right)=x^{\frac{1}{3}}

Now it says that function is shifted 4 units to the left and 4 units up.

We need to find about which of the given choice is correct for the given transformation.

When f(x) is shifted "h" units left then we write f(x+h)

So f\left(x\right)=x^{\frac{1}{3}} will change to

f\left(x\right)=(x+4)^{\frac{1}{3}}

When f(x) is shifted "h" units up then we write f(x)+h

So f\left(x\right)=(x+4)^{\frac{1}{3}} will change to

f\left(x\right)=(x+4)^{\frac{1}{3}}+4

A sea lion dove from the water's surface at sea level to an altitude of −216.12 meters in 2.4 minutes. What is the average chang
alexandr1967 [171]
2.4 minutes is 144 seconds. divide -216.12 by it to get altitude per second. This is 1.5 meters per second. Multiply this by 60 to get the rate per minute, totaling 90.05 meters per minute. Sorry if this explanation was long that was how I remember.

4/5(2x+5)−4=1<br><br> x = 1 1/4<br> x = 1 2/5<br> x = 5/8<br> x = 3 1/5
tia_tia [17]
The answer is x=5/8. The reason for this is when you divide it equal 0.625 then when you multiply that by 2 it equals 1.25. After you do that you add 5 which is 6.25. Now we divide 4/5 which is 0.8. Now, we multiply 6.25x0.8=5. 5-4=1. Therefore your answer is 5/8. Hope this helps :)
