1. A car has a 16-gallon fuel tank. When driven on a highway, it has a gasmileage of 30 miles per gallon. The gas mileage (also

called "fuel efficiency")tells us the number of miles the car can travel for a particular amount of fuel(one gallon of gasoline, in this case). After filling the gas tank, the driver got ona highway and drove for a while.

Given:

Capacity of the car's fuel tank = 16 gallons

Gas mileage of car = 30 miles per gallon

Given that the driver filled the tank and got on a highway, let's solve for the following:

• (a) How many miles has the car traveled if it has the following amounts of gas left in the tank:

Use the expression:

(16-g)\times30

Where g reresents the amount of gas left.

• 15 gallons:

If the car has 15 gallons left, to calculate the distance traveled, we have:

\begin{gathered} (16-15)\times30 \\  \\ =(1)\times30 \\  \\ =30\text{ miles} \end{gathered}

If the car has 15 gallons left, it has traveled for 30 miles.

• 10 gallons:

For 10 gallons, we have:

\begin{gathered} (16-10)\times30 \\  \\ =(6)\times30 \\  \\ =180\text{ miles} \end{gathered}

If the car has 10 gallons left, it has traveled for 180 miles.

• 2.5 gallons:

\begin{gathered} (16-2.5)\times180 \\  \\ =13.5\times180 \\  \\ =405\text{ miles} \end{gathered}

If the car has 2.5 gallons left, it has traveled for 405 miles.

• Part b.

Let's write an equation that shows the relationship between the distance traveled (d), and the amount of gas left in the tank in gallons(x).

To write the equation, we have:

d=(16-x)30

• Part C.

Let's find the amount of gallons left in the tank when the car has traveled the following distances:

• 90 miles:

\begin{gathered} x=16-\frac{90}{30} \\  \\ x=16-3 \\  \\ x=13\text{ gallons} \end{gathered}

If the car has traveled 90 miles, it will have 13 gallons left in the tank.

• 246 miles:

\begin{gathered} x=16-\frac{246}{30} \\  \\ x=16-8.2 \\  \\ x=7.8\text{ gallons} \end{gathered}

If the car has traveled for 246 miles, it will have 7.8 gallons left in the tank.

• Part d.

To write the equation, we have:

x=16-\frac{d}{30}

Papessa [141]

Using it's formula, the average rates of change are given as follows:

a) 30 meters per second.

b) -10 meters per second.

<h3>What is the average rate of change of a function?</h3>

The average rate of change of a function is given by the <u>change in the output divided by the change in the input.</u> Hence, over an interval [a,b], the rate is given by the following equation:

r = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

For item a, taking the data from the table, we have that:

  • f(0) = 0.
  • f(4.6) = 138.

Hence the rate is given as follows:

r = (138 - 0)/(4.6 - 0) = 30 meters per second.

For item b, taking the data from the table, we have that:

  • f(9.2) = 23.
  • f(11.5) = 0.

Hence the rate is given as follows:

r = (0 - 23)/(11.5 - 9.2) = -10 meters per second.

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (−1, 6) and has a slope
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two point form of the equation:

(y-y_1)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\times (x-x_1)

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=Slope=m

(y-y_1)=m\times (x-x_1)

A line passing through the point (-1,6) with slope ,m = -3.

The equation of the line will be:

y-6=(-3)(x-(-1))=(-3)(x+1)

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
