56 divided by 7 = 8
48 divided by 6 = 8

8 = 8

since it is the same rate, then
Yes, the truck can travel 48 miles with 6 gallons of fuel

All thing held equal, yes 6 gallons should work. The truck can travel 8 miles per gallon , or 7 gallons times 8 equals 56 miles. Now if there were variables such as traffic or hills or turning on the air conditioning, that could affect how many miles per gallon the truck gets.

Where does the section of the bridge meet ground level? Solve 0 = -x2 + 10x - 8

djverab [1.8K]

In can be less mental effort if the equation is multiplied by -1 first.
.. x^2 -10x +8 = 0
.. x^2 -10x +25 +8 -25 = 0
.. (x -5)^2 = 17
.. x -5 = ±√17
.. x = 5 ±√17

The values of x that satisfy the given equation are
.. x = 5 -√17 ≈ 0.877
.. x = 5 +√17 ≈ 9.123

(TIMED), Which equation is represented in the graph?

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

y = e^x

Step-by-step explanation:

That curve represents a typical function of y = e^x, and to decide if it is y = e^x or y = e^x + 1 you need to replace x = 0

y = e^(0) = 1

y = e^(0) + 1 = 2

If you see the graph when x = 0, y = 1

So it is y = e^x

Based on what you know now, how are linear and exponential functions alike?

Ainat [17]

Answer:

They're similar in that they both have to maintain a steady rate of rise as they grow. While graphing, you can't adjust the slope or exponent after traveling up a graph.
