A car has a gas tank that holds 12.5 U.S. gal. Using the conversion factors from the inside front cover, (a) determine the size

of the gas tank in cubic inches. (b) A cubit is an ancient measurement of length that was defined as the distance from the elbow to the tip of the finger, about 18 in. long. What is the size of the gas tank in cubic cubits?

Answer:

a) 2891.012 in^{3}

b) 0.496 cubits^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know 1 US gallon = 3.79 L

Also

1L =61.024 in^{3}

and given 1 cubit - 18 in

a) gas tank = 12.5 Us gal. = 12.5×3.79 = 47.375L=47.375×61.024= 2891.012 in^{3}

b) as 1 cubit =18 inches

or

18 inches = 1 cubit

==> 1 inch = 1/18 cubit =0. 055555556 cubit

Taking cube on both sides;

==>1 inch^{3}= 0.055555556^{3}  cubits ^{3}

1 inch^{3}= 0.055555556 ×0.055555556×0.055555556=0.000171468 cubits^{3}

so size of gas tank = 2891.012×0.000171468=0.495715375=0.496 cubits^{3}

A painter leans a 15 ft ladder against a building. The base of the ladder is 6 ft from the building. To the nearest foot, how hi

Using the Pythagoras theorem 

15^2 = x^2 + h^2   where h = height of ladder on the nuiding

h^2 = 15^2 - 6^2  =  189

 = 13.75 ft to nearest hundredth

Answer:

11) Here given Function,

f(x) = \sqrt{2x-11}

And, g(x) = -|0.1|x+5

For f(x) = g(x)

\sqrt{2x-11}=-|0.1|x+5

2x-11=(-|0.1|x+5)^2

2x-11=0.01x^2 - 10|0.1|x+25

2x=0.01x^2 - 10|0.1|x+25+11

2x=0.01x^2 - 10|0.1|x+36

0.01x^2 - 10|0.1|x - 2x+36=0

When we solve this equation,

We found,

 x = 12.5227 ≈ 12.53

Thus, the required solution is, x = 12.53

12) Here the height of rocket A in x second,

f(x) = -16x^2+74x+9

And, The height gain by the rocket B in x seconds,

g(x) = -16x^2+82x

If at x seconds both A and B gain the same height,

That is, f(x) = g(x)

⇒ -16x^2+74x+9= -16x^2+82x

⇒74x + 9 = 82x

⇒ 82x - 74x = 9

⇒ 8x = 9

⇒ x = 1.125 ≈ 1.13

Thus, the required solution is x = 1.13 seconds (approx)

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?
Luda [366]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2} ⇒ answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the inverse of a function

- To find the inverse of a function :

# Write y = f(x)

# Switch the x and y

# Solve to find the new y

# The new y is f^{-1}

* Lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = 2x + 1

- Put y = f(x)

∴ y = 2x + 1

- Switch x and y

∴ x = 2y + 1

- Solve to find the new y

∵ x = 2y + 1

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ x - 1 = 2y

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ (x - 1)/2 = y

- Divide each term in the left hand side by 2

∴ y = 1/2 x - 1/2

- Replace y by f^{-1}

∴ f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

* The inverse of the function is f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}
