2250 gallons. You have to think of the ratio. 300•750=225000
225000/100=2250
You have to do cross multiplication

Line FG goes through the points (4,9) and (1,3). Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to FG and passes through
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

x + 2y= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points:

F = (4,9)

G = (1,3)

Required

Determine the equation of line that is perpendicular to the given points and that pass through (2,0)

First, we need to determine the slope, m of FG

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

Where

F = (4,9) --- (x_1,y_1)

G = (1,3) --- (x_2,y_2)

m = \frac{3 - 9}{1 - 4}

m = \frac{- 6}{- 3}

m =2

The question says the line is perpendicular to FG.

Next, we determine the slope (m2) of the perpendicular line using:

m_2 = -\frac{1}{m}

m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}

The equation of the line is then calculated as:

y - y_1 = m_2(x - x_1)

Where

m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}

(x_1,y_1) = (2,0)

y - 0 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)

y  = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)

y  = -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

Multiply through by 2

2y = -x + 2

Add x to both sides

x + 2y= -x +x+ 2

x + 2y= 2

Hence, the line of the equation is x + 2y= 2

There are 4 cups in a quart and 4 quarts in a gallon how many cups in a 5 gallon jug of water
Marysya12 [62]
80 cups in a 5 gallon jug of water.

1 quart has 4 cups
1 gallon has 4 quarts
1 gallon = 4 quarts * 4 cups = 16 cups

5 gallons = has 80 cups of water.

(4 cups / 1 quart) x (4 quarts / 1 gallon) x (5 gallons) = 4 x 4 x 5 = 80 cups <u>

Plz help!

First, you need to find the derivative of this function.  This is done by multiplying the exponent of the variable by the coefficient, and then reducing the exponent by 1.  

f'(x)=3x^2-3

Now, set this function equal to 0 to find x-values of the relative max and min.

0=3x^2-3

0=3(x^2-1)

0=3(x+1)(x-1)

x=-1, 1

To determine which is the max and which is the min, plug in values to f'(x) that are greater than and less than each.  We will use -2, 0, 2.

f'(-2)=3(-2)^2-3=3(4)-3=12-3=9

f'(0)=3(0)^2-3=3(0)-3=0-3=-3

f'(2)=3(2)^2=3(4)-3=12-3=9

We examine the sign changes to determine whether it is a max or a min.  If the sign goes from + to -, then it is a maximum.  If it goes from - to +, it is a minimum.  Therefore, x=-1 is a relative maximum and x=1 is a relative miminum.

To determine the values of the relative max and min, plug in the x-values to f(x).

f(-1)=(-1)^3-3(-1)+1=-1+3+1=3

f(1)=(1)^3-3(1)+1=1-3+1=-1

Hope this helps!!
