a) You are told the function is quadratic, so you can write cost (c) in terms of speed (s) as

... c = k·s² + m·s + n

Filling in the given values gives three equations in k, m, and n.

28 = k\cdot 10^2+m\cdot 10+n\\21=k\cdot 20^2+m\cdot 20+n\\16=k\cdot 30^2+m\cdot 30+n

Subtracting each equation from the one after gives

-7=300k+10m\\-5=500k+10m

Subtracting the first of these equations from the second gives

2=200k\\\\k=\dfrac{2}{200}=0.01

Using the next previous equation, we can find m.

-5=500\cdot 0.01+10m\\\\m=\dfrac{-10}{10}=-1

Then from the first equation

[tex]28=100\cdot 0.01+10\cdot (-1)+n\\\\n=37[tex]

There are a variety of other ways the equation can be found or the system of equations solved. Any way you do it, you should end with

... c = 0.01s² - s + 37

b) At 150 kph, the cost is predicted to be

... c = 0.01·150² -150 +37 = 112 . . . cents/km

c) The graph shows you need to maintain speed between 40 and 60 kph to keep cost at or below 13 cents/km.

d) The graph has a minimum at 12 cents per km. This model predicts it is not possible to spend only 10 cents per km.

Trina's car uses 12 gallons of gas to travel 144 miles. If she has 6 gallons of gas in the tank, how much more gas will she need
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: 14gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

12gallons/144miles = 1gallon/12miles

Therefore 6gallons = 12*6 = 72miles.

In order to cover 240miles, she will need 240/12 = 20gallons.

20-6 = 14gallons

She will need 14gallons of gas more.

A rectangle has a height of 5x and a width of x + 2. Express the area of the entire rectangle.
o-na [289]
Rectangle Area = length • width

5x • (x + 2) = area

(5x^2 + 10x) is the area, with no further ways to simplify.
