A certain hybrid car has a mileage rating of 57 miles per gallon. if the car makes a trip of 293 miles, how many gallons of gaso

To determine the number of gallons of gasoline that is used, we need to know the rate of usage of gasoline. This rate would describe the number of gasoline in units of volume that is being used per distance in units of length. In this case, we need the rate in units of miles per gallon. From what is asked and the given values, we simply divide the rate to the the total distance that was traveled by the car. We calculate as follows:

Gallons of gasoline = 293 miles / 57 miles / gallon
Gallons of gasoline = 5.14 gallons

Therefore, about 5 gallons of gasoline was consumed by the hybrid car for a distance of 57 miles.

Find an equation of the tangent to the curve x =5+lnt, y=t2+5 at the point (5,6) by both eliminating the parameter and without e
svet-max [94.6K]

ANSWER

y = 2x -4

EXPLANATION

Part a)

Eliminating the parameter:

The parametric equation is

x = 5 +  ln(t)

y =  {t}^{2}  + 5

From the first equation we make t the subject to get;

x - 5 =  ln(t)

t =  {e}^{x - 5}

We put it into the second equation.

y =  { ({e}^{x - 5}) }^{2}  + 5

y =  { ({e}^{2(x - 5)}) }  + 5

We differentiate to get;

\frac{dy}{dx}  = 2 {e}^{2(x - 5)}

At x=5,

\frac{dy}{dx}  = 2 {e}^{2(5 - 5)}

\frac{dy}{dx}  = 2 {e}^{0}  = 2

The slope of the tangent is 2.

The equation of the tangent through

(5,6) is given by

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y - 6 = 2(x - 5)

y = 2x - 10 + 6

y = 2x -4

Without eliminating the parameter,

\frac{dy}{dx}  =  \frac{ \frac{dy}{dt} }{ \frac{dx}{dt} }

\frac{dy}{dx}  =  \frac{ 2t}{  \frac{1}{t} }

\frac{dy}{dx}  =  2 {t}^{2}

At x=5,

5 = 5 +  ln(t)

ln(t)  = 0

t =  {e}^{0}  = 1

This implies that,

\frac{dy}{dx}  =  2 {(1)}^{2}  = 2

The slope of the tangent is 2.

The equation of the tangent through

(5,6) is given by

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y - 6 = 2(x - 5) =

y = 2x -4

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 4x + 8?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

(A) h(x) = 1/4x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: f(x)=4x+8

Rewrite with y: y=4x+8

Switch x and y: x=4y+8

Solve for y: x-8=4y

(x-8)/4=y

1/4x-2=y

y=1/4x-2

This means that h(x) = 1/4x -2 is the correct answer

The table shows the input and output of a function Table(input:3,4,6,11. Output:5,7,11,21) write an equation, in function nation
Anni [7]

f(x) = 2x - 1

To obtain a function we require values of x for x = 3, 4, 5 , 6, .....

The output appears to increase in steps of 2

3 → 5

4 → 7

5 → 9

6 → 11

Looking at the consecutive values of y we should see that these are twice the corresponding value of x subtract 1

f(x) = 2x - 1 ← is a possible function

checking the values for x in the input


f(3) =(2 × 3 ) - 1 = 5

f(4) = (2 × 4 ) - 1 = 7

f(6) = (2 × 6 ) - 1 = 11

f(11) = (2 × 11 ) - 1 = 21
