A motor vehicle has a maximum efficiency of 39 mpg at a cruising speed of 40 mph. The efficiency drops at a rate of 0.1 mpg/mph

between 40 mph and 50 mph, and at a rate of 0.4 mpg/mph between 50 mph and 80 mph. What is the efficiency in miles per gallon if the car is cruising at 50 mph

Answer:

38 mpg

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial efficiency = 39 mpg

Initial speed = 40 mph

Final speed = 50 mph

The efficiency drop  between 40 mph and 50 mph is given by:

E_d = 0.1 \frac{mpg}{mph}*\Delta V

The total efficiency drop from 40 to 50 mph is:

E_d = 0.1 \frac{mpg}{mph}*(50-40)mph\\E_d = 1\ mpg

Therefore, the efficiency at 50 mph is:

E_{50} = E_{40} -E_d\\E_{50} = 39 -1\\E_{50} = 38\ mpg

The figure is made up of a cylinder and a sphere which has been cut in half. The radius of each half sphere is 5 mm. What is
alexgriva [62]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Rounded to the nearest hundredth the volume of the composite figure is:</em>

<em>1308 33 cubic millimeters</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello! I wrote the complete question in a comment above. The volume of a cylinder is defined as:

V_{c}=\pi r^2 h \\ \\ r:radius \\ \\ h:height

While the volume of half a sphere is:

V_{hs}=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

Since we have 2 half spheres, then the volume of these is the same as the volume of a sphere:

V_{s}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Then, the composite figure is:

V=\pi r^2 h +\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ V=\pi r^2(h+\frac{4}{3}r)

The radius of the cylinder is the same of the radius of each half sphere. So:

r=5mm \\ \\ h=10mm \\ \\ \\ V=(3.14) (5)^2((10)+\frac{4}{3}(5)) \\ \\ V=25(3.14)(10+\frac{20}{3}) \\ \\ \boxed{V\approx 1308.33mm^3}

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A square tabletop has side lengths of (4x − 8) units. Enter a polynomial that represents the area of the tab
kherson [118]

Answer: 16x^{2}-64x+64

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The formula for calculate th area of a square is shown below:

A=s^{2}

Where s is the side of the square.

2. Therefore, if the square tabletop has side lengths of (4x-8) units you have:

(4x-8)^{2}

3. By definition, the square of a binomial is always a trinomial:

(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}

4. Then, you obtain:

(4x-8)^{2}=(4x)^{2}-2(4x)(-8)+8^{2}=16x^{2}-64x+64
