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

Make a conjecture about the next item in the sequence 1, -4, 9, -16
Snezhnost [94]
To get -4 from 1, we must either subtract 5 from 1 or mult. 1 by -4.  Unfortunately subtracting 5 from -4 does not result in 9, and mult -4 by -4 does not result in -16.  So neither "works"  in predicting the next term.

Can you think of any other experiments to do that would help you discover the pattern 1, -4, 9, -16?

The selling price of a​ refrigerator, is ​$ 796.40 . If the markup is 10 % of the​ dealer's cost, what is the​ dealer's cost of
8_murik_8 [283]

The final price (what it is selling for) is $796.40

The markup is 10% of the original price (the dealer's cost) , meaning that it is 10% more.

We need to find the original price.

We write this as an equation

The original price *110% = final price

This is because the original price is itself (100%) added with 10%

Plug in the known final price

Original Price * 110% = 796.40

Convert 110% to a decimal because the other numbers- such as the final price are also decimal numbers.

Convert 110% to a decimal by moving the decimal point up 2 spaces ( basically dividing it by 100)

110% = 1.1

So it is now

Original price *1.1 = 796.40

Divide both sides by 1.1 to isolate our unknown, the original price

Original price = $724
