Answer:
<h2>14mph</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the gas mileage for a certain vehicle modeled by the equation m=−0.05x²+3.5x−49 where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. In order to determine the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg, we will substitute the value of m = 9 into the modeled equation and calculate x as shown;
m = −0.05x²+3.5x−49
when m= 9
9 = −0.05x²+3.5x−49
−0.05x²+3.5x−49 = 9
0.05x²-3.5x+49 = -9
Multiplying through by 100
5x²+350x−4900 = 900
Dividing through by 5;
x²+70x−980 = 180
x²+70x−980 - 180 = 0
x²+70x−1160 = 0
Using the general formula to get x;
a = 1, b = 70, c = -1160
x = -70±√70²-4(1)(-1160)/2
x = -70±√4900+4640)/2
x = -70±(√4900+4640)/2
x = -70±√9540/2
x = -70±97.7/2
x = -70+97.7/2
x = 27.7/2
x = 13.85mph
x ≈ 14 mph
Hence, the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg to the nearest mph is 14mph
0.4 grams or 0.40 grams however you like writing decimals, but either way they are both the same.
Answer:
35×14-16
Step-by-step explanation:
times means × and minus means -
Answer:
B. 20x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Get rid of the parenthesis and combine like terms: 18x + 2x and 9k + 6k
You get: 20x + 15.
