Let

x---------> represent the number of miles Troy's has driven

y--------> represent the amount of gas in Troy's truck

we know that

the equation that represents the amount of gas, y, in troy' s truck after driving a certain number of miles, x is

y-y1=m*(x-x1)

where

m is the slope---------> \frac{gallon}{miles}

in this problem the slope is equal to -\frac{1}{21} \frac{gallons}{miles}

it's negative because the tank is going to be consumed

assuming he starts with a full tank

for\ x=0\ y=30\  gal

substitute in the formula above

y-y1=m*(x-x1)\\\\ y-30=-\frac{1}{21}*(x-0)\\\\ y=-\frac{x}{21}+30

therefore

the answer is

the equation y=-\frac{x}{21}+30

Given that <span>Troy's truck has a 30 gallon gas tank and gets an average of 21 miles per gallon.

Let x represent the number of miles Troy's has driven and let y represent the amount of gas in Troy's truck, then the equation that represents the amount of gas, y, in troy' s truck after driving a certain number of miles, x, (assuming he starts with a full tank) is given by

y = 30 - x/21

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is the set of all inputs for which the given function is defined.

graphically it represents the shadow of the graph taken on the x axis from above and below the x axis

Here is the shadow will be formed from -3 till +∞, hence we have our domain  as [-3 , ∞ ]

In a certain town, the amount of sulfur oxide in the air, S, in tons, is related to the town’s population, P, in people. The rel
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Change in sulfur oxide in the air = \frac{\textup{110010}}{\textup{S}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Relation between the amount of sulfur oxide in the air and the population as:

S² = 110P² + 20P + 600

Population growth rate, \frac{\textup{dP}}{\textup{dt}}  = 10 people per month

Now,

change in sulfur oxide with time i.e \frac{\textup{dS}}{\textup{dt}}

differentiating the given relation with respect to time 't'

we have

2S\frac{\textup{dS}}{\textup{dt}} =  2\times110P\frac{\textup{dP}}{\textup{dt}}  + 20

at P = 100 and  \frac{\textup{dP}}{\textup{dt}}  = 10 people per month

we have

2S\frac{\textup{dS}}{\textup{dt}} = 2 × 110 × 100 × 10 + 20

or

2S\frac{\textup{dS}}{\textup{dt}} = 220020

or

\frac{\textup{dS}}{\textup{dt}} = \frac{\textup{220020}}{\textup{2S}}

or

Change in sulfur oxide in the air = \frac{\textup{110010}}{\textup{S}}
