X - ( 1 / 2 )x - ( 1 / 3)x = 6x / 6 - 3x / 6 - 2x / 6 = ( 1 / 6 )x, where x is full tank of gas
The answer is 1 / 6 of the gas have left ;

Write the standard form of the equation for the circle that passes through the points (2,31),(-15,14),(33,0)

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin with the standard form of a circle as a conic:

$Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0$

For a circle, A and C will be the exact same, and B will equal 0. If B is non-zero, the equation represents a rotation of a conic, which is reserved for college-level courses. Shortening this, then:

$x^2+y^2+Dx+Ey+F=0$ is good enough for us for this. Start with the first point on the circle, (2, 31) and fill in the equation above with x and y:

$2^2+31^2+2D+31E+F=0$ which simplifies down to:

$(1):2D+31E+F=-965$

Do the same with the next point on the circle, (-15, 14):

$-15^2+14^2-15D+14E+F=0$ which simplifies down to:

$(2):-15D+14E+F=0$

Do the same with the last point, (33, 0):

$33^2+0^2+33D+0E+F=0$ which simplifies down to:

$(3):33D+F=-1089$

Now we will add (1) and (2) to get (4):

2D + 31E + F = -965

-15D + 14E + F = -421

Multiply the top equatio by -1 to get rid of the F terms:

-2D - 31E - F = 965

-15D + 14E + F = -421

which simplifies to

(4): -17D - 17E = 544

Now add (2) and (3) to get (5):

-15D + 14E + F = -421

33D + F = -1089

Multiply the bottom equation by -1 to get rid of the F terms:

-15D + 14E + F = -421

-33D - F = 1089

which simplifies to

(5): -48D + 14E = 668

Now add (4) and (5) together and eliminate the E terms:

-17D - 17E = 544

-48D + 14E = 668

In order to eliminate the E terms, multiply the top equation by 14 and the bottom equation by 17 to solve for D:

-238D - 238E = 7616

-816D + 238E = 11356

Which gives you that

D = -18

Now plug the value for D into (4) to find E:

-17(-18) - 17E = 544 and

306 - 17E = 544 and

-17E = 238 so

E = -14

Now plug the values for both D and E into (1) to find F:

2(-18) + 31(-14) + F = -965 and

-36 - 434 + F = -965 and

-470 + F = -965 so

F = -495

Now we can fill in the standard form of the conic:

$x^2+y^2-18x-14y=495$

but we're not done til we complete the square on both the x terms and the y terms (and I am assuming you know how to complete the square):

$(x^2-18x+81)+(y^2-14y+49)=495+81+49$ which simplifies to

$(x-9)^2+(y-7)^2=625$

The second choice down matches that equation, but the center they have there is not correct. The center of that circle is (9, 7) and they have it as being (7, 10) with a radius of 5. The radius is 25. The center is wrong in the equation that represents the circle as is the radius. Maybe let someone know that...

The graph of the function f(x) = (x − 3)(x + 1) is shown.

Nutka1998 [239]

Option A. All the real values of x where x < -1

Procedure
Solve the inequality:
(x -3)(x+1)>0
That happens in two cases.

1) When both factors >0
x-3>0 and x+1>0
x>3 and x >-1

The intersection is x >3

2) When both factors <0
x-3<0 and x+1<0
x<3 and x<-1

the intersection is x<-1.

We have obtained that the function is positive for the intervals x < -1 and x > 3. But in one of those intervals the function is decresing and in the other is increasing.

You can recognize that the function given is a parabola and, because the coefficient of the quadratic term is positive, the parabola opens upward. Then the function is decreasing in the first interval and increasing in the second interval.

The statement explains why the ordered pair is a solution to the system of equations. Is the statement true or false? True False

tigry1 [53]

The system of the equation doesn't give the solution at (-3, -6).

<h2>Given to us</h2>

-4x+y = 6
5x-y =21

<h3>Equation 1,</h3>

-4x+y = 6

solve for y

$-4x+y =6\\y= 6+4x$

<h3>Equation 2,</h3>

5x-y =21

substitute the value of y in equation 2,

$5x-(6+4x) =21\\5x -6 -4x =21\\5x -4x=21+6\\x = 27$

Substitute the value of x in equation 2,

$5x-y =21\\5(27)-y =21\\135-y = 21\\-y=21-135\\-y = -114\\y=114$

We can see that the solution of the two equations is at (27, 114). Also, it can be verified by plotting the line on the graph.

Hence, the system of the equation doesn't give the solution at (-3, -6).

How Do I solve this I am quite confused

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$11,714

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = 0.7x² - 462x + 87,944

this is a quadratic equation that opens up

the vertex will be the minimum

From the quadratic formula the x coordinate of the vertex is

x = -b/2a

x = 462/(2 * 0.7)

x = 330

Plug in

c(330) = 0.7(330²) - 462(330) + 87,944

c(330) = 11,714

$11,714
