A) Car A travels x km for every litre of petrol while car B travels

Mathematics
1 answer:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:   16 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

A:   1l          x  km

B:   1l         x+5   km

Running 400 km   A used   400/x  litres

Running  400 km  B used  400/(x+5)  litres

400/x- 400/(x+5)= 4

400*(x+5)- x*400-4*x*(x+5)=0

400*x+2000-400*x-4*x²-20*x=0

2000-4*x²-20*x=0     difide by 4 both sides of equation

500-x²-5*x=0

Lets solve the equation using discriminant:

D=5²-(-1)*4*500=2025

sqrt(D)=45

x1= (5+45)/(-2)= -25          x2=(5-45)/(-2)=20

x1=-25     x2=20

x1<0 so is not the solution of the problem ( number of litres can't  be negative)

So A uses  litr per x=20 km     and B uses 1 litr per 20+5=25 km

Running 400 km B uses 400/25=16 litres

A bag contains four red marbles, two green ones, one lavender one, three yellows, and one orange marble. HINT (See Example 7.] H
Murljashka [212]

Answer:  35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A bag contains four red marbles, two green ones, one lavender one, three yellows, and one orange marble.

Total = 4+2+1+3+1=11

To find sets of four marbles include none of the red ones, we need to exclude red marbles when we count the total number of marbles.

Then, the total marbles(exclude red) =11-4=7

Now, the combination of 7 marbles taking 4 at a time is given by :-

^7C_4=\dfrac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!3!}=35

Hence, the number of sets of four marbles include none of the red ones = 35

A set has 62 proper subsets how many elements has it for?<br>​
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of subsets is given as

{2}^{n}

But the subset of a set consists of the proper subsets, an empty set and the set itself.

Total number of subsets are 64

Therefore,

{2}^{n}  = 64

{2}^{n}  =  {2}^{6}

Comparing both sides

n = 6

Given the data below:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

5.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since after x=3, value of y starts decreasing for increasing values of x, let's choose. Also we need to find f(x) for x=3.4

x=3,4,5 and f(x)=7,3,1 to find lagrange polynomial

P(x)= ((x-x2)(x-x3)y1)/((x1-x2)(x1-x3) + ((x-x1)(x-x3)y2)/((x2-x1)(x2-x3) + ((x-x1)(x-x2)y3)/((x3-x1)(x3-x2)

P(x)= ((x-4)(x-5)7)/((3-4)(3-5)) + ((x-3)(x-5)3)/((4-3)(4-5)) + ((x-3)(x-4)1)/((5-3)(5-4))

P(x)= x² -11x+31

P(3.4)= 5.16
