Answer:

m=25g  direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In this problem

Let

m------> the number of miles traveled

g------> the number of gallons used

we have that

\frac{125}{5}\frac{miles}{gallons}=25\frac{miles}{gallons}

\frac{175}{7}\frac{miles}{gallons}=25\frac{miles}{gallons}

The linear direct variation that represent the situation is equal to the equation

\frac{m}{g}=k  or m=kg

where

k is the constant of proportionality

In a direct variation the constant k is equal to the slope m of the line, and the line passes through the origin

k=25\frac{miles}{gallons}

substitute

m=kg -------> m=25g

First find out how much in that one week, the amount of miles per gallon

125/5 = 25, or 25 mpg

Find out how much for the next week

175/7 = 25, or 25 mpg

Note: 
g = gallons
m = miles

you're equation will be:
m = 25(g)

For every gallon (g), you multiply it by 25 to get miles (m).


hope this helps

Jenn invests $2150 at 2% compounded continuously. How many years will it take her to accumulate $2733.19 in the account?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

From the formula;

A = P(1 + r)^n

A = Amount  = $2733.19

P = Principal = $2150

r = rate = 2%

n = time in years = ???

2733.19 = 2150(1 + 0.02)^n

2733.19/2150 = (1 + 0.02)^n

1.27 = (1.02)^n

Taking logarithm of both sides

log 1.27 = n log 1.02

n= log 1.27/log 1.02

n= 0.1038/0.0086

n = 12 years

What are the domain and range for the exponential function f(x)=ab^x , where b is a positive real number not equal to 1 and a &g
motikmotik

Answer: Domain (-∞,∞) ; range: (0,∞)


Step-by-step explanation:

1. The exponential functions with the form f(x)=ab^{x} has domain of all real numbers, becaure there is no values in the set of real number for which the value of x is not define. When x approches to ∞, the function approches to ∞.

2. When x approches to -∞, the function approches to 0 but never touches it. This means  that y is always greater than zero (y>0). Therefore, the range of the function is (0,∞).
