David should buy Car A because it covers more miles in one gallon than Car B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance traveled by Car A = d_A = 702\ miles

Gallons used by Car A = g_A = 12

Distance traveled by Car B = d_B = 873\ miles

Gallons used by Car B = g_B = 15

In order to find the distance traveled on one gallon, we will divide the total distance by number of gallons

So,

Distance traveled by Car A in one gallon = \frac{702}{12} =58.5\ miles\ per\ gallon

Distance traveled by Car B in one gallon = \frac{873}{15} = 58.2\ miles\ per\ gallon

We can see that Car A travels more distance in one gallon that is 58.5 miles per gallon

So,

David should buy Car A because it covers more miles in one gallon than Car B

Limit of x^2-81/x+9<br> As x goes toward -9
Semmy [17]
Hello,

Use the factoration

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)

Then,

x^2 - 81 = x^2 - 9^2

x^2 - 9^2 = ( x - 9).(x + 9)

Then,

Lim (x^2- 81) /(x+9)

= Lim (x -9)(x+9)/(x+9)

Simplity x + 9

Lim (x -9)

Now replace x = -9

Lim ( -9 -9)

Lim -18 = -18
_______________

The second method without using factorization would be to calculate the limit by the hospital rule.

Lim f(x)/g(x) = lim f(x)'/g(x)'

Where,

f(x)' and g(x)' are the derivates.

Let f(x) = x^2 -81

f(x)' = 2x + 0
f(x)' = 2x

Let g(x) = x +9

g(x)' = 1 + 0
g(x)' = 1

Then the Lim stay:

Lim (x^2 -81)/(x+9) = Lim 2x /1

Now replace x = -9

Lim 2×-9 = Lim -18

= -18

Finding Side Lengths
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

  • x = 2.5
  • y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

As the two figure are the image and pre-image of a dilation.

Considering the left sided triangle is original and right sided triangle ( smaller one) is the image.

As one of the sides of the left triangle (original figure) is 4 in. And the corresponding length of the side on the right triangle (image of the figure) is 2 in.

It means the image of the side (2 in) is obtained when the side (4 in) of the original object is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. In other words, the side of the image (2 in) is obtained multiplying the side (4 in) of original figure by 1/2. i.e. 4/2 = 2 in

Lets determine the missing side of the right side triangle by the same rule.

As the original object has one of the sides is 5 in and the corresponding side of the image has x in. As the original figure is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. so the missing side of x will be: x = 5/2 = 2.5

So, the value of x will be 2.5

Similarly, the original object has one of the sides with length (y + 1 in). As the As the original figure is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. As the corresponding length of the side of the image triangle is 3 in.

so

y + 1 = 2(3)         ∵ 3 in (image side) is multiplied by 2

y + 1 = 6

y = 6 - 1

y = 5

So, the value of y = 5

Therefore,

  • x = 2.5
  • y = 5
