558 gallons are used when the car has been driven 18 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data, it can be determined that :

The number of gallons for 2 miles = 62 gallons
The number of gallons for 4 miles = 124 gallons
The number of gallons for 10 miles = 310 gallons

Let, the number of gallons for 18 miles = 'x' gallons

To find x :

compare the given data with the unknown data,

62 gallons / 2 miles = x gallons / 18 miles

keep x alone on one side,

x = (62×18) / 2

x = 31×18

x = 558 gallons

Therefore, 558 gallons are used to drive 18 miles.

For the equation -4y = 8x whay is the constant of variation

Ierofanga [76]

If you divide both sides by -4 you get

$y=-2x$

So, you wrote the equation in the form y=kx, and in this form k is the constant of variation. So, the constant is -2.

Factor completely 4x4 − 24x3 + 36x2.

ipn [44]

The previous answer from another person got deleted, so I'm here to put it back in my own words.

(Edit: The answer is A)

First of all, you can take 4 out of each, so simplify everything by 4.

4(x^4 - 6x^3 + 9x^2)

Next, you can see that you're able to take out x^2

4x^2(x^2 - 6x + 9)

You can see that both x^2 and 9 are perfect squares, meaning you can crunch them together like this

(x+3)^2 or (x-3)^2

Of course, only one would work, and as fate has it, (x-3)^ produces x^2 - 6x + 9

This would turn the now factored equation into :

4x^2(x-3)^2 or 4x^2(x-3)(x-3), this means the answer is A

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of ibuprofen tablets and uses an acceptance sampling plan. This plan randomly

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

0.7208 = 72.08% probability that this whole shipment will be accepted.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each tablet, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it meets the required specifications, or it does not. The probability of a tablet meeting the required specifications is independent of any other tablet, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
