Answer:

<h2>14mph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the gas mileage for a certain vehicle modeled by the equation m=−0.05x²+3.5x−49 where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. In order to determine the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg, we will substitute the value of m = 9 into the modeled equation and calculate x as shown;

m = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

when m= 9

9 = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

−0.05x²+3.5x−49 = 9

0.05x²-3.5x+49 = -9

Multiplying through by 100

5x²+350x−4900 = 900

Dividing through by 5;

x²+70x−980 = 180

x²+70x−980 - 180 = 0

x²+70x−1160 = 0

Using the general formula to get x;

a = 1, b = 70, c = -1160

x = -70±√70²-4(1)(-1160)/2

x = -70±√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±(√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±√9540/2

x =  -70±97.7/2

x = -70+97.7/2

x = 27.7/2

x = 13.85mph

x ≈ 14 mph

Hence, the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg to the nearest mph is 14mph

What is the value of f(g(-3)?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

f(x) + g(x) = (-2x + 8)+ 3x

f(x) + g(x) = -2x + 8 + 3x   Combine like terms.

f(x) + g(x) = x + 8        

f(x) + g(x) = (f+g)(x) = x + 8

(f + g)(-1) = -1 + 8

(f + g)(-1) = 7

sergeinik [125]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations:

Quantity:: d = n + 3

Value::: 10n + 5d = 615 cents

-------------------------------------------

Modify::

d - n = 3

d + 2n = 123

--------------------------------------------

Subtract and solve for "n"::

3n = 120

n = 40 (# of nickels)

d = n+3 = 43 (# of dimes)
