Answer:

Cory bought 6.47 gallons

rate of change is $2.78 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of gas per gallon = $2.78

it means that if one buy 1 gallon he will have to pay $2.78 and similary for each increase in 1 gallon of gallon gas he will have to pay $2.78.

Thus, rate of change is cost of gas per gallon as cost to buy gas changes with the change in quantity of gallon.

Let the quantity of gas bought be x gallon.

Total cost for x gallons = cost of gas per gallon*x = 2.78x

Given that total money paid by him is $18

2.78x = 18

x = 18/2.78 = 6.47

Thus, Cory bought 6.47 gallons

rate of change is $2.78 per gallon

Okay, so the first thing we have to do is take 6ft and convert it into inches so we get the equation (6x12)+6 6 times 12 is 72 so that gives us 72in plus 6 which is 78 and with that answer we take 78in and divide it by 6.17 which is 12.18. She has a long arm measuring i while feet and 18 inches lol

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

\vec l = (-4, 11) + t\cdot (-3,8), x = -4 - 3\cdot t and y = 11 + 8\cdot t

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector equation of the line is:

\vec l = \vec P + t \cdot \vec A

\vec l = (-4, 11) + t\cdot (-3,8)

The parametric equations of the line are:

x = -4 - 3\cdot t and y = 11 + 8\cdot t
