Answer:

$29.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Lou's car had a tank of capacity 13 gallons which were 5.1 gallons filled on the coldest day of the year.

So, the remaining unfilled capacity of the tank is (13- 5.1) =7.9 gallons.

Now, this volume of the tank is to be filled with gas that costs $3.70 per gallons.

Therefore, Lou has to spend (7.9 × 3.70) = $29.23 on gas. (Answer)

What is the least common multiple? (6 and 12)

quester [9]

Answer:Least common multiple ( LCM ) of 6 and 12 is 12. LCM(6,12) = 12. Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in two way; with the LCM formula calculation of greatest common factor (GCF), or multiplying the prime factors with the highest exponent factor.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

(a) 100 fishes

(b) t = 10: 483 fishes

t = 20: 999 fishes

t = 30: 1168 fishes

(c)

$P(\infty) = 1200$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P(t) =\frac{d}{1+ke^-{ct}}$

$d = 1200\\k = 11\\c=0.2$

Solving (a): Fishes at t = 0

This gives:

$P(0) =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{0.2*0}}$

$P(0) =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{0}}$

$P(0) =\frac{1200}{1+11*1}$

$P(0) =\frac{1200}{1+11}$

$P(0) =\frac{1200}{12}$

$P(0) = 100$

Solving (a): Fishes at t = 10, 20, 30

$t = 10$

$P(10) =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{0.2*10}} =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{2}}\\\\P(10) =\frac{1200}{1+11*0.135}=\frac{1200}{2.485}\\\\P(10) =483$

$t = 20$

$P(20) =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{0.2*20}} =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{4}}\\\\P(20) =\frac{1200}{1+11*0.0183}=\frac{1200}{1.2013}\\\\P(20) =999$

$t = 30$

$P(30) =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{0.2*30}} =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{6}}\\\\P(30) =\frac{1200}{1+11*0.00247}=\frac{1200}{1.0273}\\\\P(30) =1168$

Solving (c): $\lim_{t \to \infty} P(t)$

In (b) above.

Notice that as t increases from 10 to 20 to 30, the values of $e^{-ct}$ decreases

This implies that:

${t \to \infty} = {e^{-ct} \to 0}$

So:

The value of P(t) for large values is:

$P(\infty) = \frac{1200}{1 + 11 * 0}$

$P(\infty) = \frac{1200}{1 + 0}$

$P(\infty) = \frac{1200}{1}$

$P(\infty) = 1200$
