Mathematics
1 answer:
malfutka [58]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: 9 gallons

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Set up the proportion, then multiply to solve for the variable.

\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}\ \text{gallon}}{4\ \text{pints}}=\dfrac{x}{72\ \text{pints}}

(72\ \text{pints})\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}\ \text{gallon}}{4\ \text{pints}}=(72\ \text{pints)}\dfrac{x}{72\ \text{pints}}

\dfrac{36\ \text{gallons}}{4}=x}

9 gallons = x

I played 5 hours of video games over a 3 day weekend, and 60 hours of video games in the month
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The ratios are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

First, in order to find the ratios, we have to change the month to the amount of days.

There are 30 days in April, so we will use this for the ratio.

The ratio for the 3 day weekend is 5:3

The ratio for the month of April is 60:30, which can be simplified to 2:1

So, the ratios are not equivalent, because 5:3 is not equal to 2:1

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is –12 and the ninth
shtirl [24]

Answer:

d = \frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₉ = 16 , then

- 12 + 8d = 16 ( add 12 to both sides )

8d = 28 ( divide both sides by 8 )

d = \frac{28}{8} = \frac{7}{2}

Find the equation of the tangent line. y=(x^2+x-2)^2 at (-1,4)​
Keith_Richards [23]

Compute the derivative of <em>y</em> = (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2)² using the chain rule:

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2 (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2) d/d<em>x</em> [<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2]

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2 (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2) (2<em>x</em> + 1)

Evaluate the derivative at <em>x</em> = -1 :

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> (-1) = 2 ((-1)² + (-1) - 2) (2 (-1) + 1) = 4

This is the slope of the tangent line to the function at (-1, 4).

Use the point-slope formula to get the equation for the tangent line:

<em>y</em> - 4 = 4 (<em>x</em> - (-1))   →   <em>y</em> = 4<em>x</em> + 8
