How do you divide decimals?

i put 12 gallons of gas in my car. each gallon was $5.15. there was also 9% tax. what was the total i paid?

wariber [46]

Steps:
5.15*1.09*12 = total

5.6135*12 = total

$67.36= total

Answer: $67.36

Find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in t

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + 2y + 3z = 12$

$z=\frac{12-x-2y}{3}$

Volume = $V=f(x,y) = xy(\frac{12-x-2y}{3} )$

find partial derivatives using product rule

$f_x =\frac{y}{3} (12-2x-2y)\\f_y = \frac{x}{3} (12-x-4y)$

i.e.

Using maximum for partial derivatives, we equate first partial derivative to 0.

y=0 or x+y =6

x=0 or x+4y =12

Simplify to get y =2, x = 4

thus critical points are (4,2) (6,0) (0,3)

Of these D the II derivative test gives

D<0 only for (4,2)

Hence maximum volume is when x=4, y=2, z= 4/3

Max volume is = 4(2)(4/3) = 32/3

You are given a line that has a slope of 4 and passed through the point (3/8, 1/2). Which statements about the question of the l

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Statement 1, 2 and 4 are true where as statement 3 is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1: The y-intercept is -1

Point (3/8, 1/2)

Slope = m = 4

y = mx + c

1/2 = 4(3/8) + c

1/2 = 3/2 + c

1/2 = 3/2 + 2c/2

-2 = 2c

c = -1

This statement is true as the y-intercept is -1.

Statement 2: The slope intercept equation is y= 4x - 1

slope = m = 4

y-intercept = c = -1

y = mx + c

y = 4x - 1

This statement is true as the slope intercept equation is y= 4x -1

Statement 3: The point slope equation is y - 3/8 = 4 (x - 1/2)

Point slope equation: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Points: (x, y) (3/8, 1/2)

y1 = 1/2

x1 = 3/8

Slope = m = 4

y - 1/2 = 4 (x - 3/8)

This statement is not true as the slope intercept equation is y - 1/2 = 4 (x - 3/8) instead of y - 3/8 = 4 (x - 1/2).

Statement 4: The point (3/8, 1/2) corresponds to (x1, y1) in the point slope form of the equation

This statement is true as shown in statement 3's explanation where x1 = 3/8 and y1 = 1/2

If f(x)f(x) is an exponential function where f(-1)=5f(−1)=5 and f(7)=32f(7)=32, then find the value of f(4)f(4), to the nearest

Whitepunk [10]

Using an exponential function, it is found that the value of the function when x = 4 is of f(4) = 15.95.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

It is modeled by:

$y = ab^x$

In which:

a is the initial value.

b is the rate of change, as a decimal.

In this problem, we have that f(-1)=5, hence:

$5 = ab^{-1}$

$\frac{a}{b} = 5$

a = 5b

We also have that f(7)=32, hence:

$32 = ab^7$

Since a = 5b:

$5b^8 = 32$

$b = \sqrt[8]{\frac{32}{5}}$

b = 1.2612.

a = 5b = 5 x 1.2612 = 6.306.

Hence the function is given by:

$y = 6.306(1.2612)^x$

Then, when x = 4, we have that:

$y = 6.306(1.2612)^4 = 15.95$
