Answer:

24.43225 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a function to know the fuel economy of a car, f(s)=-0.009s²+0.669s+12.

We need to find the first derivative to get the maximums of the function.

Derivative (formulas on the attached file):

f'(s)=-0.018s + 0.669 +0

Having the first derivative we can make the function equal to 0 to get the maimum number of s, <em>the maximum is when the slope of the tangent is 0 (attached in as a graphic).</em>

-0.018s+0.669=0

We solve:

-0.018s = -0.669

s= -0.669/-0.018

s= 223/6 miles/hour

Now we are going to substitute the optimal s in the original function to get the maximum fuel economy of the car:

f(s)= -0.009(223/6)² + 0.669(223/6) + 12

f(s)= -0.009(1381.3611) + 24.8645 + 12

f(s)= -12.432249 + 36.8645

f(s)= 24.43225 miles per gallon.

Answer:

The maximum fuel economy of the car is 25.57225

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

f(s)=-0.009s^2+0.699s+12

where

where s represents the average speed of the car, measured in miles per hour

So, we have to maximize f(s)

So, firstly we will find derivative

f'(s)=-0.009*2s+0.699*1+0

f'(s)=-0.018s+0.699

now, we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for s

f'(s)=-0.018s+0.699=0

s=\frac{233}{6}

To find maximum fuel economy , we can plug s into f(s)

f(\frac{233}{6})=-0.009(\frac{233}{6})^2+0.699(\frac{233}{6})+12

f(\frac{233}{6})=25.57225

So,

The maximum fuel economy of the car is 25.57225

A circle is centered at the point (7,1) and passes through the point (8,7). what is the radius
Scorpion4ik [409]
Easy

the radius is the distance from the center to a point on the circle

we are given
center=(7,1)
 a point=(8,7)
find the distance
distance formula
D=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

so the distance between point and center is radius
D=\sqrt{(8-7)^2+(7-1)^2}
D=\sqrt{(1)^2+(6)^2}
D=\sqrt{1+36}
D=√37 units


radius is √37 units

nadezda [96]

Answer:

8) scale factor: 3

angles Q & L, S & N, r & M

sides 10 x 3 = 30, 6 x 3 = 18, 13 x 3 = 39

9) scale factor: 0.4

angles B & F, C & G, D & H, A & E

sides 9 x 0.4 = 3.6, 7.5 x 0.4 = 3, 10 x 0.4 = 4, 12 x 0.4 = 4.8
