A tourist purchases a car in england and ships it home to the united states. the car sticker advertised that the car's fuel cons

umption was at the rate of 40 miles per gallon on the open road. the tourist does not realize that the u.k. gallon differs from the u.s. gallon: 1 u.k. gallon = 4.545 963 1 liters 1 u.s. gallon = 3.785 306 0 liters for a trip of 738 miles (in the united states), how many gallons of fuel does (a) the mistaken tourist believe she needs and (b) the car actually require?

<u>Solution-</u>

Fuel consumption rate = 40 miles per UK gallon (As the car is manufactured in UK)

1 UK gallon = 4.5459631 lit

1 US gallon = 3.7853060 lit

\therefore \frac{1 \ UK \ gallon}{1 \ US \ gallon} = \frac{4.5459631}{3.7853060} = 1.2009499

\Rightarrow 1 \ UK \ gallon = 1.2009499 \ US \ gallon

As the fuel consumption rate = 40 miles per gallon

⇒ You need 1 UK gallon of fuel to go 40 miles

⇒ You need 1.2009499 US gallon of fuel to go 40 miles

Or you can say that, to go 40 miles you need 1.2009499 US gallon of fuel

⇒ To go 1 mile you will need  \frac{1.2009499}{40} = 0.0300237

⇒ To go 738 miles you will need 0.0300237×738 = 22.1574906 US gallon of fuel

∴ 22.1574906 gallon of fuel is actually required.

∴ But, what she thinks will require is \frac{738}{40} = 18.45 gallons (As she calculated using UK gallons)

Use the graph of the function y = 4x to answer the following questions.
Sav [38]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

For y = 4x, the domain of the function is all real numbers. This can be indicated  as ( -infinity, infinity),

...later part of question:...

..."because an exponent can be any real"

exponent?   !!!

Did you mean y = 4^x ? In this case the domain of y is all real numbers ann the range is (0, infinity), where the value 0 is not included in the range.

Thank you,

MrB

A rectangular box without a lid is to be made from 48 m2 of cardboard. Find the maximum volume of such a box. SOLUTION We let x,
tatiyna

Answer:

The maximum volume of such box is 32m^3

V = x×y×z = 32 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total surface area S = 48m^2

Volume of a rectangular box V = length×width×height

V = xyz ......1

Total surface area of a rectangular box without a lid is

S = xy + 2xz + 2yz = 48 .....2

To be able to maximize the volume, we need to reduce the number of variables.

Let assume the rectangular box has a square base,that means; length = width

x = y

Substituting y with x in equation 1 and 2;

V = x^2(z) ....3

x^2 + 4xz = 48 .....4

Making z the subject of formula in equation 4

4xz = 48 - x^2

z = (48 - x^2)/4x .......5

To be able to maximize V, we need to reduce the number of variables to 1, by substituting equation 5 into equation 3

V = x^2 × (48 - x^2)/4x

V = (48x - x^3)/4

differentiating V with respect to x;

V' = (48 - 3x^2)/4

At the maximum point V' = 0

V' = (48 - 3x^2)/4 = 0

Solving for x;

3x^2 = 48

x = √(48/3)

x = √(16)

x = 4

Since x = y

y = 4

From equation 5;

z = (48 - x^2)/4x

z = (48 - 4^2)/4(4)

z = 32/16

z = 2

The maximum volume can be derived by substituting x,y,z into equation 1;

V = xyz = 4×4×2 = 32 m^3
