The highway mileage m in miles per gallon for a compact car is approximated by m(s) = -0.025s2 + 2.45s - 30, where s is the spee

d in miles per hour. What is the maximum mileage for this compact car to the nearest tenth of a mile per gallon?

Highest mileage
m(s) = -0.025s2 + 2.45s - 30
This quadratic equation lokks like a upside down parabolla
So as it is a form of mileage gunction of speed, its maximum value should be K

The "a" in the vertex form "<span>y = a(x – h)2 + k</span>" of the quadratic is the same as the "a" in the common form of the quadratic equation, "<span>y = ax2 + bx + c</span><span>".
</span>

<span>To find the vertex, I look at the coefficients a<span>, </span>b<span>, and </span>c. The formula for the vertex gives me:<span>Y= -0.025s2 + 2.45s - 30
</span><span>h = <span>–b</span>/<span>2a</span> =  -2.45/2× -0.025=49</span><span>Put value of h to get K</span><span>k=-0.025(49)^2+2.45×(49)-30</span><span>k=  -30.025</span><span>k=  -</span>30.0<span>
</span></span>

Triangles ABC and ADE are similar triangles. That means the sides are all scaled by the same factor.

To go from side BC to side DE, you multiply by 1.25. That means 1.25 is your scale factor. Now apply that factor to the bottom side to get your answer.

Side AB is 6. That means side AD is 6 x 1.25 = 7.5. That means x = 7.5 - 6 = 1.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you gotta work out the hypotenuse of ABC, which is AC.

To do that, you need to figure out the scale factor between the two right-angled triangles. You can do that for this question because this is a similar shapes question.

12.5/5 = 2.5

The scale factor length between the two triangles is 2.5.

You can use 2.5 now to work out AC, so AC would be 13 x 2.5, which gives 32.5.

Now that you've got the hypotenuse and BC of ABC, you can use Pythagoras's theorem to work out the length of AB

Pythagoras's theorem = a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = BC = 12.5

b = AB = we need to work this out

c = AC (the hypotenuse we just worked out) = 32.5

12.5^2 + b^2 = 32.5^2 Let's both simplify and rearrange this at the same time so that we have our b on one side.

b^{2} = 1056.25 - 156.25

b = \sqrt{(1056.25 - 156.25)}

b = \sqrt{900}

b = AB = 30  We've found b or AB, now we can work out the perimeter of ABC.

Perimeter of ABC = AB + BC + AC

= 30 + 12.5 + 32.5

= 75  Here's the perimeter for ABC.
