PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a

fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1450 miles, for a total gas consumption of 50 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

Answer:

The answer to your question is car 1 = 30 gal and car 1 = 20 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

car 1 = a

car 2 = b

Efficiency of car 1 = 35 mi/gal

Efficiency for car 2 = 20 mi/gal

Total distance = 1450

Total gas consumption = 50 gal

Equations

                          35a + 20b = 1450            ------- (I)

                             a   +     b =  50               ------- (II)

Solve by elimination

Multiply equation II by -35

                          35a  + 20b  = 1450

                         -35a  - 35b   = -1750

Simplify

                            0    - 15b    =  -300

Solve for b

                                        b =  -300/-15

Result

                                        b = 20

Substitute b in equation II to find a

                               a +  20  = 50

Solve for a

                               a  = 50 -20

Result

                               a  = 30

Convert -1 1/4 into a decimal
makkiz [27]

-1 1/4 as a decimal would be -1.25.

Since -1 is a whole number we would just write that as -1. 1/4 as a decimal is .25.

What is the image of A under the translation described by the translation rule (x, y)--->(x + 4, y - 10)?
Mademuasel [1]

Translation rule (x, y)--->(x + 4, y - 10)

Object A = (5, 6)

Apply rule:

(5, 6)---->(5 + 4, 6 - 10) = (9, -4)

Image A' = (9, -4)

Option 3: (9, -4) is the answer

Dada la ecuacion 25x2 + 4y2 = 100, determina las coordenadas de los vertices, focos, las longitudes de los respectivos ejes mayo
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The given equation is

25x^{2} +4y^{2}=100

Which represents an elipse.

To find its elements, we need to divide the equation by 100

\frac{25x^{2} +4y^{2} }{100} =\frac{100}{100} \\\frac{x^{2} }{4} +\frac{y^{2} }{25} =1

Where a^{2} =25 and b^{2}=4. Remember that the greatest denominator is a, and the least is b. So, we extract the square root on each equation.

a=5 and b=2.

In a elipse, we have a major axis and a minor axis. In this case, the major axis is vertical and the minor axis is horizontal, that means this is a vertical elipse.

The length of the major axis is 2a=2(5)=10.

The length of the minor axis is 2b=2(2)=4.

The vertices are (0,5);(0,-5) and (2,0);(-2,0).

Now, the main parameters of an elipse are related by

a^{2}=b^{2} +c^{2}, which we are gonna use to find c, the parameter of the focus.

c=\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2} }=\sqrt{25-4}=\sqrt{21}

So, the coordinates of each focus are (0,\sqrt{21}) and (0,-\sqrt{21})

The eccentricity of a elipse is defined

e=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{\sqrt{21} }{5}  \approx 0.92

The latus rectum is defined

L=\frac{2b^{2} }{a}=\frac{2(4)}{5} =\frac{8}{5} \approx 1.6

Finally, the graph of the elipse is attached.
