The answer is <span>$103.
To determine </span><span> how much Eileen will spend on gasoline, first we need to calculate how many gallons she needs.
If she drives 850 miles and </span><span>her car gets 23 miles per gallon, we can use the proportion:
850 miles : x gallons = 23 miles : 1 gallon
Crossing the products:
x = 850 miles </span>× 1 gallon ÷ 23 miles
x = 36.96 gallons
Thus, Eileen needs 36.96 gallons of gas. If the cost per gallon of gas is$2.79, using the proportion:
36.96 gallons : x = 1 gallon : <span>$2.79
x = 36.96 gallons </span>× $2.79 <span>÷ 1 gallon
x = </span>$103.12
x ≈ $<span>103</span>
According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the number of roots of a polynomial is equal to the degree of the polynomial. The degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent of a term in the polynomial.
Looking at the function, the term with the highest exponent is 8x7. The exponent is 7; therefore, the function has 7 roots.
Answer:
y = -0.25x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
You can either just read off the slope m = -0.25 and the intersection with the vertical n = -6 or you form a system of equations from points you choose on the graph. For example:
(0,-6);(4,-7)
The general equation for a line:
y = m*x + n
The two points on the graph form a system of two equations:
1. -6 = m*0 + n
2. -7 = m*4 + n
You can read off n right away fro equation 1:
n = -6
Plugging n into equation 2:
-7 = m*4 - 6 => -1 = m*4 => m = -1/4
Answer:
One pair of socks is $370.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sean bought <em>three pairs</em> of the same socks and a shoe polish for $1450. If the
polish cost $340, how much is the cost of <em>one pair</em> of socks.
6x - 340 = 1450
6x = 1450 -340
6x = 1110
2x = 1110 / 3
2x = 370
