According to one economic model, the demand for gasoline is a linear function of price. If the price of gasoline is p # $3.10 pe

r gallon, the quantity demanded in a fixed period of time is q - 65 gallons. If the price is $3.50 per gallon, the quantity of gasoline demanded is 45 gallons for that period.
a) Find a formula for q (demand) in terms of p (price).




b) According to this model, at what price is the gas so expensive that there is no demand.

Your first line calculation is already true but reversed. The demand will decrease (that mean the formula would be minus) by 20 gallons for every $0.4 price increase, which means 50 gallons/$. To find the formula you need to insert one sample of either the first equation (65gallon and $3.1) or 2nd equation (45 gallons and $3.5). The formula for demand should be:

q= C - 50p
65 gallon= C- 3.1 * 50 
C= 65 gallon + 155 gallon= 220 gallon

The formula would be:
q= 220- 50p

So the second question can be solved by putting 0 on the Q. It would be:
q= 220- 50p
0=220-50p
50p=220
p= $4.4

Joshua has a ladder that is 12 ft long. He wants to lean the ladder against a vertical wall so that the top of the ladder is 11.
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The ladder is not safe at this height. The height from ground to top of the ladder is < 11.6 ft for safety reasons and this can be determined by using trigonometry functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder is not safe at this height. The height from ground to top of the ladder is < 11.6 ft for safety reasons and this can be determined by using trigonometry functions.

Given :

Joshua has a ladder that is 12 ft long.

He wants to lean the ladder against a vertical wall so that the top of the ladder is 11.8 ft above the ground.

For safety reasons, he wants the angle the ladder makes with the ground to be no greater than 75°.

Check the angle that the ladder makes with the ground:

The ladder is safe when the angle the ladder makes with the ground to be no greater than 75° but  is  so, the ladder won't be safe.

To make the ladder safe, the height should not be 11.8ft.

The height from ground to top of the ladder is < 11.6 ft for safety reasons.

What is the translation from quadrilateral IJK to<br> quadrilateral I'J’K’
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The translation from triangle IJK to triangle I'J'K' is T_{(2, 6)} which is 2 units to the right and 6 units up

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of triangle JKI are;

J has coordinates (1, - 1)

K has coordinates (1, - 4)

I has coordinates (-3, - 2)

While, the coordinates of translation triangle J'K'I' are;

J' has coordinates (3, 5)

K' has coordinates (3, 2)

I' has coordinates (-1, 4)

Which give the translation as follows

Translation in the y-coordinate (y values);

For J = 5 - (-1) = 6

For K = 2 - (-4) = 6

For I = 4 - (-2) = 6

Translation in the x-coordinate (x values);

For J = 3 - 1 = 2

Therefore, the translation from triangle IJK to triangle I'J'K' is T(2, 6) which is 2 units to the right and 6 units up

PLEASE HELP DUE IN A HOUR I WILL GIVE BRAINLIST
balandron [24]

Answer: here is an example in the screenshot

it is A,B,C, or D

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given perimeter, the area will be maximized when all the sides are the same length, which makes it actually a square. A square is still a rectangle, though! So, if you know the perimeter, divide it by four to determine the length of each side. Then multiply the length times the width to get the area.

BTW U CAN USE A CALCULATOR
