Answer:

6½ gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Givem the cost of 1gallon of gas = $2.78. . If Cory buys $18 of gas, we are to find the number of gallons did he buy. To do that we will use the equality method as shown;

$2.78 ,= 1gallon

$18 = x gallon

Cross multiply

2.78 × x = 1×18

2.78x = 18

Divide through by 2.78

2.78x/2.78 = 18/2.78

.x = 6.5

Hence Cory buys about 6½ gallons of gas for $18

The equation of a parabola is y=x2+6x+9. Write the equation in vertex form.
nignag [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form is accomplished by completing the square on the quadratic. Do this by first setting the parabola equal to 0 then moving the constant over to the other side:

x^2+6x=-9

Now take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3, and 3 squared is 9:

x^2+6x+9=-9+9

The reason we do this is to create a perfect square binomial on the left:

(x+3)^2=0 (obviously the 0 results from the addition of 9 and -9). Move the 0 back over to the other side and set the quadratic back equal to y:

(x+3)^2+0=y

This gives you a vertex of (-3, 0), which is a minimum value, since the parabola opens upwards.

Ali surveyed 200 students at a school and recorded the eye color and the gender of each student. of the 80 male students who wer
Aloiza [94]
Total number of students surveyed = 200
Number of male students = 80
Number of female students = 200 - 80 = 120

Number of brown eyed male students = 60
Probability of a brown eyed male student = 60 / 80 = 0.75.

Since, <span>eye color and gender are independent, this means that eye color is not affected by the gender. Thus, we expect a similar probability of brown eye for female as we had for male.

Let the number expected of brown eyed females be x, then x / 120 = 0.75.

Thus, x = 120(0.75) = 90.

Therefore, the number female students surveyed expected to be brown eyed is 90.</span>

Ex 2.8<br> 3. find the maximum value of y for the curve y=x^5 -3 for -2≤x≤1
harkovskaia [24]
y=x^5-3\\ y'=5x^4\\\\ 5x^4=0\\ x=0\\ 0\in [-2,1]\\\\ y''=20x^3\\\\&#10;y''(0)=20\cdot0^3=0

The value of the second derivative for x=0 is neither positive nor negative, so you can't tell whether this point is a minimum or a maximum. You need to check the values of the first derivative around the point.
But the value of 5x^4 is always positive for x\in\mathbb{R}\setminus \{0\}. That means at x=0 there's neither minimum nor maximum.
The maximum must be then at either of the endpoints of the interval [-2,1].
The function y is increasing in its entire domain, so the maximum value is at the right endpoint of the interval.

y_{max}=y(1)=1^5-3=-2
