A gas station has a cylindrical fueling tank that holds the gasoline for its pumps, as modeled below. The tank holds a maximum o

f 20,000 gallons of gasoline and has a length of 34.5 feet.
A metal pole is used to measure how much gas is in the tank.

To the nearest tenth of a foot, how long does the pole need to be in order to reach the bottom of the tank and still extend one foot outside the tank?

[1 ft^3=7.48 gallons ]

Answer:

\boxed{ \text{10.9 ft}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

V = πr²h

Data:

V = 20 000 gal

h = 34.5 ft

Calculations:

I assume the gasoline tank is lying on its side, so we are asked to find the diameter of the tank.

(a) Convert the volume to cubic feet

V= 20 000 gal × (1 ft³/7.48 gal) = 2674 ft³

(b) Calculate the radius of the tank

V = πr²h

r² = V/(πh) = 2674/(π × 34.5) = 24.67 ft²

r = √24.67 = 4.967 ft

(c) Calculate the diameter of the tank

d = 2r = 9.934 ft

(d) Calculate the length of the measuring pole

l = d + 1 = 9.934 + 1 = \boxed{ \textbf{10.9 ft}}

The ratio X/Y for the fictitious company, Teslala, that produces a single type of electronic vehicle, Model Z is 10/pY.

<h3>What is a mathematical model?</h3>

A mathematical model is the model which is used to explain the any system, the effect of the components by study and estimate the functions of systems.

Consider a fictitious company, Teslala, that produces a single type of electronic vehicle, Model Z.

The demand for Model Z depends on the gasoline price (q) because customers tend to purchase an electronic vehicle as a substitute for vehicles that run on gasoline when the gasoline price increases.

The demand for Model Z is estimated as

D(p) = 180 + 10q - 4p

Here, <em>p</em> is the price of Model Z.

Consider the following two statements:

  • 1. When the average gasoline price q increases by $1, the revenue-maximizing price p" increases by $X.

D(p) = 180 + 10q - 4p\\D(p) = 180 + 10(q+1) - 4(p+X)

  • 2. When the average gasoline price q increases by $1, the demand at the revenue-maximizing price (i.e., D(p*)) increases by a factor of Y.

D(p)+Y = 180 + 10q - 4p\\(D(p)+Y) = 180 + 10(q+1) - 4(p+X)\\Y= 180 + 10(q+1) - 4(p+X)-D(p)\\

Put the value of demand at the revenue-maximizing price as,

Y= 180 + 10(q+1) - 4(p+X)-(180 + 10q - 4p)\\Y= 180 + 10q+10 - 4p-pX-180 - 10q + 4p\\Y= 10 -pX\\1=\dfrac{10}{Y}-\dfrac{pX}{Y}\\\dfrac{10}{Y}=\dfrac{pX}{Y}\\\dfrac{10}{pY}=\dfrac{X}{Y}

Thus, the ratio X/Y for the fictitious company, Teslala, that produces a single type of electronic vehicle, Model Z is 10/pY.
