Your car averages 380 miles on a 14-gallon tank of gas. you run out of gas on a deserted highway, but have a half gallon of lawn

mower gas with you. at the current rate of travel, how far will you be able to go and will you reach the nearest gas station 15 miles away?

Answer:

$13.57 \\$ miles

The car would not reach the gas station

Step-by-step explanation:

Car can travel $380\\$ mile on a $14\\$ gallon tank of gas

Distance traveled per gallon $= \frac{380}{14} \\= 27.14\\$

lawn mover gas remaining $= \frac{1}{2} \\$ gallon

Distance traveled from the remaining $\frac{1}{2}$ gallon gas

$= \frac{1}{2} * 27.14 \frac{miles}{gallon}\\= 13.57 \\$ miles only

Thus the car would not reach the gas station.

380/14= 27.14 miles per gallon
27.14/2=13.57 miles
they wont reach the gas station

n automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 37.4 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contrac

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Then z(s) is out of the acceptance region, we reject H₀, doubts of the independent testing firm are valids

Step-by-step explanation:

We will develop a Hypothesis Test ( a 2 tail test since the independent testing firm is interested in finding out if there is an incorrect MPG rating from the manufacturer

Test Hypothesis :

Null hypothesis H₀ μ = μ₀

Alternative Hypothesis Hₐ μ ≠ μ₀

Significance Level α = 0,05 α/2 = 0,025

z(c) for α/2 from z-table z(c) = - 1, 96 and by symmetry z(c) = 1,96

Calculating z(s)

z(s) = ( μ - μ₀ ) / σ /√n

z(s) = ( 37,8 - 37,4 ) / 2,3 /√280

z(s) = 0,4 * 16,73 / 2,3

z(s) = 2,90

Comparison between z(c) and z(s)

z(s) > z(c) 2,90 > 1,96

Then z(s) is out of the acceptance region, we reject H₀, doubts of the independent testing firm are valids

A tank contains 30 lb of salt dissolved in 500 gallons of water. A brine solution is pumped into the tank at a rate of 5 gal/min

Dmitry [639]

At any time $t$ (min), the volume of solution in the tank is

$500\,\mathrm{gal}+\left(5\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}-5\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)t=500\,\mathrm{gal}$

If $A(t)$ is the amount of salt in the tank at any time $t$ , then the solution has a concentration of $\dfrac{A(t)}{500}\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm gal}$ .

The net rate of change of the amount of salt in the solution, $A'(t)$ , is the difference between the amount flowing in and the amount getting pumped out:

$A'(t)=\left(5\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)\left(\left(2+\sin\dfrac t4\right)\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm gal}\right)-\left(5\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)\left(\dfrac{A(t)}{50}\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm gal}\right)$

Dropping the units and simplifying, we get the linear ODE

$A'=10+5\sin\dfrac t4-\dfrac A{10}$

$10A'+A=100+50\sin\dfrac t4$

Multiplying both sides by $e^{10t}$ allows us to identify the left side as a derivative of a product:

$10e^{10t}A'+e^{10t}A=\left(100+50\sin\dfrac t4\right)e^{10t}$

$\left(e^{10}tA\right)'=\left(100+50\sin\dfrac t4\right)e^{10t}$

$e^{10t}A=\displaystyle\int\left(100+50\sin\dfrac t4\right)e^{10t}\,\mathrm dt$

Integrate and divide both sides by $e^{10t}$ to get

$A(t)=10-\dfrac{200}{1601}\cos\dfrac t4+\dfrac{8000}{1601}\sin\dfrac t4+Ce^{-10t}$

The tanks starts off with 30 lb of salt, so $A(0)=30$ and we can solve for $C$ to get a particular solution of

$A(t)=10-\dfrac{200}{1601}\cos\dfrac t4+\dfrac{8000}{1601}\sin\dfrac t4+\dfrac{32,220}{1601}e^{-10t}$
