Answer: 278.30 pounds (if the gasoline does not contain ethanol)

317.12 pounds (if the gasoline does contain ethanol)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the truck averages 12 miles per gallon, then in 170 miles it consumes:

170mi/12mi = 14.17 gallons.

We know that for one gallon consumed, the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is 19.64 pounds. (assuming it does not contain ethanol)

Then for 14.17 gallons consumed, we have a emission of:

14.17*19.64 pounds = 278.30 pounds

I the gasoline contains ethanlol, for a gallon the emiision is around  22.38 pounds.

In this case the total emission is:

14.17*22.38 pounds = 317.12 pounds

Vertex of x^2-10x+30
Shtirlitz [24]

The easiest way to find the vertex is to convert this standard form equation into vertex form, which is y = a(x - h)^2 + k.

Firstly, put x^2 - 10x into parentheses: y = (x^2 - 10x) + 30

Next, we want to make what's inside the parentheses a perfect square. To do that, we need to divide the x coefficient by 2 and square it. In this case, the result is 25. Add 25 inside the parentheses and subtract 25 outside of the parentheses: y = (x^2 - 10x + 25) + 30 - 25

Next, factor what's inside the parentheses and combine like terms outside of the parentheses, and your vertex form is: y = (x - 5)^2 + 5.

Now going back to the formula of the vertex form, y = a(x - h)^2 + k, the vertex is (h,k). Using our vertex equation, we can see that the vertex is (5,5).
