Cassie is traveling 675 miles today to visit her brother and his family. So far, she has stopped for gas three times. At the fir

st stop, she put in 7.1 gallons of gas and paid $23.79. At her second stop, she put in 5.8 gallons of gas and paid $19.08. And, at the third stop, 6.6 gallons and paid $20.39. At which stop did Casey pay the most for gas?

Answer: She paid the most for the gas in the first stop ($3.35 per gallon).


Step-by-step explanation:

1. At the first stop she put in 7.1 gallons of gas and paid $23.79, so she paid:

$23.79/7.1 gallons=$3.35 per gallon.

2.  At her second stop she put in 5.8 gallons of gas and paid $19.08, then the price per gallon was:

$19.08/5.8 gallons= $3.28 per gallon.

3. At the third stop she put 6.6 gallons and paid $20.39, then:

$20.39/6.6 gallons=$3.08 per gallon.

4. Then, you can conclude she paid the most for the gas in the first stop ($3.35 per gallon).

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 14xy – 28x – 36y + 48? 2(7x – 6)(y – 2)(3y + 4) 2(7x – 6)(y – 2)(3y – 4) 2[7
Zolol [24]

The expression that is equivalent to 14xy – 28x – 36y + 48 is 2[7x(y-2)-6(3y-4)]

<h3>Factorizing expressions</h3>

Factorization is a way of separating the equations into two separate factors.

Given the expression below;

14xy – 28x – 36y + 48

Group

(14xy – 28x) – (36y + 48)

14x(y - 2) - 12(3y-4)

Factor out the value of 2 from both terms

2[7x(y-2)-6(3y-4)]

Hence the expression that is equivalent to 14xy – 28x – 36y + 48 is 2[7x(y-2)-6(3y-4)]

For the love of God help me !! I'm desperate for it tomorrow
Eduardwww [97]
Try to relax.  Your desperation has surely progressed to the point where
you're unable to think clearly, and to agonize over it any further would only
cause you more pain and frustration.
I've never seen this kind of problem before.  But I arrived here in a calm state,
having just finished my dinner and spent a few minutes rubbing my dogs, and
I believe I've been able to crack the case.

Consider this:  (2)^a negative power = (1/2)^the same power but positive.

So: 
Whatever power (2) must be raised to, in order to reach some number 'N',
the same number 'N' can be reached by raising (1/2) to the same power
but negative.

What I just said in that paragraph was:  log₂ of(N) = <em>- </em>log(base 1/2) of (N) .
I think that's the big breakthrough here.
The rest is just turning the crank.

Now let's look at the problem:

log₂(x-1) + log(base 1/2) (x-2) = log₂(x)

Subtract  log₂(x)  from each side: 

log₂(x-1) - log₂(x) + log(base 1/2) (x-2) = 0

Subtract  log(base 1/2) (x-2)  from each side:

log₂(x-1) - log₂(x)  =  - log(base 1/2) (x-2)  Notice the negative on the right.

The left side is the same as  log₂[ (x-1)/x  ]

==> The right side is the same as  +log₂(x-2)

Now you have:  log₂[ (x-1)/x  ]  =  +log₂(x-2)

And that ugly [ log to the base of 1/2 ] is gone.

Take the antilog of each side:

(x-1)/x = x-2

Multiply each side by 'x' :  x - 1 = x² - 2x

Subtract (x-1) from each side:

x² - 2x - (x-1) = 0

x² - 3x + 1 = 0

Using the quadratic equation, the solutions to that are
x = 2.618
and
x = 0.382 .

I think you have to say that <em>x=2.618</em> is the solution to the original
log problem, and 0.382 has to be discarded, because there's an
(x-2) in the original problem, and (0.382 - 2) is negative, and
there's no such thing as the log of a negative number.


There,now.  Doesn't that feel better.

Terry needs to carry a pole that
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Yes, The pole will fit through the door because the diagonal width of the door is 10.8 feet, which is longer than the length of the pole.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, (a^2+b^2=c^2 ) we can measure the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Since the doorway is a rectangle, and a rectangle cut diagonally is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean Theorem to measure the diagonal width of the doorway.

Plug in the values of the length and width of the door for a and b. The c value will represent the diagonal width of the doorway:

6^2+9^2=c^2

36+81=c^2

117=c^2

Since 117 is equal to the value of c multiplied by c, we must find the square root of 117 to find the value of c.

\sqrt{117} =10.8

10.8=c

Yes, The pole will fit through the door because the diagonal width of the door is 10.8 feet, which is longer than the length of the pole, measuring 10 feet.

Please help!!
ZanzabumX [31]

The two linear equations in two variable is:

12 x + 3 y = 40

7 x - 4 y = 38

(a) For a system of equations in two Variable

a x + by = c

p x + q y = r

It will have unique solution , when

\frac{a}{p}\neq \frac{b}{q}\neq\frac{c}{r}

As, you can see  that in the two equation Provided above

\frac{12}{7}\neq \frac{3}{-4}\neq \frac{40}{38}

So, we can say the system of equation given here has unique solution.

(b). If point (2.5, -3.4) satisfies both the equations, then it will be solution of the system of equation, otherwise not.

1. 12 x+3 y=40

2. 7 x-4 y=38

Substituting , x= 2.5 , and y= -3.4 in equation (1) and (2),

L.H.S of Equation (1)= 1 2 × 2.5 + 3 × (-3.4)

                             = 30 -10.20

                               = 19.80≠ R.H.S that is 40.

Similarly, L H S of equation (2)= 7 × (2.5) - 4 × (-3.4)

                                                  = 17.5 +13.6

                                                  = 31.1≠R HS that is 38

So, you can Write with 100 % confidence that point (2.5, -3.4) is not a solution of  this system of the equation.
