Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

total distance= 850 miles

gas tank holds gas= 15 gallons

mileage = 72/3.2 miles/gallon

if

72 miles uses= 3.2 gallon

then

850 miles uses= x gallons

by cross-multiplication we get

72x=3.2(850)

x=37.778

i.e. 850 miles will use 37.7778 gallon of gas

Asgas tank holds 15 gallons

number of times gas tank is used up= 37.3/15

                                                            = 2.518

rounding off

number of times gas tank is used up=3

As they filled the gas tank at the start of the road trip, hence 3-1=2

ADDITIONAL STOPS FOR GAS WILL THEY NEED TO MAKE TO GET TO THEIR DESTINATION =2 !

-9x=-36 what is the answer
Vlad1618 [11]

-9x=-36

divide both sides by -9

to get x by itself

to get +x

-9x/-9= -36/-9

cross out -9 and -9, then becomes -1*-1*x= x

x= -36/-9

answer:

x= 4

Which graph best represents an exponential function?
stellarik [79]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Choice B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can eliminate each graph:

a). This is what is known as a step function. This is incorrect.

b). This is an exponential function because the graph is shaped like a geometric equation. This means that the rate of change is exponential. This is the correct choice.

c). This is an absolute value function. This is incorrect.

d). This is a graph of a polynomial. This does not represent an exponential function, which makes it incorrect.

If an object is projected upward into the air from ground level, then the height h(t) of the object
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

21.5secs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function that models the height of an object as

h(t) = -16t^2+ 344t

The object hit the ground at h(t) = 0

Substitute

0 =  -16t^2+ 344t

16t^2 = 344t

16t = 344

t = 344/16

t =  21.5

Hence it takes 21.5secs for the object to hit the ground

If the measure of angle 4 is 11x and angle 3 is 4x , what is the measure of angle 3 in degrees?
fgiga [73]
<span>Answer:
   Let x = degree measure of the angle
    So, the complement of the angle has degree measure 90-x
    4/11 = x/(90-x)
    4(90-x) = 11x
    360 - 4x = 11x
    15x = 360
    x = 24°
    Supplement = 180 - x = 156° x/(180-x) = 24/156 = 2/13</span>
