Answer: 16 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
A: 1l x km
B: 1l x+5 km
Running 400 km A used 400/x litres
Running 400 km B used 400/(x+5) litres
400/x- 400/(x+5)= 4
400*(x+5)- x*400-4*x*(x+5)=0
400*x+2000-400*x-4*x²-20*x=0
2000-4*x²-20*x=0 difide by 4 both sides of equation
500-x²-5*x=0
Lets solve the equation using discriminant:
D=5²-(-1)*4*500=2025
sqrt(D)=45
x1= (5+45)/(-2)= -25 x2=(5-45)/(-2)=20
x1=-25 x2=20
x1<0 so is not the solution of the problem ( number of litres can't be negative)
So A uses litr per x=20 km and B uses 1 litr per 20+5=25 km
Running 400 km B uses 400/25=16 litres
Non real complex...........
Answer:
y=x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
It is not a function because there can't be two of the same number on the x-axis.
6480 is the next one, and the second next one is -38880. You can determine this by multiplying the number twice by 36.
