A truck is said to get 18 miles per gallon on a highway, but this value can fluctuate,

Mathematics

Ratling [72]2 years ago

Answer: 14 miles ≤ D ≤ 22 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean distance traveled per gallon, is 18 miles.

But this can fluctuate, at most, by 4 miles.

Because we have here the "at most", we know that we should use the ≤, ≥ symbols.

Then, if the mean is 18mi, the range of possible distances traveled per gallon is:

(18 miles - 4 miles) ≤ D ≤ (18 miles + 4 miles)

Where D is the distance.

14 miles ≤ D ≤ 22 miles.

So the truck can get between 14 miles and 22 miles per gallon on the highway.

A population has the following characteristics. (a) A total of 75% of the population survives the first year. Of that 75%, 25% s
Artemon [7]

Answer:

= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1344\\84\\28\end{array}\right]  \left \begin{array}{ccc}{0 \  \leq  age   \leq  1 }\\{ 1 \  \leq  age   \leq  2 }\\{2 \  \leq  age  \leq 3}\end{array}\right

i.e after the first year ;

there 1344 members in the first age class

84 members for the second age class; and

28 members for the third age class

Step-by-step explanation:

We can deduce that the age distribution vector x represents the number of population members for each age class; Given that in each class of age there are 112 members present.

The current age distribution vector is as follows:

x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&2\\1&1&2\\1&1&2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}{0 \  \leq  age   \leq  1 }\\{ 0 \  \leq  age   \leq  2 }\\{0 \  \leq  age   \leq 3}\end{array}\right]

Also , the age transition matrix is as follows:

L = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&6&3\\0.75&0&0 \\0&0.25&0\end{array}\right]

After 1 year ; the age distribution vector will be :

x_2 =Lx_1 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&6&3\\0.75&0&0 \\0&0.25&0\end{array}\right]  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&2\\1&1&2\\1&1&2\end{array}\right]

= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1344\\84\\28\end{array}\right]  \left \begin{array}{ccc}{0 \  \leq  age   \leq 1 }\\{ 1 \  \leq  age   \leq  2 }\\{2 \  \leq  age   \leq  3}\end{array}\right

First multiply (4x5)
Then find 2 cubed = 2x2x2= 8
Then divide 20 by 2= 20/2=10
Then 10-8= 2

What two whole numbers is 29−−√ between?: 3 and 4 4 and 5 5 and 6 6 and 7
jolli1 [7]

The two whole numbers are 5 and 6 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that a square root number lies between which two consecutive integers do that

  • Find a square number less than the number under the root
  • Find a square number greater than the number under the root
  • Find the square root of the square numbers, they will be the two integers that the root lies between them

∵ The number is \sqrt{29}

- Find a square number less than 29

∵ 25 is a square number

∵ 25 is less than 29

- Find a square number greater than 29

∵ 36 is a square number

∵ 36 is greater than 29

∴ 25 < 29 < 36

- Take √ for each number

∴ \sqrt{25} < \sqrt{29} < \sqrt{36}

∵ \sqrt{25}  = 5

∵ \sqrt{36}  = 6

∴ 5 <  \sqrt{29}  < 6

The two whole numbers are 5 and 6

A boat costs $11,850 and decreases in value by 10% per year. How much will the boat be worth after 8 years?
arsen [322]
11,850 x .9 = 11,605  

11605 x . 9 = 9,598.5       year 2 

9,598.5 x .9 = 8,638.65

8,635 x .9 = 7,774.785       year 4

7,774.785 x .9 = 6,997.31

6,6997.31 x .9 = 6297.58     year 6 

6297.58 x .9 = 5,667.82 

5,667.82 x .9 = 5,101.04 year 8 

The answer is D
