many miles per gallon romans carr gets compared to leis car
Mathematics

Answer:

  about 2 times as many

Step-by-step explanation:

Double 14.5 is 29, which is close to 28.5. Roman's car gets slightly less than 2 time as many miles per gallon as Lei's car.

___

If you like, you can take the estimate to the next level. The estimate of "2 times" is high by a factor of 29/28.5 or by 1 unit in 58. This is between 1.5% and 2% high, so a closer estimate is between 1.96 and 1.97 times as many.

__

The actual ratio is about 1.9655.

The graph of a linear function is shown on the grid. (-3,3.6) (5,2) What is the rate of change of y with respect to x for this f
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

rate of change = -0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change = slope,m

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  \\ m =  \frac{3.6 - 2}{ - 3 - 2}  \\ m =  \frac{1.6}{ - 5}  \\ m =  \frac{ - 0.32}{1}

Round to the nearest ten and hundred 829
Musya8 [376]
To the nearest ten, 829 would become <em><u>830</u></em> because the ones digit (9) is closer to 30 than it is to 20. So we would round up.

To round to the nearest hundred, we look at the tens and ones digit. 29 is less than 50 so we would have to round down to <em><u>800</u></em> instead of rounding up to 900.

Hope that helps :)

Write an equation that passes through a pair of points
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

C. y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope, m, of the line that passes through the two given points.

Slope = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{-2}{2} = -\frac{1}{1} = -1

Next, determine the y-intercept, b.

The y-intercept is where the line intercepts the y-axis. The line intercepts the y-axis at y = 2. Therefore, b = 2.

Now, to get an equation of the line, substitute m = -1, and b = 2 in y = mx + b.

✅The equation would be:

y = -1x + 2

y = -x + 2

9. Ms. Ortiz sells tomatoes wholesale. The function p(x)=–80x2 + 320x – 10, graphed below,
labwork [276]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. $310 at $2 per kilogram</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's find out the maximum profit Ms. Ortiz can make with a loaf of tomatoes:

function p(x)=–80x² + 320x – 10

For x = 1, price per kilogram of tomatoes would be: 4 - x = 3

–80x² + 320x – 10, replacing with x = 1

-80 * 1² + 320 * 1 - 10 = -80 + 320 - 10 = 230

For x = 2 price per kilogram of tomatoes would be: 4 - x = 2

–80x² + 320x – 10, replacing with x = 2

-80 * 2² + 320 * 2 - 10 = -320 + 640 - 10 = 310

For x = 3, price per kilogram of tomatoes would be: 4 - x = 1

–80x² + 320x – 10, replacing with x = 3

-80 * 3² + 320 * 3 - 10 = -720 + 960 - 10 = 230

<u>The correct answer is B. $310 at $2 per kilogram</u>

Find the equation for the parabola that passes through the point (-2,-4), with vertex at (3,1) and a vertical axis
Igoryamba

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (3, 1), hence

y = a(x - 3)² + 1

To find a substitute (- 2, - 4) into the equation

- 4 = a(- 2 - 3)² + 1

- 4 = 25a + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

25a = - 5 ( divide both sides by 25 )

a = - \frac{5}{25} = - \frac{1}{5}

y = - \frac{1}{5} (x - 3)² + 1 ← in vertex form
