The tank at a gas station contained 400 gallons of gas. A tanker truck that contained 8,100 gallons of gas filled the station's

tank. After that the tanker truck had 4 times as much gas as the station's tank. How much did the tanker truck put into the station's tank?

Answer:

<h2>The tanker truck put 1300 gallons of gas into the station's tank.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The gas station contained 400 gallons of gas.
  • The truck contained 8,100 gallons of gas.
  • After filling, the truck had 4 times as much gas as the gas station.

In this problem, the unknown variable x represents the amount of gas the truck filled to the gas station. So,

4(400+x)=8100-x

400+x expresses the tank of the gas station filled

8100-x represents the amount of gas is taken out of the truck, which is the same amount that it's being filled to the station.

4(400+x) expresses the comparison between the gas station and the truck, the tank of the truck (after filling) is four times the tanks of the gas station.

Now, we solve for x

4(400+x)=8100-x\\1600+4x=8100-x\\4x+x=8100-1600\\5x=6500\\x=\frac{6500}{5}=1300

Therefore, the tanker truck put 1300 gallons of gas into the station's tank.

Answer:

1300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount put in the station's tank = x

4(400 + x) = 8100 - x                           Remove the brackets

1600 + 4x = 8100 - x                            Subtract 1600 from both sides

1600 - 1600 + 4x = 8100 - 1600 - x     Do the subtraction

4x = 6500 - x                                        Add x to both sides

4x + x = 6500 - x + x        

5x = 6500                                            Divide by 5

5x/5 = 6500/5                                      

x = 1300

1300 gallons were added to the station's tank.

Usually called "half of base times height", the area of a triangle is given by the formula below.Area=ba2whereb  is the length of the base
a  is the length of the corresponding altitude

You can choose any side to be the base. It need not be the one drawn at the bottom of the triangle. The altitude must be the one corresponding to the base you choose. The altitude is the line perpendicular to the selected base from the opposite vertex.

In the figure above, one side has been chosen as the base and its corresponding altitude is shown.

we believe that 42% of freshmen do not visit their counselors regularly. For this year, you would like to obtain a new sample to
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

A sample of 1077 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

42% of freshmen do not visit their counselors regularly.

This means that \pi = 0.42

98% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.02, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99, so Z = 2.327.

How large of a sample size is required?

A sample size of n is required, and n is found when M = 0.035. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.035 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.42*0.58}{n}}

0.035\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.42*0.58}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.42*0.58}}{0.035}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.42*0.58}}{0.035})^2

n = 1076.8

Rounding up:

A sample of 1077 is required.

On which graph does the red point have a clear meaning?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The graph where the red point has a meaning is the graph C or third graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see the first and second graphs are irrelevant and have no relation between the x axis and y axis.

In graph A, the bird feeder graph is shown where the quart is a unit for liquids and pounds is a unit for solids. Thus, the red point cannot be defined.

Similarly, in graph B, height and team numbers are not related to each other in any way, so not clear meaning can be withdrawn here,

In graph C, the relation between cost of pictures and number of pictures are shown. We can very well understand here, that as the number of pictures increases, the cost increases.

So, the graph where the red point has a meaning is the graph C or third graph.

If f(x) and its inverse function, F(x), are both plotted on the same coordinate plane, what is their point of intersection?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:  d) (3, 3)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Inverse is when you swap the x's and y's.

Let's look at the points and find their inverse:

  f(x)           f⁻¹(x)

(0, -2)  -->  (-2, 0)

(1, -1)   -->   (-1, 1)

(2, 0)  -->   (0, 2)

(3, 3)   -->   (3, 3)       f(x) = f⁻¹(x) so this is where they intersect!
