Answer:

First car: 30 gallons

Second car: 20 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark first car used gallons x, and second car used gallons y.

In total they consumed 50, so x + y = 50

In total they went 1050miles, so 15*x+30*y=1050

We get a system of equations. Solve the system.

Take first equation and solve x. x = 50 - y

Then insert x to second equation.

15*(50-y)+30*y=1050

750-15y+30y=1050

15y=1050 divide both sides by 15

y=20 gallons Found y.

Find x from x=50-y

x=50-20=30 gallons

What is the 4th term in the sequence b(n)=1(-2)^n-1
mel-nik [20]
b(n)=1(-2)^n-1

When n = 4, 
b(4)=1(-2)^4-1

b(4)=16-1

b(4)=15

-------------------------------------------------------------

b(n)=1(-2)^{n-1}

When n = 4
b(4)=1(-2)^{4-1}

b(4)=1(-2)^3

b(4)=1(-8)

b(4)=-8

A burst of electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 1 exahertz. One exahertz equals 10^12 megahertz. Each megahertz is equal
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The frequency of the burst of electromagnetic radiation which equals 1 exahertz = 10¹⁸ hertz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the frequency of the burst of electromagnetic radiation is 1 exahertz, and 1 exahertz = 10¹² megahertz. So, the frequency of radiation is 10¹² megahertz. Also 1 megahertz = 10⁶ hertz. So, 10¹² megahertz = 10¹² × 1 megahertz = 10¹² × 10⁶ hertz = 10¹² ⁺ ⁶ hertz = 10¹⁸ hertz.

So the frequency of the burst of electromagnetic radiation which equals 1 exahertz = 10¹⁸ hertz.

Find the equation for the line that passes through the point (1,−4) and that is parallel to the line with the equation y=4.
diamong [38]

Answer:

y = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line with equation y = 4 is a horizontal line on the coordinate plane which passes through the y-axis at y = the point (0, 4).

The other line parallel to this must also be horizontal and , as it passes through the point (1 , -4), must also pass through the y-axis at  ( 0, -4). The equation of this line is y = -4.
