Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
"When 200 gallons of oil were removed from a tank" algebraically looks like this:
V - 200.
"...the volume of oil left in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity" algebraically looks like this:
3/7(V)
Therefore, the equation is
V - 200 = 3/7(V)
Begin by multiplying both sides by 7:
7(V - 200) = 3V and
7V - 1400 = 3V so
-1400 = -4V so
V = 350 gallons
That's if the volume of the oil in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity.
For the other part of the problem, we set up the equation almost the same, except the 3/7 is a 1/2:
V - 200 = 1/2(V)
Multiplying both sides by 2 gives you
2(V - 200) = V and
2V - 400 = V so
-400 = -V so
V = 400
10 • 6 = 60
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10

20 + 20 + 20

40 + 20 = 60
It has a minimum value at x = 3 and f(x) = 4
Vertex form is
f(x) = a(x - 3)^2 + 4 where a is some constant to be found
From the graph when x = 5 f(x) = 15, so
15 = a * 2^2 + 4
a = 15-4/4 = 11/4
so our equation is f(x) = 11/4(x - 3)^2 + 4
1. First, let us define the width of the rectangle as w and the length as l.
2. Now, given that the length of the rectangle is 6 in. more than the width, we can write this out as:
l = w + 6
3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2w + 2l. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle in the problem is 24 in. so we can rewrite this as:
24 = 2w + 2l
4. Given that we know that l = w + 6, we can substitute this into the formula for the perimeter above so that we will have only one variable to solve for. Thus:
24 = 2w + 2l
if l = w + 6, then: 24 = 2w + 2(w + 6)
24 = 2w + 2w + 12 (Expand 2(w + 6) )
24 = 4w + 12
12 = 4w (Subtract 12 from each side)
w = 12/4 (Divide each side by 4)
w = 3 in.
5. Now that we know that the width is 3 in., we can substitute this into our formula for length that we found in 2. :
l = w + 6
l = 3 + 6
l = 9 in.
6. Therefor the rectangle has a width of 3 in. and a length of 9 in.
So the Correct answer would be all three of them.
This includes 27:18, 12:8, and 21:14.
The math behind this includes proportions.
For instance, if you multiple 3 by 9, you get 37. You have to multiple 2 by 9 now, and you should get 18. This is how all three of the answers are correct!
