A vehicle’s fuel economy is affected by its speed. The data on Spaller Auto’s most popular vehicle is shown in the table below w
here x is the speed (mph) and F(x) is the fuel economy (mpg). Calculate the rate of change for the interval 35 ≤ x ≤ 45.
1 answer:
Answer:
0.27 mpg/mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The table of your question is attached in the image below
x = 35 , F(X) = 31.4
x = 45 , F(X) = 34.1
We need to find the slope between those points (rate of change)
m = F2 - F1 / (x2 - x1)
m = 34.1 - 31.4 / (45 - 35)
m = 2.7 / (45 - 35)
m = 2.7 / (10)
m = 2.7 / (10) = 0.27
m = 0.27

1st question
Of course you know phythagoras theorm
You even wrote it up there
It states that the sum of the square of the two sides of an equilateral triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse
Where C is the hypotenuse
*NOTE* :
HYPOTENUSE is the greatest side in a triangle!!
And that's where your mistake is!
So you should take the greatest side as C
So in Q3. 7, 24 and 26 are the given numbers
You'll make the smaller two numbers a and b and the greatest number C
Using the Formula you'll solve the left side first which is
Then the right side which is
And if both are equal then it is a right triangle otherwise it isn't!
Let
a=7
b=24
c=26
a^2 + b^2
7^2 + 24^2
49 + 576 = 625
GREAT, Now the right side
26^2 = 676
Since they aren't equal it isn't a right angled triangle...
Then let
a=7.5
b=10
c=12.5
7.5^2 + 10^2
= 56.25 + 100
= 156.25
12.5^2 = 156.25
They are EQUAL
Therefore it is a right triangle too
