Answer: 14 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation: For the fractions, find a common denominator, which would be 10. To get 1/5 to have a denominator of 10, multiply each number by 2. You would get 2/10. 7 gallons fills his tank from 2/10 to 7/10. Subtract the two fractions.

7/10 - 2/10 = 5/10.

7 gallons filled his tank half way. We are trying to find the amount to fill his tank all the way. So multiply 7 by 2.

7 x 2 = 14

14 gallons of gas will fill his tank all the way.

I hope this helps!

What are the y-intercept of the function f(x)=-2x^2-3x+20?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

$\sf A) \ (-4, \ 0) \ and \ \ [\dfrac{5}{2} , \ 0]$

Explanation:

Given function: f(x) = -2x² - 3x + 20

To find the x-intercepts of a function, f(x) = 0

=================

-2x² - 3x + 20 = f(x)

-2x² - 3x + 20 = 0

-2x² - 8x + 5x + 20 = 0

-2x(x + 4) + 5(x + 4) = 0

(-2x + 5) (x + 4) = 0

-2x + 5 = 0, x + 4 = 0

-2x = -5, x = -4

x = -5/-2,x = -4

x = 5/2, x= -4

Coordinates: (-4, 0), (5/2, 0)

Find the length and the midpoind of the segment with the given endpointsA(2,3 )and B(5,7)

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

$Suppose,~a~line~segment~has~midpoints~(x_1,y_1)~and~(x_2,y_2). Then,\\Midpoint~of~the~line = (\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2})\\Distance = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\According~ to~ the ~question,\\(x_1,y_1) = A(2,3)\\(x_2,y_2) = B(5,7)\\Midpoint~of~AB = (\frac{2+5}{2},\frac{3+7}{2}) = (\frac{7}{2},5)\\AB = \sqrt{(5-2)^2+(7-3)^2} = \sqrt{3^2+4^2} = 5units$
