Solve the problem. When going more than 38 miles per hour, the gas mileage of a certain car fits the model where x is the speed

of the car in miles per hour and y is the miles per gallon of gasoline. Based on this model, at what speed will the car average 15 miles per gallon? (Round to nearest whole number.)

Answer:

73 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to be incomplete because the model is missing, I found a similar question with the addition of the model, so if we can solve it (see attached image).

We have that the model would be:

y = 43.81 - 0.395 * x

We need to solve for x, if y = 15

Replacing:

15 = 43.81 - 0.395 * x

Solving for x we have:

0.395 * x = 43.81 - 15

0.395 * x = 28.81

x = 28.81 / 0.395

x = 72.9

We are asked to round to the nearest number therefore x = 73.

The car will average 15 miles per gallon at the speed of 73 miles per hour.

Suppose that you are headed toward a plataeu 70m high. If the angle of elevation to the top of the platau is 35 degree how far a
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The distance you are from the base of plateau = 99.97\ m\approx 100\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of plateau = 70 m

Angle of elevation to the top of plateau = 35°

To find the distance you are from the base of plateau.

We will construct a triangle ABC to model the given situation. The triangle would be a right triangle for which we know an angle and its opposite side. We need to find the adjacent side of the triangle.

We will apply trigonometric ratio to find the adjacent side.

\tan\theta=\frac{Opposite\ Side}{Adjacent\ Side}

where \theta represents the angle of reference.

Plugging in the values from the triangle.

\tan 35\° =\frac{BC}{AC}

\tan 35\° =\frac{70}{AC}

Multiplying both sides by AC.

AC\times \tan 35\° =AC\times \frac{70}{AC}

AC\times \tan 35\° =70

Dividing both sides by \tan 35\°

\frac{AC\times \tan 35\°}{\tan 35\°} =\frac{70}{\tan 35\°}

∴ AC=99.97\ m\approx 100\ m

The distance you are from the base of plateau = 99.97\ m\approx 100\ m

Which of the following fractions is greater than -4/5 but less than -3/4
choli [55]

Answer:

B. -19/25

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for an answer that is greater than -4/5 (which is equal to -0.80) but less than -3/4 (which is equal to -0.75). So, you can easily convert the fractions to decimals by dividing.

-33/50 = -0.66, which is greater than -0.75, so it can be eliminated.

-19/25 = -0.76, which fits our parameters, so it is the answer.

-19/20 = -0.95, which is less than -0.80, so it can be eliminated.

-7/10 = -0.70, which is greater than -0.75, so it can be eliminated.
