Which is the best estimate for the sum 2/9 +10/11 ?

If there are approximately 1.8 million cars in Vancouver and if each car travels an average of 17,500 kilometres in a year, how

Goryan [66]

Rates are used to measure a quantity over another.

The 1.8 million cars use $1.85 \times 10^{10}$ liters each year

Given

$Cars = 1.8\ million$

$d = 17500km$ --- distance

$r = 40miles/gallon$

First, we calculate the number (n) of gallons used by each car

$r = \frac{d}{n}$

Solve for n

$n = \frac{d}{r}$

So, we have:

$n = \frac{17500km}{40miles/gallon}$

$n = \frac{17500km}{40miles}gallon$

Convert miles to kilometers

$n = \frac{17500km}{40km \times 1.60934}gallon$

$n = \frac{17500km}{64.3738km}gallon$

$n = 271.85\ gallon$

The number of gallons (N), used by all the cars is:

$N = n \times cars$

$N = 271.85 \times 1.8\ million$

$N = 489330000$

Convert to liters

$N = 489330000 \times 3.78541L$

$N = 1852314675.3L$

In scientific notation to 2 decimal places, we have:

$N = 1.85 \times 10^{10}L$

Hence, the number of liters used is $1.85 \times 10^{10}$

For the region bounded by y=2x, the x-axis, and x=1, determine which of the following is greater: the volume of the solid ge

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct answer B) The volumes are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a disk of revolution at any x about the x- axis is πy² where y=2x. If we integrate this area on the given range of values of x from x=0 to x=1 , we will get the volume of revolution about the x-axis, which here equals,

$\int\limits^1_0 {(pi)y^{2} } \, dx$

which when evaluated gives 4pi/3.

Now we have to calculate the volume of revolution about the y-axis. For that we have to first see by drawing the diagram that the area of the CD like disk centered about the y-axis for any y, as we rotate the triangular area given in the question would be pi - pi*x². if we integrate this area over the range of value of y that is from y=0 to y=2 , we will obtain the volume of revolution about the y-axis, which is given by,

$\int\limits^2_0 {pi - pix^{2} } \, dy = \int\limits^2_0 {1 - y^{2}/4 } \, dy$

If we just evaluate the integral as usual we will get 4pi/3 again(In the second step i have just replaced x with y/2 as given by the equation of the line), which is the same answer we got for the volume of revolution about the x-axis. Which means that the answer B) is correct.

How many solutions does 3 - 2x = 5 - x + 3 + 4x have?

vitfil [10]

Well let's see.

$3-2x=5-x+3+4x \\3-2x=8+3x \\-5x=5 \\x=-1 \\$

The equation has exactly one solution.

Hope this helps.
