Answer:

0.6x < 12.5

x < 20.83 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Diego's family car holds 14 gallons of fuel. Each day the car uses 0.6 gallons of fuel. A warning light comes on when the remaining fuel is 1.5 gallons or less. Write an inequality that represents the number of days Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on. Explain each part of your inequality

Car fuel capacity = 14 gallons

Fuel capacity that shows warning light = 1.5 gallons

Fuel capacity without warning light = Car fuel capacity - Fuel capacity that shows warning light

= 14 gallons - 1.5 gallons

= 12.5 gallons

Fuel used per day = 0.6 gallons

Let

x = number of days Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on

The inequality is

0.6x < 12.5

Solve for x

x < 12.5/0.6

x < 20.83 days

A cone is filled to a height of 3 inches with a liquid. The liquid is then poured into an empty cylinder with the same height an
Tasya [4]
Answer: 1 inch

Volume of the cylinder = πr²h

Volume of the cone = 1/3πr²h

If the radius are the same for both the cone and the cylinder, then the liquid will reach 1/3 of its height in the cylinder compared to the cone. 

Height = 1/3 x 3 inches 
Height = 1 inch

Find the equation, (f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k), for a parabola containing point (2, -1) and having (4, -3) as a vertex. What is the s
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is written in the form

f(x)=a((x-h)^2+k) (1)

where:

h is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

ak is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

a is a scale factor

For the parabola in the problem, we know that the vertex has  coordinates (4,-3), so we have:

h=4 (2)

ak=-3

From this last equation, we get that a=\frac{-3}{k} (3)

Substituting (2) and (3) into (1) we get the new expression:

f(x)=-\frac{3}{k}((x-4)^2+k) = -\frac{3}{k}(x-4)^2 -3 (4)

We also know that the parabola  contains the point (2,-1), so we can substitute

x = 2

f(x) = -1

Into eq.(4) and find the value of k:

-1=-\frac{3}{k}(2-4)^2-3\\-1=-\frac{3}{k}\cdot 4 -3\\2=-\frac{12}{k}\\k=-\frac{12}{2}=-6

So we also get:

a=-\frac{3}{k}=-\frac{3}{-6}=\frac{1}{2}

So the equation of the parabola is:

f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x-4)^2 -6) (5)

Now we want to rewrite it in the standard form, i.e. in the form

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

To do that, we simply rewrite (5) expliciting the various terms, we find:

f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x^2-8x+16)-6)=\frac{1}{2}(x^2-8x+10)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5

Marcos purchased a sail boat for $56,900. He anticipates each year the boat will decrease in value by 8.1% from the previous yea
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: 56,900\left( 0.919\right)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Marcos purchased a sailboat for \$56,900

Each year the boat will decrease in value by 8.1\%

After 1 year it is

\Rightarrow 56,900-56,900\times 0.081\\\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)\\

after another year it becomes

\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)-56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)\times 0.081\\\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)\cdot \left( 1-0.081\right)\\\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)^2

After x years it is

\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)^x

\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 0.919\right)^x

What is this problem
Veronika [31]

The coordinate of the vertex is; (h, k) = (3, -5)

The final equation of the parabola is; y = 5(x - 3)² - 5

<h3>How to find the vertex of a Parabola?</h3>

The vertex is the coordinate of the crest or trough of the curve. Now, in the given graph, we only have a Trough which is the lowest point of the graph.

The coordinate of the vertex is; (h, k) = (3, -5)

2) Since the general equation is;

y = a(x - h)² + k

We will have;

y = a(x - 3)² - 5

At x = 2, y = 0. Thus;

0 = a(2 - 3)² - 5

a - 5 = 0

a = 5

3) The final equation of the parabola is;

y = 5(x - 3)² - 5
