The table below represents the displacement of a bird from its nest as a function of time:

The y-intercept (point where x, or time equals zero), is 12 miles. This means that when observation of the bird began at time t=0, it was already away from its nest. Based on the rest the graph, one can infer that the bird has a very large range (travels far from her nest) and spends a great deal of time away from her nest. 

To find the average rate of change of the function, take the change in y between x=1 and x=3 and divide by 2. 
(36 - 20) / 2 = 16/2 = 8 miles / hour .

The domain of the function is the range of x for which y is a real number. We see in the chart provided that the bird travels 8 miles every hour. 

How many hours will it take to travel 172 miles from the nest? The bird started at 12, so let's so how long it takes to travel 172 - 12 = 160 miles, moving at a rate of 8 miles/hour.
160 miles / 8mph = 20 hours
The domain of the function, the time range in which the bird travels 172 miles from the nest, will be 0 ≤ x ≤ 20

What is the missing length?
TEA [102]
Answer:  13.722 km ;  or, write as:  13  13/18 km .
___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
Area = Length * width ; 
___________________________________________________
or, write as:  A = L * w ;
________________________

Given: A = 247 km² ; 
           
          L = 18 km ; 
 
          w = "y" ; 
________________________
 Find:  "y"
______________________________
  A = L * w ; 
______________________________
Plug in our values:
______________________________
  247 km² = 18 km * "y" ;  solve for "y" (in units of "km") ;

_____________________________
        18 y = 247 ; 
___________________________________________________________
Divide each side of the equation by "18"; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" :
___________________________________________________________
        18 y / 18 = 247 / 18 ;
_____________________________________________
  to get:
_____________________________________________
              y = 13.7222222222222222...... km ;  round to: 13.722 km

                   or;  y = 13  13/18 km .

Peggy filled her​ van's gas tank and noted that the odometer read 24 comma 583.9. After the next​ fill-up, it read 24 comma 923.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

19.4 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the distance traveled per gallon of fuel filled into a tank. Hence, this looks like a rate question.

Firstly, we need to know the distance covered during the duration in which the fuel was in the engine. To do this, we subtract the final odometer reading from the initial odometer reading. This is mathematically equal to: 24,923.4 - 24,583.9 = 339.5 miles.

This means she travelled a total distance of 339.5 miles on the 17.5 gallon fuel.

Hence, the miles per gallon gotten by the van is numerically equal to 339.5/17.5 = 19.4 miles/ gallon
