Answer:

11.1 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Abdul drove 320 MILES using 12 GALLONS, how many gallons will he need to drive 296 MILES. This can be represented mathematically by;

320 miles=12 gallons

296 miles=x

I replaced the unknown value with the letter x to make it easier to identify. Anyway, you need to cross and multiply. So 296 will multiply 12 and 320 will multiply x.

296 multiplied by 12 is 3552 and 320 multiplied by x is 320x. So;

3552=320x

Divide the both sides by 320 to reveal the value of x. 320 divided by 320 is x. And 3552 divided by 320 is 11.1. So;

x=11.1 gallons of gas

Which of the functions below have period 2pi? Check all that apply. A. y = tan x B. y = sec x C. y = cot x D. y = csc x

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Option B and D are correct that is $y=secx$ and $y=cscx$ respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given four functions:

CaseA:

$y=tanx$

$\text{Period oftanx is} \pi$

Hence, A is correct.

CaseB:

$y=secx$

$\text{Period of secx is} 2\pi$

Hence, B is correct.

CaseC:

$y=cotx$

$\text{Period of cotx is} \pi$

Hence, C is not correct.

CaseD:

$y=cscx$

$\text{Period of cscx is} 2\pi$

Hence, D is correct.

Express it in slope-intercept form.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

y = 1/2x -1

The slope is increasing by 2/4, which can be reduced to 1/2. You can find this by doing rise over run.

The y intercept is -1

Perform the indicated operation to write given polynomial in standard form: (x^3+2x^2 − 3x − 1) +(4 − x − x^3)

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

$\left(x^3+2x^2-3x-1\right)+\left(4-x-x^3\right)=2x^2-4x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write any polynomial in standard form, you look at the degree of each term. You then write each term in order of degree, from highest to lowest, left to write.

To add the polynomials you need to:

Remove parentheses

$\left(x^3+2x^2-3x-1\right)+\left(4-x-x^3\right)=x^3+2x^2-3x-1+4-x-x^3$

Group like terms

$\left(x^3+2x^2-3x-1\right)+\left(4-x-x^3\right)=x^3-x^3+2x^2-3x-x-1+4$

Add similar elements

$\left(x^3+2x^2-3x-1\right)+\left(4-x-x^3\right)=2x^2-3x-x-1+4\\\left(x^3+2x^2-3x-1\right)+\left(4-x-x^3\right)=2x^2-4x-1+4\\\left(x^3+2x^2-3x-1\right)+\left(4-x-x^3\right)=2x^2-4x+3$

Tins of paint are filled at the rate of 2m3 per minute.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

160,000 tins

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of tins, divide the fill rate by the volume per tin.

(2·(1000 L)/min)×(60 min)/(1 h)/(0.75 L/tin) = 160,000 tin/h

160,000 tins of paint can be filled in 1 hour.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

That's one tin every 22.5 milliseconds. It would be a feat of engineering to move that volume without splashing.

There are 60 minutes per hour. There are 1000 liters per cubic meter.
