You're going on a 1211-mile trip, and your car gets about 29 miles per gallon. Gas prices along your route average $3.40. Estima

te the cost of gasoline for this trip by rounding the distance to 1200 miles, the mileage to 30 miles per gallon, and the cost of gas to $3.00 per gallon. Calculate the answer without using estimate and compare the two results. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

Answer:

Using the estimate:

The car has to go for 1,200 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 30 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:

= 1,200 / 30

= 40 gallons

Each gallon costs $3.00 so the total cost is:

= 40 * 3

= $120

Without using the estimate:

The car has to go for 1,211 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 29 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:

= 1,211 / 29

= 41.76 gallons

Each gallon costs $3.40 so the total cost is:

= 41.76 * 3.40

= $‭141.98

<em>Using the estimate provides a lower cost of gasoline for the trip. </em>

Answer:

A = -12

B = -8

C = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-8

x = -2

y=2(-2)-8=-4-8=-12

A = -12

x = 0

y = 2 (0)-8=-8

B = -8

x = 2

y = 2 (2) -8 = 4-8 = -4

C = -4

Hope this helps

\bf \cfrac{3\pm1}{\frac{1}{3}}\implies &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\cfrac{3+1}{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\&#10;\cfrac{3-1}{\frac{1}{3}}&#10;\end{cases}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \cfrac{3+1}{\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{4}{1}}{\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{4}{1}\cdot \cfrac{3}{1}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 3}{1\cdot 1}\implies \cfrac{12}{1}\implies \boxed{12}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{3-1}{\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{2}{\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2}{1}}{\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{2}{1}\cdot \cfrac{3}{1}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 3}{1\cdot 1}\implies \cfrac{6}{1}\implies \boxed{6}

Which equation using x to represent time best represents the floor number of an elevator descending at a steady rate?
zepelin [54]
C. You'd be starting at a higher floor (positive number) and descending floors (negative number per x). If you assume x is time it's a little more logical and visual.
