Answer:

8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the tank is filled halfway, and it can hold 17.2 gallons, so we can just divide to figure out how much is half the tank (the amount we need to fill it)

17.2 / 2 = 8.6

We can check our work by multiplying

8.6 x 2 = 17.2

So it would take 8.6gal to fill it up. I hope this helps :)

The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are shown below:

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: C is the correct answer.

C.) x = −3.8, 3

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The function f(x) is given by:

$f(x)=x^2-x-12$

and the function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=-1.8x-0.6$

Now, we are asked to find the solution of the equation:

$f(x)=g(x)$

i.e. we have to find the value of x such that both the functions are equal i.e.

$x^2-x-12=-1.8x-0.6\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2-x+1.8x-12+0.6=0\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2+0.8x-11.4=0\\\\i.e.\\\\10x^2+8x-114=0\\\\i.e.\\\\5x^2+4x-57=0$

Now, on solving the equation using the quadratic formula i.e. the solution of the equation:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

is given by:

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Here we have:

$a=5,\ b=4\ and\ c=-57$

Hence, the solution is given by:

$x=\dfrac{-4\pm \sqrt{4^2-4\times 5\times (-57)}}{2\times 5}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{-4\pm \sqrt{16+1140}}{10}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=-3.8\ and\ x=3$
