The amount of oil used by a ship traveling at a uniform speed varies jointly with the distance and the square of the speed. The

ship uses 34 barrels of oil in traveling 60 miles at 20 mi/h. How many barrels of oil are used when the ship travels 32 miles at 23 mi/h? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a barrel, if necessary.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Joint variation has the equation

y = kxz

k is the constant of variation and needs to be solved for using the initial conditions, then filled in later to another equation related to the given info to solve for something else.  We are given y = amount of oil used, x = distance traveled, z-squared is the speed.  Our equation looks like this, to be exact:

y=kxz^2

Filling in with the initial conditions:

34=k(60)(20)^2 which gives us the

k = .0014166667

Now we need to find the amount of oil used, y, under other circumstances, but this time we have our k.

y=(.0014166667)(32)(23)^2

which gives us that the amount of oil used, when rounded to the tenths,

y = 24.0 barrels

Write an equation for a parabola with a focus of (1,-2) and a directrix of y=6
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{16}(x - 1)² + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point (x, y) on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix.

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2^} = | y - 6 |

Square both sides

(x - 1)² + (y + 2)² = (y - 6)² ( expand the factors in y )

(x - 1)² + y² + 4y + 4 = y² - 12y + 36 ( subtract y² - 12y from both sides )

(x - 1)² + 16y + 4 = 36 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

(x - 1)² + 16y = 32 ← subtract (x - 1)² from both sides )

16y = - (x - 1)² + 32 ( divide all terms by 16 )

y = - \frac{1}{16} (x - 1)² + 2

How many tiles would I need to by if each tile was 2ft by 2Ft and the square footage was 69X69
valina [46]
This is the formula you would use to calculate how many tiles you would need.

# of tiles you need = Total square footage ÷ square footage of each tile 


Total square footage: 69x69 = 4761 square feet
Square footage of each tile = 2x2 = 4 square feet

# of tiles you need =
4761 ÷ 4 = 1190.25 

You will need 1190.25 tiles.

A sample of 50 people was randomly chosen, and 60% of them said that they would rather eat breakfast at home than at a restauran
nalin [4]
The answer to this question would be: <span>The new survey’s margin of error will be between 50% and 100% the size of the original survey’s margin of error. 

A bigger sample will result in a narrower margin of error which is a good thing because your data will become more accurate. But twice size will not improve the margin into the half. It definitely became lower than 100% though
