Answer:

3.1 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to figure out how many gallons of gas go into 72 miles. We know 23 miles is equal to one gallon of gas, and given that the ratio of miles to gas stays the same, we can say that

miles of gas / gallons = miles of gas / gallons

23 miles / 1 gallon = 72 miles / gallons needed to go to Bob's mother's house

If we write the gallons needed to go to Bob's mother's house as g, we can say

23 miles / 1 gallon = 72 miles/g

multiply both sides by 1 gallon to remove a denominator

23 miles = 72 miles * 1 gallon /g

multiply both sides by g to remove the other denominator

23 miles * g = 72 miles * 1 gallon

divide both sides by 23 miles to isolate the g

g = 72 miles * 1 gallon/23 miles

= 72 / 23 gallons

≈ 3.1 gallons

Find the dicontinuities of the function.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to type in

f(x)=\frac{x^2+12x+27}{x^2+4x+3} because you can only have removable discontinuities where there is a rational (fraction) function. Begin by factoring both the numerator and denominator to

f(x)=\frac{(x+3)(x+9)}{(x+1)(x+3)} and cancelling out like terms would have us eliminating the (x + 3). That is where there is a removable discontinuity. It leaves a hole. The other discontinuity, (x + 1) doesn't cancel out so it is a non-removable discontuinity, which is a vertical asymptote.

The removable discontinuity is at -3. There is no y value at x = -3 (remember there's only a hole here), because -3 causes the denominator to go to 0 and we all know that having a 0 in the denominator of a fraction is a big no-no!!!

Solve for the angle x.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

An entire triangle is 180 degrees and you already know that one angle is 90 degrees. 180 - 90 is 90. Now you have the equation 2x=90.

You then divide each side by 2 to get the x by itself which leaves you with x=45.
