Answer:

<em>The vehicle can travel 12 miles per gallon of gasoline</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

A vehicle uses 1 1/8 gallons of gasoline to travel 13 1/2 miles.

It's required to find the rate of miles per gallon of gasoline consumption of the vehicle.

First, we convert all the mixed fractions to improper fractions:

$1\frac{1}{8}=1+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{9}{8}$

$13\frac{1}{2}=13+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{27}{2}$

The rate of consumption is:

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{27}{2}}{\frac{9}{8}}$

Operating:

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{27}{2}}{\frac{9}{8}}=\frac{27}{2}\cdot\frac{8}{9}=12$

The vehicle can travel 12 miles per gallon of gasoline

The denominator of a fraction is two more than the numerator. If both numerator and denominator are decreased by six, the simpli

ira [324]

Answer:

$\dfrac{40}{42}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator of the fraction=x

Since the denominator of a fraction is two more than the numerator.

Denominator=x+2

The fraction is therefore:

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}$

If both numerator and denominator are decreased by six, the fraction becomes:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}$

The simplified result is $\dfrac{17}{18}$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}=\dfrac{17}{18}\\$Next, we solve for x\\Cross multiply\\18(x-6)=17(x+2-6)\\18(x-6)=17(x-4)\\Expand the bracket\\18x-108=17x-68\\Collect like terms\\18x-17x=-68+108\\x=40$

Substituting x=40 into the initial fraction

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}=\dfrac{40}{40+2}=\dfrac{40}{42}$

Therefore, the original fraction is $\dfrac{40}{42}$

Which function is the same as y = 3 cosine (2 (x startfraction pi over 2 endfraction)) minus 2? y = 3 sine (2 (x startfraction p

kirza4 [7]

The function which is same as the function y = 3cos(2(x +π/2)) -2 is: Option A: y= 3sin(2(x + π/4)) - 2

<h3>How to convert sine of an angle to some angle of cosine?</h3>

We can use the fact that:

$\sin(\theta) = \cos(\pi/2 - \theta)\\\sin(\theta + \pi/2) = -\cos(\theta)\\\cos(\theta + \pi/2) = \sin(\theta)$

to convert the sine to cosine.

<h3>Which trigonometric functions are positive in which quadrant?</h3>

In first quadrant (0 < θ < π/2), all six trigonometric functions are positive.
In second quadrant(π/2 < θ < π), only sin and cosec are positive.
In the third quadrant (π < θ < 3π/2), only tangent and cotangent are positive.
In fourth (3π/2 < θ < 2π = 0), only cos and sec are positive.

(this all positive negative refers to the fact that if you use given angle as input to these functions, then what sign will these functions will evaluate based on in which quadrant does the given angle lies.)

Here, the given function is:

$y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2$

The options are:

$y= 3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$
$y= -3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$
$y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$
$y= -3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2$

Checking all the options one by one:

Option 1: $y= 3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$

$y= 3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2\\y= 3\sin (2x + \pi/2) -2\\y = -3\cos(2x) -2\\y = 3\cos(2x + \pi) -2\\y = 3\cos(2(x+ \pi/2)) -2$

(the last second step was the use of the fact that cos flips its sign after pi radian increment in its input)
Thus, this option is same as the given function.

Option 2: $y= -3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$

This option if would be true, then from option 1 and this option, we'd get:
$-3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2= -3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2\\2(3\sin(2(x + \pi/4))) = 0\\\sin(2(x + \pi/4) = 0$

which isn't true for all values of x.

Thus, this option is not same as the given function.

Option 3: $y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$

The given function is $y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2 = 3\cos(2x + \pi) -2 = -3\cos(2x) -2$

This option's function simplifies as:

$y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2 = 3\cos(2x + \pi/2) -2 = -3\sin(2x) - 2$

Thus, this option isn't true since $\sin(2x) \neq \cos(2x)$ always (they are equal for some values of x but not for all).

Option 4: $y= -3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2$

The given function simplifies to: $y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2 = 3\cos(2x + \pi) -2 = -3\cos(2x) -2$

The given option simplifies to:

$y= -3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2 = -3\cos(2x + \pi ) -2\\y = 3\cos(2x) -2$

Thus, this function is not same as the given function.

Thus, the function which is same as the function y = 3cos(2(x +π/2)) -2 is: Option A: y= 3sin(2(x + π/4)) - 2

Meaghan and Lily are dividing 43.61 by 7. Meaghan says that the first digit of the quotient is in the ones place. Lily says it i

Ivahew [28]

Answer: Meaghan is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a number like:

123.45

the tens place would be the "2" (second number at the left of the decimal point)

The ones place would be the "3" (first number at the left of the decimal point)

Let's suppose that Lily is correct.

Then the quotient of:

43.61/7

Will be a number with two digits in the left of the decimal point.

The smallest number that meets this condition, is the number 10.

Then let's see:

7*10 = 70

then:

70/7 = 10

and:

43.61 < 70

(70 is larger than 43.61)

then:

43.61/7 < 70/7 = 10

Then:

(43.61/7) < 10

This means that our quotient is smaller than 10, then the first digit of the quotient can not be on the tens place.

Then Meaghan is the correct one.

We also could perform the quotient to find:

43.61/7 = 6.23

So yes, Meaghan is correct.
