The Beechcraft 1900D is a commuter airplane with a fuel capacity of 665 gallons. The function that represents how the amount of

fuel changes as a function of distance flown is f(x)=−0.9x+665, where x represents miles flown, and f(x) represents the amount of fuel remaining. What is the rate of change for this scenario?

Given:

The  function that represents how the amount of fuel changes as a function of distance flown is

f(x)=-0.9x+665

where x represents miles flown, and f(x) represents the amount of fuel remaining.

To find:

The rate of change for this scenario.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a linear function is

y=mx+b        ...(i)

Where, m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept.

We have,

f(x)=-0.9x+665        ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=-0.9

Therefore, the rate of change for this scenario is -0.9. It means, the amount of fuel in the airplane is decreasing by 0.9 gallons per mile.

Garrett is 3 years older than Rachael. In 2 years the sum of their ages will be 39. How old is Garrett now?
ziro4ka [17]
Let garret’s age be x

x + 2 + (x + 3) + 2 = 39
2x + 7 = 39
2x = 32
x = 32/2
x = 16

Garrett’s age after two years = 16 + 2 = 18

How to calculate the diameter of cylinder if you are given volume of 1000Litre and 224cm height ​
Afina-wow [57]

well, let's first notice, all our dimensions or measures must be using the same unit, so could convert the height to liters or the liters to centimeters, well hmm let's convert the volume of 1000 litres to cubic centimeters, keeping in mind that there are 1000 cm³ in 1 litre.

well, 1000 * 1000 = 1,000,000 cm³, so that's 1000 litres.

\textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\ V=\pi r^2 h~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ V=1000000~cm^3\\ h=224~cm \end{cases}\implies \stackrel{cm^3}{1000000}=\pi r^2(\stackrel{cm}{224}) \\\\\\ \cfrac{1000000}{224\pi }=r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{1000000}{224\pi }}=r\implies \cfrac{1000}{\sqrt{224\pi }}=r\implies \stackrel{cm}{37.7}\approx r

now, we could have included the "cm³ and cm" units for the volume as well as the height in the calculations, and their simplication will have been just the "cm" anyway.
