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.

liraira [26]

Answer:

  200 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The dose (d) is proportional to amount of fluid received, so ...

  d/(600 mL) = (400 mg)/(1200 mL)

  d = (600 mL)(400 mg)/(1200 ml)

  d = 200 mg

The patient received 200 mg of drug.

Solve the inequality, -4 less than 4(6y-12)-2y
erastova [34]

-4 < 4(6y - 12) - 2y

<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>

-4 < 24y - 48 - 2y

<em><u>Combine like terms.</u></em>

-4 < 22y - 48

<em><u>Add 48 to both sides.</u></em>

44 < 22y

<em><u>Divide both sides by 22.</u></em>

2 < y

The value of y is greater than the value of 2.
