The fuel efficiency (mpg rating) for cars has been increasing steadily since 1980. The formula for a car's fuel efficiency for a

given year between 1980 and 1996 is E 0.36x + 15.9 where E is miles per gallon and z is the number of years after 1980. Note: Round your answers down to get the corresponding year. For instance, at 3.25, the year is 1983 .
a. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars less than 17 mpg (in interval form)?
b. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars more than 20 mpg (in interval form)?

Answer:

a) In the interval of [1980,1983].

b) In the interval of [1991, 1996].

Step-by-step explanation:

Fuel efficiency:

The fuel efficiency, for the cars, in x years after 1980, is given by:

E(x) = 0.36x + 15.9

15.9 is the fuel efficiency in 1980.

a. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars less than 17 mpg (in interval form)?

From 1980 to:

E(x) < 17

0.36x + 15.9 < 17

0.36x < 1.1

x < \frac{1.1}{0.36}

x < 3.06

3.06 = 1980 + 3 = 1983. So

In the interval of [1980,1983].

b. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars more than 20 mpg (in interval form)?

From x until 1996.

E(x) > 20

0.36x + 15.9 > 20

0.36x > 4.1

x > \frac{4.1}{0.36}

x > 11.38

11.38 = 1980 + 11 = 1991. So

In the interval of [1991, 1996].

For some math loving friends ​
shtirl [24]

The first step of finding the percent tip, we must find how much tip she paid:

     Tip = $38.61 - $33 = $5.61

To find the percent tip, we must divide the tip amount by the amount she paid before the tip

     $5.61 / $33 = 0.17 --> 17%

Thus the percent tip is 17%

Hope that helps!

Lines m and n are cut by transversal l. Lines m and n are cut by transversal l. On line m where it intersects line l, 4 angles a
Semmy [17]

∠1 and ∠8 are alternate exterior angles and ∠3 and ∠6 are alternate interior angles

step-by-step explanation:

When the transversal crosses line m and n, alternate angles are the pair of angles formed on the outside of each of the lines and opposite side of the transversal (∠1 and ∠8). However,alternate interior angles will form opposite of the transversal but inside the lines.(∠3 and ∠6 ).

What is the slope of the line for BOTH graphs? Are the slopes the same or different?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

both are -10

Step-by-step explanation:

#1

x1 y1  x2 y2

1.5 180  6 135

(Y2-Y1) (135)-(180)=   -45  ΔY -45

(X2-X1) (6)-(1.5)=    4.5  ΔX 4.5

slope= -10          

B= 195          

Y =-10X +195

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    

#2

x1 y1  x2 y2

1 175  8 105

   

(Y2-Y1) (105)-(175)=   -70  ΔY -70

(X2-X1) (8)-(1)=    7  ΔX 7

slope= -10          

B= 185          

Y =-10X +185
