Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When car

rying gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs pounds. When carrying gallons of fuel, it weighs pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying gallons of fuel?

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When carrying 15 gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs 2187 pounds. When carrying 35 gallons of fuel, it weighs 2303 pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying 50 gallons of fuel?

----

You have two points relating fuel and weight.

(15,2187) and (35,2303)

------------

slope = (2303-2187)/(35-15) = 5.8

----

intercept = ?

2187 = 5.8*15 + b

b = 2100

-------

Equation:

f(x) = 5.8x + 2100

---

f(50) = 2390 lbs.

I don't know how to do the problem 6^4 x 10^2 over 6^2 x 2^4.<br> Do you think you could help?
marshall27 [118]
The answer to your question is:  Yes, I think I could help". 
Thank you for the points.

================================

(6^4 x 10^2) / (6^2 x 2^4)

Divide the numerator and denominator by  6^2 ,

(6^2 x 10^2) / (2^4)

6^2  =  36
10^2  =  100
2^4  =  16

Plug these equivalents into the fraction:

(36 x 100) / 16  =  3600 / 16  =  <em>225 </em>.

Answer:

x=26/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would multiply both sides by 2

then you woud end up with 6x- 14 = x+12

then combine like terms subtract x on both sides

5x=26 then divide both sides by 5

x=26/5

Rework problem 7 from section 3.2 of your text, about independent events A and B in a sample space S, but assume that Pr[A]=0.25
NikAS [45]

Answer:

A and B in a sample space S, but assume that Pr[A] = 0.25, Pr[B] = 0.15, and Pr[A∩ B] = 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

pr[A/B]=pr[AnB]/pr[B]=0.1/0.15=0.666

pr[B/A]=pr[BnA]pr[A]=0.1/0.25=0.4
