Answer:

5.325 gallons or 5 \frac{13}{40}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given problem, Dr. Silva's tank holds up to 16 7/8 gallons = 16.875.  

Transform 7/8 into decimal: Divide the numerator by the denominator = 0.875. Add that to 16, and you'll have the full tank capacity of 16.875.  

Next, the prompt states that she filled 11.55 gallons' worth of gas. To find how much her tank had before she filled it, you could simply subtract the full tank capacity and the amount of gass added into the tank.

16.875 - 11.55 = 5.325 gallons or 5 \frac{13}{40} (13/40 is the same as 0.325).

In math how do you estimate?
shusha [124]
For example, if you are asked to estimate the sum of 545 + 723, you have to round the two numbers to the hundreds, so 545 would equal 500 and 723 would equal 700 

500 + 700 = 1200, which wud be the estimation f the sum

Five children know a secret. Every day, the number of children who know the secret doubles. There are 1,280 children in the scho
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the secret spread at a geometric rate we will use the geometric progression formulae

ar^n-1

First term = a= 5

common ratio is 2

For the nth term

5*2^n-1 = 1280 divide both sides of the equation with 5

2^n-1 = 256

2^n-1= 2^8

n-1 =8

n = 8+1

n=9

All the children will know the secret in 9 days

Alternatively

2nd day= 5*2^2-1

5*2^1=

5*2= 10

3rd day = 20

4th day= 40

5th day= 80

6th day = 160

7th day = 320

8th day =640

9th day =1280 children

At what point does the curve have maximum curvature? y = 9 ln(x) (x, y) =
Andrews [41]

y = 9ln(x) 
<span>y' = 9x^-1 =9/x</span>
y'' = -9x^-2 =-9/x^2

curvature k = |y''| / (1 + (y')^2)^(3/2) 

<span>= |-9/x^2| / (1 + (9/x)^2)^(3/2) 
= (9/x^2) / (1 + 81/x^2)^(3/2) 
= (9/x^2) / [(1/x^3) (x^2 + 81)^(3/2)] 
= 9x(x^2 + 81)^(-3/2). 

To maximize the curvature, </span>

we find where k' = 0. <span>
k' = 9 * (x^2 + 81)^(-3/2) + 9x * -3x(x^2 + 81)^(-5/2) 
...= 9(x^2 + 81)^(-5/2) [(x^2 + 81) - 3x^2] 
...= 9(81 - 2x^2)/(x^2 + 81)^(5/2) 

Setting k' = 0 yields x = ±9/√2. 

Since k' < 0 for x < -9/√2 and k' > 0 for x > -9/√2 (and less than 9/√2), 
we have a minimum at x = -9/√2. 

Since k' > 0 for x < 9/√2 (and greater than 9/√2) and k' < 0 for x > 9/√2, 
we have a maximum at x = 9/√2. </span>

x=9/√2=6.36

<span>y=9 ln(x)=9ln(6.36)=16.66</span>  

the answer is
(x,y)=(6.36,16.66)
