l tank, n, in terms of the number of miles xthat Jim has driven since filling his tank.

Considering that the car does 50 miles per gallon, the linear function for the number of gallons of fuel in Jim's fuel tank, n, in terms of the number of miles x that Jim has driven since filling his tank is given by:

y = -0.02x + 14

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem:

  • Jim's car holds 14 gallons of fuel, hence b = 14.
  • Considering it does 50 miles per gallon, and the amount in the tank will decrease, the slope is m = -\frac{1}{50} = -0.02.

Hence, the function is:

y = -0.02x + 14

Carmen runs 7 miles in 60 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 24 minutes?
zhuklara [117]
Hey there,
60 minutes = 7 miles
1 minute = 7 / 60  
               = 7/60
24 minutes = 7/60 x 24
                   =2.8 miles

Hope this helps :))

Which special case is represented by x? - 121?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

A. the difference of two squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use the symbol " ^ " to indicate exponentiation.

Then we have x^2 - 11^2, which is the difference of two squares:

x^2 is a square, the square of x; and 11^2 is a square, the square of 11.

A. the difference of two squares

Note that a "difference of squares" is easily factored:

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

and so your x² - 11² factors as follows:  (x - 11)(x + 11)

Graph f(x) =x and g(x) =-1/3x+2
Serjik [45]
Hello! I'll write the instructions to graph these functions.

f(x)=x
Technically, this function is y=x, so the slope would be 1. To graph this one, start at the origin (0,0) and move up one unit, and to the right one unit since this is a positive slope.

g(x)= -1/3x+2
First, plot a point at y=2 when x=0. 2 is your y-intercept. Your slope is negative, so the line will be decreasing. From your first point, head down 1 unit and to the right 3 units. Continue plotting points from the previous points.

Also, if you have a graphing calculator, here are the steps to graphing the functions: ON, Y= (enter your functions), and press GRAPH or 2nd, TABLE to see individual points. Hope this helps! :)
