Answer:

Miles: 35; Gallons: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of gallons can be any number of your choosing that is less than 12, which is the capacity of the tank. For the purpose here, 1 is a convenient number. To find the corresponding number of miles (m), you need to solve the proportion ...

420/12 = m/1

35 = m

(miles, gallons) = (35, 1) . . . a suitable choice for the table values

<em>Additional comment</em>

If your sense of symmetry is offended by choosing 1 for Gallons, you can choose 10, a number halfway between 12 and 8. In that case, your proportion is ...

420/12 = m/10 ⇒ m = 350

Then, your entry would be ...

(miles, gallons) = (350, 10)

Given that 3^x = 4^y = 12^z, show that z = (xy)/(x+y).

irinina [24]

$3^{x} = 4^{y} = 12^{z}$
$3^{x} = 4^{y} = (4 \cdot 3)^{z}$
$3^{x} = 4^{y} = 4^{z} \cdot 3^{z}$

$\text{Let a } = 3^{x} = 4^{y} = 4^{z} \cdot 3^{z}$
$log_3a = x$
$log_4a = y$
$log_{(4 \cdot 3)}a = z$

Using change of base:
$x = \frac{lna}{ln3}$
$y = \frac{lna}{ln4}$
$z = \frac{lna}{ln(4 \cdot 3)}$

$ln3 = \frac{lna}{x}$
$ln4 = \frac{lna}{y}$
$ln(4 \cdot 3) = \frac{lna}{z}$

Now, ln(4 · 3) = ln(4) + ln(3)

$\frac{lna}{z} = \frac{lna}{x} + \frac{lna}{y}$
$\frac{1}{z} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y}$
$\frac{1}{z} = \frac{x + y}{xy}$

$\therefore z = \frac{xy}{x + y}$

Two trains leave stations 560 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 90 miles per hour

lana [24]

Answer: the two trains will meet in 2.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Speed of train A = 90mph

Speed of train B = 110 mph

Since both trains are travelling towards each other , their effective speed will be= 90 mph + 110mph= 200mph

Step 2

we know that Speed = distance / time

therefore Time = Distance / speed

Distance = 560 miles

Speed = 200 mph

Time = 560miles / 200mph

2.8 hours

A fishing boat lies 200 m due south of a large tree on the shoreline and 300 m southwest of the dock. The shoreline runs East to

use Pythagorean Theorem to satisfy...a^2 + b^2 = c^2

200^2 + b^2 = 300^2
b^2 = 300^2 - 200^2
b^2 = 50000 (get square root of each)
b = 223.606 (rounded to the nearest tenth.... = 223.6
