Answer:

  a) -3 gallons per hour

  b) y = -3x +14

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change is computed by dividing the amount of change by the interval over which it occurred.

<h3>a)</h3>

Here the amount of gas decreased from 14 to 2 gallons, so a decrease of 14-2 = 12 gallons. That occurred over a 4-hour period, so the rate of change is (-12 gallons)/(4 hours) = -3 gallons/hour.

__

<h3>b)</h3>

The initial amount was 14 gallons, so the equation for the line describing remaining gas will be ...

  y = -3x +14 . . . . gas in the tank after x hours

Answer:4x^2+22x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

height=(2x+12)

base=(4x-2)

Area of =(base x height)/2

Area of =((4x-2)(2x+12))/2

Area of =(8x^2+48x-4x-24)/2

Area of =(8x^2+44x-24)/2

Area of =4x^2+22x-12

Prove that there are no positive perfect cubes less than 1000 that are the sum of the cubes of two positive integers?
valentina_108 [34]

The perfect cubes less than 1000 are: 

<span>1^3 = 1 </span>
<span>2^3 = 8 </span>
<span>3^3 = 27 </span>
<span>4^3 = 64 </span>
<span>5^3 = 125 </span>
<span>6^3 = 216 </span>
<span>7^3 = 343 </span>
<span>8^3 = 512 </span>
<span>9^3 = 729 
</span>
so 
<span>2^3 = 8 could only be 1 + 1, but this is 2, not 8. </span>
<span>3^3 = 27 could be 1 + 1, 1 + 8 or 8 + 8, but all of these are too small </span>
4^3 = 64 could be 1 + 1, 1 + 8, 1 + 27, 8 + 8, 8 + 27, 27 + 27.
<span> general proof that a^3 + b^3 = c^3 holds for no positive integers 
</span>hope it helps
