Suppose you budgeted $2800 for fuel expenses for the year. How many miles could you drive if gas were $2.70 per gallon and your

vehicle averaged 28 mi/gal?

Answer:

29037.036 miles

Step-by-step explanation

There are two possible ways to solve this problem.

The first option starts with the $2800 dollars for the years. You first want to divide this by $2.70, because it will give you the amount of gallons of gas you can buy with that money.

2800/2.70 = 1037.037

This means you can buy 1037.037 gallons of gas in the year. Now you need to convert this to miles by multiplying by the amount of miles per gallon.

1037.037 x 28 = 29037.036 gallons

The second way to look at this is dimensional analysis. If you have learned this, then continue on reading this, but if you haven't I might only confuse you. I only suggest this because it can make it a little easier.

For the dimensional analysis, you need to start with what you are given and move to what you need to know, so you will start with the $2800 dollars and move to gallons. $2.70 per gallon and 28 miles per gallon are your conversion factors.

Set it up like this:

2800 dollars  * \frac{1 gallon}{2.70 dollars} * \frac{28 miles}{1 gallon}  = 29037.036 miles

This allows the equation to be more organized, and you can check your work by canceling the units.

Hope this helps.

Two standardized​ tests, a and​ b, use very different scales of scores. the formula upper a equals 40 times upper b plus 50a=40×
Leona [35]
Adding (or subtracting) a constant to every data value adds (or subtracts) the same constant to measures of position such as center,percentiles, max or min.

Its shape and spread such as range, IQR, standard deviation remain unchanged.
When we multiply (or divide) all the data values by any constant, all measures of position (such as the mean, median, and percentiles) and measures of spread (such as the range, the IQR, and the standard deviation) are multiplied (or divided) by that same constant.
Part A:

The lowest score is a measure of location, so both addition and multiplying the lowest score of test B by 40 and adding 50 to the result will affect the lowest score of test A.

Thus, the lowest score of test A is given by 40(21) + 50 = 890

Therefore, the lowest score of test A is 890.



Part B:

The mean score is a measure of location, so both addition and multiplying the mean score of test B by 40 and adding 50 to the result will affect the lowest score of test A.

Thus, the mean score of test A is given by 40(29) + 50 = 1,210

Therefore, the mean score of test A is 890.



Part C:

The standard deviation is a measure of spread, so multiplying the standard deviation of test B by 40 will affect the standard deviation but adding 50 to the result will not affect the standard deviation of test A.

Thus, the standard deviation of test A is given by 40(2) = 80

Therefore, the standard deviation of test A is 80.



Part D

The Q3 score is a measure of location, so both addition and multiplying the Q3 score of test B by 40 and adding 50 to the result will affect the Q3 score of test A.

Thus, the Q3 score of test A is given by 40(28) + 50 = 1,170

Therefore, the Q3 score of test a is 1,170.



Part E:

The median score is a measure of location, so both addition and multiplying the median score of test B by 40 and adding 50 to the result will affect the median score of test A.

Thus, the median score of test A is given by 40(26) + 50 = 1,090

Therefore, the median score of test A is 1,090.



Part F:

The IQR is a measure of spread, so multiplying the IQR of test B by 40 will affect the IQR but adding 50 to the result will not affect the IQR of test A.

Thus, the IQR of test A is given by 40(6) = 240

Therefore, the IQR of test A is 240.

Calculate 6+9i/-1+4i
lisabon 2012 [21]

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:

\dfrac{6+9i}{-1+4i} \times \dfrac{-1-4i}{-1-4i} = \dfrac{(6+9i)(-1-4i)}{(-1)^2-(4i)^2}

Simplify:

\dfrac{(6+9i)(-1-4i)}{(-1)^2-(4i)^2} = \dfrac{-6-9i-24i-36i^2}{1-16i^2} = \dfrac{-6-33i-36i^2}{1-16i^2} = \dfrac{-6-33i+36}{1+16} = \boxed{\dfrac{30-33i}{17}}

The range of which function includes –4?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The function f(x)=\sqrt{x-5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Range of any function is complete set of all possible resulting values of the dependent variable , after substituting the domain.

so, the function f(x)=\sqrt{x-5} has range f(x)$\geq$ -5

This includes - 4 .

Hence, the function is f(x)=\sqrt{x-5} .
