Answer:

$y=448-28x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of miles.

We have been given that Sully's car has an average fuel economy of 28 miles per gallon. The capacity of the fuel tank is 16 gallons.

Let us find the number of miles that Sully can drive with 16 gallons.

$\text{Number of miles Sully can drive}=\text{16 gallons}\times \frac{\text{28 miles}}{\text{gallon}}$

$\text{Number of miles Sully can drive}=\text{16}\times \text{28 miles}$

$\text{Number of miles Sully can drive}=448\text{ miles}$

This means that initially Sully's car has can drive 448 miles, so at x equals 0, y will be 448.

As the car consumes 1 gallon for each 28 miles driven, so the gallons of fuel consumed in traveling x miles will be 28x. As each gallon of fuel will decrease with each 28 miles traveled, so slope of our function will be -28.

Upon substituting slope and y-intercept in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), we will get our function as:

$y=448-28x$

Therefore, our required function will be: $y=448-28x$ .

When dividing with polynomials, the goal is to determine how many times the dividend divides evenly into the?

kkurt [141]

Whether dividing constant terms or polynomials, we always have definitive terms when it comes to division. Suppose we say, 10x divided by 2. The dividend is the 10x and the divisor is the 2. In other words, the dividend is the number to be divided by the divisor, to obtain the answer called the quotient.

When dividing polynomials, your main goal is to be able to divide the dividend evenly into the <em>divisor</em>. For example, we divide x²+2x+1 by x+1. The first thing you're going to focus is, what term will completely divide the first term of the polynomial? That would be x. Why? Because when you multiply x with x+1, the product is x²+x. When you subtract this from the polynomial, the x² will cancel out. All you have to do is subtract x from 2x, yielding x. Then, you carry down the last term of the equation: +1. You do the steps again. The term that will completely divide x+1 by x+1 is 1. When you subtract the two, you will come up with zero. That means there is no remainder. The polynomial is divisible by the divisor.
x + 1
------------------------------------
x+1| x²+2x+1
- x²+x

x +1

The standard deviation for the combined assignment is 5 minutes.

To combine the standard deviations, we use:

$\sigma_z=\sqrt{(\sigma_x)^2+(\sigma_y)^2}$

With our information, we have:
$\sigma_z=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}
\\
\\=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5$
