00cm. Was her estimate a little too large or a little too small? Why?

makvit [3.9K]

(a) Predicate: 10d is an integer

The domain is \mathbb{Z}. In fact, integers are closed under multiplication, and 10 is an integer. So, if d is an integer, 10d is a multiplication between integers, and thus an integer.

(c) 1\leq x^2\leq 4

Since 1 and 4 are both squares, we have

1\leq x^2 \leq 4 \iff 1^2\leq x^2 \leq 2^2

And we deduce that x must be between 1 and 2. But since negative numbers become positive when squared, the numbers between -2 and -1 are also fine. So, the domain is

[-2,-1]\cup [1,2]

Predicates (b) and (d) are identical to (a) and (c)

Maxis taking a cross-country road trip. Gas prices vary as the friends travel across the US from $4 dollars per gallon on the ea
Zolol [24]

Answer:

A) The amount of gas they bought on each coast;

East Coast = 35 gallons

Mid-US = 100 gallons

West Coast = 15 gallons

B) The amount of gas they bought on each coast on the return journey;

East Coast = 37 gallons

Mid-US = 116 gallons

West Coast = 21 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

Maxis taking a cross-country road trip. Gas prices vary as the friends travel across the US from $4 dollars per gallon on the east coast to $3 in the mid-US, to $5 on the west coast.

(a) If they used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined, and they spend $515 on gas to purchased 150 gallons of gas, how many gallons of gas did they buy at each price?

The answer to this question is East Coast - 35 gal, Mid-US - 100 gal, West Coast - 15 gal.

(b) On their way back they had more baggage in the car and spend $601 for 174 gallons of gas. Based on the same ratio as in Part (a), how many gallons of gas did they buy at each price? I don't know the answer to this one

Solution

Let the amount of fuel bought on the east coast = x gallons

Let the amount of fuel bought on the mid-coast = y gallons

Let the amount of fuel bought on the west coast = z gallons

a) - They used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined

y = 2(x + z) = 2x + 2z (eqn 1)

- They spend $515 on gas to purchase 150 gallons of gas.

Total gallons purchased = x + y + z = 150

Total amount spent = 4x + 3y + 5z = 515

From eqn 1, y = 2x + 2z, inserting this value for y in the 2 other equations

x + y + z = x + 2x + 2z + z = 150

3x + 3z = 150

Divide through by 3

x + z = 50 (eqn *)

4x + 3y + 5z = 4x + 3(2x + 2z) + 5z = 515

4x + 6x + 6z + 5z = 515

10x + 11z = 515 (eqn **)

x + z = 50

10x + 11z = 515

Solving the simultaneous equation,

x = 35 gallons

z = 15 gallons

y = 2x + 2z = 2(35 + 15) = 100 gallons

B) On the return journey, the ratio between x, y and z is still the same, but the total gallons and total amount spent is now different.

They used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined

y = 2(x + z) = 2x + 2z (eqn 1)

- They spend $601 on gas to purchase 174 gallons of gas.

Total gallons purchased = x + y + z = 174

Total amount spent = 4x + 3y + 5z = 601

From eqn 1, y = 2x + 2z, inserting this value for y in the 2 other equations

x + y + z = x + 2x + 2z + z = 174

3x + 3z = 174

Divide through by 3

x + z = 58 (eqn *)

4x + 3y + 5z = 4x + 3(2x + 2z) + 5z = 601

4x + 6x + 6z + 5z = 601

10x + 11z = 601 (eqn **)

x + z = 58

10x + 11z = 601

Solving the simultaneous equation,

x = 37 gallons

z = 21 gallons

y = 2x + 2z = 2(37 + 21) = 116 gallons

Hope this Helps!!!

andriy [413]

The correct format of the question is

At the end of 2006, the population of Riverside was 400 people. The population for this small town can be modeled by the equation below, where t represents the number of years since the end of 2006 and P represents the number of people. P = 400 ( 1.2 )^ t Based on this model, approximately what was the increase in the population of Riverside at the end of 2009 compared to the end of 2006?

(A) 291

(B) 691

(C) 1040

(D) 1440

Answer:

The increase in the population at the end of 2009 is 291 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation as P = 400 ( 1.2 )^ t

where

P = No of People

t= No of Years

it is given that in the year 2006 the population is 400

this will only happen when we take t= 0

so for

Year    value of t

2006-    t = 0

2007-    t  = 1

2008-    t = 2

2009     t = 3

No of people in 2009 will be

P = 400(1.2)^3

     = 400*1.728

   P  = 691.2

Since the equation represents no of people so it can't be in decimals, Therefore the population will be 691

Increase = P(2009) - P(2006)

               = 691 - 400

                = 291

The increase in the population at the end of 2009 is 291 people.
