G(h)    h

0        9

Equation of the line:

slope = [12-0]/[3-9] = 12 / -6 = -2

g / [h - 9] = -2

g = -2(h-9)

g = -2h + 18

g = 18 -2h

Filling the tank ==> h = 0

g = 18 - 2(0) = 18

Answer: first option g = 18 -2 h; 18

Answer:

Option B) 18, g = 18 - 2h

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

Number of hours spent driving (h):     3       5        7        9

      Amount of gas left in tank (g):      12     8        4        0  

We have to find the equation that models the amount of gas left in the car as Phan drives.

We can find the equation with the help of two-point form of equation of straight line.

The equation of line is given by:

(y-y_1) = \displaystyle\frac{y_2-y_2}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

where, (x_1,y_1), (x_2.y_2) is the point through which the line passes.

(9,0), (7,4)

The equation of line is:

(g-0) = \displaystyle\frac{4 - 0}{7-9}(h-9)\\\\-2g = 4h - 36\\\Rightarrow g = 18 - 2h

Gallons of gasoline required to fill the tank =

we put h = 0 in the equation.

g = 18 - 2h\\g = 18-2(0)\\g = 18

Thus, 18 gallons of gasoline is required to fill up the tank.

Option B) 18, g = 18 - 2h

Most cars get their best gas mileage when traveling at a relatively slow speed. The gas mileage M for a certain new car is model
NeTakaya
In this item, it is assumed that we are to determine the speed at which the car will have the best gas mileage. This can be done by deriving the equation and equating it to zero.

       M(s) = -1/28s² + 3s - 31

Deriving,
    dM(s) = (-1/28)(2s) + 3 = 0

                     s = 42

Hence, the speed at which the best mileage is achieved is mi/h.

At a family reunion, each of Sana aunts and uncles is getting photographed once, The aunts are taking pictures in groups of5 and
yaroslaw [1]

This question is based on least common multiple method.

As given in the question,

Aunts are taking pictures in group of = 5

Uncles are taking pictures in group of = 10

So we have been asked what is the minimum number of aunts Sana have.

As we have been given that the number of aunts and uncles is equal so to find the minimum number of aunts we will apply the least common multiple method.

So we get LCM of 5,10 as 10

Hence there are minimum 10 aunts.

Which shows a recursive and an explicit formula for a sequence whose initial term is 14 and whose common difference is −4? A. A(
liberstina [14]

Answer: A. A(1) = 14; A(n) = (n − 1) −4; A(n) = 14 + (n − 1)(−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence is a sequence that is identified by their common difference. Let a be the first term, n be the number of terms and d be the common difference.

For an arithmetic sequence, common difference 'd' is added to the preceding term to get its succeeding term. For example if a is the first term of a sequence, second term will be a+d, third term will give a+d+d and so on to generate sequence of the form,

a, a+d, a+3d, a+4d...

Notice that each new term keep increasing by a common difference 'd'

The nth term of the sequence Tn will therefore give Tn = a+(n-1)d

If the initial (first) term is 14 and common difference is -4, the nth of the sequence will be gotten by substituting a = 14 and d = -4 in the general formula to give;

Tn = 14+(n-1)-4 (which gives the required answer)

Tn = 14-4n+4

Tn = 18-4n

Find the volume of the composite space figure to the nearest whole number.
Alika [10]
Figure 1:
3 x 8 x 5 = 120cm³

Figure 2:
2 x 5 x 6 = 60cm³

Total Volume = 120 + 60 = 180cm³
