At a gas station the price of gas is $2.40 a gallon. Draw a graph to represent the relationship between the cost of gas and the

volume purchase. Also write an equation using Y= MX + B form.

Answer:

Part A) The graph in the attached figure

Part B) $y=2.40x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y------> the price of gas

x-----> the volume of gas purchase

we know that

The relationship between the cost of gas and the volume purchase represent a direct variation and remember that a relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem the constant of proportionality k is equal to

$m=k=2.40\frac{\$}{gallon}$

and the y-intercept b is equal to zero because the line passes through the origin

$b=0$

therefore

the linear equation is

$y=2.40x+0$

$y=2.40x$

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The height of a stuntperson jumping off a building that is 20 m high is modeled by the equation h = 20 -57, where t is the time

cupoosta [38]

A stuntman jumping off a 20-m-high building is modeled by the equation h = 20 – 5t2, where t is the time in seconds. A high-speed camera is ready to film him between 15 m and 10 m above the ground. For which interval of time should the camera film him?

Answer:

$1\leq t\geq \sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A stuntman jumping off a 20-m-high building is modeled by the equation

$h =20-5t^{2}$ -----------(1)

A high-speed camera is ready to making film between 15 m and 10 m above the ground

when the stuntman is 15m above the ground.

height $h = 15m$

Put height value in equation 1

$15 =20-5t^{2}$

$5t^{2} =20-15$

$5t^{2} =5$

$t^{2} =1$

$t =\pm1$

We know that the time is always positive, therefore $t=1$

when the stuntman is 10m above the ground.

height $h = 10m$

Put height value in equation 1

$10 =20-5t^{2}$

$5t^{2} =20-10$

$5t^{2} =10$

$t^{2} =\frac{10}{5}$

$t^{2} =2$

$t=\pm\sqrt{2}$

$t=\sqrt{2}$

Therefore ,time interval of camera film him is $1\leq t\geq \sqrt{2}$

Mark has a 25 ounce drink. He drinks 5 ounces. What percent of the drink does he have left?

valina [46]

Answer: $80\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by the <u>Rule of Three</u>, which is a mathematical rule to find out an amount that is with another quantity given in the same relation as other two also known.

In this case, the 25 ounce drink represents the $100 \%$ . So, if Mark drinks 5 ounces, this means he has 20 ounces left and we have to find the percent this represents:

$25 oz$ ------- $100\%$

$20 oz$ -------- $?$

$?=\frac{(20 oz)(100\%)}{25 oz}$

$?=80\%$ This is the percent of the drink Mark has left

Flura [38]

Answer:

$9 for 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the price by the quantity to receive the unit price. Here are the unit prices for each option:

1. $0.54

2. $0.43

3. $0.31

4. $0.28

5. $0.25

Basically, you want the lowest price. So, $9 for 36 is the best value because it costs $0.25 per pen.
