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

What is the first term of the expression?<br><br><br> −6xyz + 9xy + 12x + 18y <br><br> TIA!

tatyana61 [14]

For this case we have that by definition:

<em>The terms of a polynomial expression are those that are composed of coefficients and variables separated by signs of addition and subtraction. </em>

We then have the following expression:

$-6xyz + 9xy + 12x + 18y$

According to the definition, we can conclude that the first term is given by:

$-6xyz$

Answer:

The first term of the expression is:

$-6xyz$

A thin sheet of ice is in the form of a circle. If the ice is melting in such a way that the area of the sheet is decreasing at

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

dx/dt = 0,04 m/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the circle is:

A(c) =π*x² where x is a radius of the circle

Applying differentiation in relation to time we get:

dA(c)/dt = π*2*x* dx/dt

In this equation we know:

dA(c)/dt = 0,5 m²/sec

And are looking for dx/dt then

0,5 = 2*π*x*dx/dt when the area of the sheet is 12 m² (1)

When A(c) = 12 m² x = ??

A(c) = 12 = π*x² ⇒ 12 = 3.14* x² ⇒ 12/3.14 = x²

x² = 3,82 ⇒ x = √3,82 ⇒ x = 1,954 m

Finally plugging ths value in equation (1)

0,5 = 6,28*1,954*dx/dt

dx/dt = 0,5 /12.28

dx/dt = 0,04 m/sec

The picture below shows a box sliding down a ramp:

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

$AC=15.1\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

The function sine of angle 68 degrees is equal to divide the opposite side SB by the hypotenuse AC

so

$sin(68\°)=\frac{AB}{AC}$

substitute the values and solve for AC

$sin(68\°)=\frac{14}{AC}$

$AC=\frac{14}{sin(68\°)}$

$AC=15.1\ ft$

Carmela mixes 3/4 kilogram of walnuts, 1/2 kilogram of almonds, and 1/4 kilogram of pecans together. She divides the mixed nuts

Evgesh-ka [11]

Amount of walnuts= $\frac{3}{4} kg$

Amount of almonds= $\frac{1}{2} kg$

Amount of pecans= $\frac{1}{4} kg$

Total amount= $\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$

LCM is 4 so sum is = $\frac{3+2+1}{4}=\frac{6}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

As given, Carmela divides the mixed nuts into 3/10 kilogram bags so number of bags will be:

$\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{3}{10}}$

= $\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{10}{3}$ = 5

Hence, answer is 5 bags.

Complete the similarity statement for the two triangles shown. Enter your answer in the box. △XBR∼△ Two similar triangles B R X

Andreyy89

Answer:

Here, BRX and NJY are two triangles in which,

BR = 30 cm, RX = 40 cm, BX = 60 cm, NJ = 15 cm, JY = 20 cm and NY = 30 cm,

Also, m∠B = m∠N, m∠R = m∠J and m∠X = m∠Y,

By the property of congruence,

$\angle B \cong \angle N$ , $\angle R \cong \angle J$ and $\angle X \cong \angle Y$

Thus, By AAA similarity postulate,

$\triangle BRX\sim \triangle NJY$

Hence, proved.
