Answer:

  1. b

  2. For each 1000 miles driven, (a) saves 10.9 gallons, while (b) saves 19.8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel savings will depend on the miles driven. If we use 1000 miles as the reference, the various vehicle fuel usages are ...

  gallons = miles/(miles/gallon)

  18 mpg: 1000/18 = 55.6 gallons

  28 mpg: 1000/28 = 35.7 gallons

  34 mpg: 1000/34 = 29.4 gallons

  54 mpg: 1000/54 = 18.5 gallons

So, ...

  replacing 34 mpg with 54 mpg saves 29.4 -18.5 = 10.9 gallons.

  replacing 18 mpg with 28 mpg saves 55.6 -35.7 ≈ 19.8 gallons.

Replacing the SUV with a sedan saves more fuel, assuming all vehicles are driven the same distance.

__

The fuel use reduction from 18 mpg to 28 mpg is about 36%, whereas from 34 mpg to 54 mpg. the reduction is about 37%. The SUV replacement is a better choice because the smaller fraction of a much larger fuel use is still more savings than obtained by replacing the compact car.

A coordinate plane is shown. Triangle PQR has vertices P at negative 6 comma 6, Q at negative 6 comma 3, and R at negative 3 comma 3. Triangle P prime Q prime R prime has vertices at P prime negative 2 comma 2, Q prime at negative 2 comma 1, and R prime at negative 1 comma 1. What is the scale factor of dilation?

Answers

Answer:

The scale factor of dilation from ΔPQR to ΔP'Q'R' is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The vertices of ΔPQR are;

P(-6, 6), Q(-6, 3), and R(-3, 3) and the coordinates of ΔP'Q'R' are P'(-2, 2), Q'(-2, 1), and R'(-1, 1)

Given that the length, l, of each side of the triangles is given by the formula for calculating length given the vertices we have;

[tex]l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}}[/tex]

For side PQ, we have;

(x₁, y₁) = (-6, 6), (x₂, y₂) = (-6, 3)

Given that the points have equal y-values, the length is the difference of their x-values as follows;

[tex]l_{PQ}[/tex] = 6 - 3 = 3

Similarly, length QR is the difference in the y-values, since the x-values are equal. therefore, we have;

[tex]l_{QR}[/tex] = -3 - (-6) = 3

Length PR is given as follows;

(x₁, y₁) = (-6, 6), (x₂, y₂) = (-3, 3)

[tex]l_{PR} = \sqrt{\left (3-6 \right )^{2}+\left (-3-(-6) \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{18} = 3\cdot \sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]l_{PR}[/tex] = 3·√2

For P'Q', we have

P'(-2, 2), Q'(-2, 1)

[tex]l_{P'Q'}[/tex] = 2 - 1 = 1

[tex]l_{P'Q'}[/tex] = 1

For Q'R', we have

Q'(-2, 1), R'(-1, 1)

[tex]l_{Q'R'}[/tex] = -1 - (-2) = -1 + 2 = 1

[tex]l_{Q'R'}[/tex] = 1

For P'R', we have;

P'(-2, 2), R'(-1, 1)

[tex]l_{P'R'} = \sqrt{\left (1-2 \right )^{2}+\left (-1-(-2) \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]l_{P'R'}[/tex] = √2

Therefore, given that we have

PQ/(P'Q') = PR/(P'R') = 3/1 = 3 and QR/(Q'R') = 3·√2/(√2) = 3

The scale factor of dilation from ΔPQR to ΔP'Q'R' = 1/3.

1,100 miles traveled in 2 hours, 3,300 miles in 6 hours

if the plane is moving at a constant speed, to find the miles per hour divide the distance traveled over the time (1650/3). this would get you 550 miles per hour. So, to get the distances at the other times multiply the times by the speed to get distance traveled. (2*550) and (6*550)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\tt C. \ m \angle EBA=103}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

∠EBA is made up of 2 angles: ∠ABC and ∠EBC

If we want to find the measure of ∠EBA, we should add the measure of ∠ABC and ∠EBC.

m∠EBA= m∠ABC+m∠EBC

The measure of angle ABC is 72. The measure of angle EBC is 31. (m∠ABC=72 and m∠EBC=31)

m∠EBA= 72 + 31

Maggie‘s brother is 11 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is 54. How old is Maggie?

Answers

Answer:

Maggie is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly, I just kept trying ages starting from 10 because I knew it wasn't going to be less than that. Then I did whatever age, in this case 13, and multiply it by  4. Then minus 11 from that number. Then take that end number and add it to the beginning number(maggies age) and you should get 54.

Math Equation Explanation:

13*4 = 52                           (Maggies Age) x 4

52-11= 41                            The question stated that Maggie's brother was 11                                             -------------------------------------years younger than her age times 4.

What is the solution set of the equation below? 3|5 − x| + 2 = 29

Answers

Answer:

x=-4

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute Value Equation entered :

     3|5-x|+2=29

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

Rearrange this Absolute Value Equation

Absolute value equalitiy entered

     3|-x+5|+2 = 29

Another term is moved / added to the right hand side.

     3|-x+5| = 27

STEP

2

:

Clear the Absolute Value Bars

Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.

The Absolute Value term is 3|-x+5|

For the Negative case we'll use -3(-x+5)

For the Positive case we'll use 3(-x+5)

STEP

3

:

Solve the Negative Case

     -3(-x+5) = 27

    Multiply

     3x-15 = 27

    Rearrange and Add up

     3x = 42

    Divide both sides by 3

     x = 14

STEP

4

:

Solve the Positive Case

     3(-x+5) = 27

    Multiply

     -3x+15 = 27

    Rearrange and Add up

     -3x = 12

    Divide both sides by 3

     -x = 4

    Multiply both sides by (-1)

     x = -4

    Which is the solution for the Positive Case
