Complete question is;
A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1850 miles, for a total gas consumption of 50 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?
Answer:
Car 1 consumed 30 gallons of gas.
Car 2 consumed 20 gallons of gas.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be number gallons consumed by car 1
Let y be number of gallons consumed by car 2
We are told that total gas consumption of 50 gallons. Thus;
x + y = 50 - - - - - eq(1)
We are told that the first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon of gas and they went a combined total of 1850 miles. Thus;
35x + 40y = 1850 - - - - eq2
Let's make y the subject in eq(1),
y = 50 - x - - - - eq(3)
Putting 50 - x for y in eq 2 gives;
35x + 40(50-x) = 1850
35x + 2000 - 40x = 1850
-5x + 2000 = 1850
-5x = -150
x = 150/5
x = 30 gallons
Substitute 30 for x into eq 3,we have;
y = 50 - 30
y = 20 gallons
Thus;
Car 1 consumed 30 gallons of gas.
Car 2 consumed 20 gallons of gas.

I need to find the derivative. I’m not very good at this so I am answer asap would be sosososo helpful
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, notice that this is a composition of functions. For instance, let's let [tex]f(x)=\sqrt{x}[/tex] and [tex]g(x)=7x^2+4x+1[/tex]. Then, the given equation is essentially [tex]f(g(x))=\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1}[/tex]. Thus, we can use the chain rule.
Recall the chain rule: [tex]\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)[/tex]. So, let's find the derivative of each function:
[tex]f(x)=\sqrt{x}=x^\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
We can use the Power Rule here:
[tex]f'(x)=(x^\frac{1}{2})'=\frac{1}{2}(x^{-\frac{1}{2} })=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}[/tex]
Now:
[tex]g(x)=7x^2+4x+1[/tex]
Again, use the Power Rule and Sum Rule
[tex]g'(x)=(7x^2+4x+1)'=(7x^2)'+(4x)'+(1)'=14x+4[/tex]
Now, we can put them together:
[tex]y'=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{g(x)}} \cdot (14x+4)[/tex]
[tex]y'=\frac{14x+4}{2\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1} } =\frac{7x+2}{\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1} }[/tex]
If A=2+i, O=-4, P=-i, and S=2+4i, find A-O+P+S.
==================================================
Work Shown:
A = 2+i
O = -4, this is the letter 'oh' not to be confused with the number zero
P = -i
S = 2+4i
A-O+P+S = (2+i) - (-4) + (-i) + (2+4i)
A-O+P+S = (2+i) + 4 + (-i) + (2+4i)
A-O+P+S = (2+4+2) + (i-i+4i)
A-O+P+S = 8+4i

In circle o, the length of radius OL is 6 cm and the length
of arc LM is 6.3 cm. The measure of angle MON is 75º.
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter, what is the
length of arc LMN?
L
0 7.9 cm
6.3 cm
O 10.2 cm
6 cm
M
0 12.6 cm
0 14.2 cm
0 75
N
Answer:
14.2cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram representing the circle and its attributes has been attached to this response.
As shown in the diagram;
The circle is centered at o,
The length of radius OL = 6cm
The length of the arc LM = 6.3cm
The angle MON = 75°
The angle LOM = θ
Remember that;
The length, L, of an arc is given by;
L = (θ / 360) x (2πr) -------------(i)
Where;
θ is the angle subtended by the arc
r = radius of the circle.
Using the formula in equation (i), let's calculate the angle θ subtended by arc LM as follows;
L = (θ / 360) x (2πr)
Where;
L = length of arc LM = 6.3cm
r = radius of the circle = length of radius OL = 6cm
Substitute these values into the equation to get;
6.3 = (θ / 360) x (2 x π x 6)
6.3 = (θ / 360) x (12 x π)
6.3 = (θ / 30) x (π) [Take π = 22/7]
6.3 = (θ / 30) x (22 / 7)
θ = [tex]\frac{6.3*30*7}{22}[/tex]
θ = 60.14°
Therefore, the angle subtended by arc LM is 60.14°
Now, from the diagram,
The angle subtended by arc LMN is;
θ + 75° = 60.14° + 75° = 135.14°
Let's now calculate the length of arc LMN using the same equation (i)
L = (θ / 360) x (2πr)
Where;
L = length of arc LMN
θ = angle subtended by LMN = 135.14°
r = radius of the circle = length of radius OL = 6cm
Substitute these values into the equation;
L = (135.14° / 360°) x (2 x π x 6) [Take π = 22/7]
L = 14.15cm
Therefore, the length of arc LMN is 14.2cm to the nearest tenth.

Marco is investigating some of the business models of SureSpin, one of Faster Fidget's top competitors. He has learned that they model their cost of production for one type of spinner with the function C(x) = 13,450 + 1.28x, where x is the number of spinners produced. Interpret the model to complete the statement. Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. Based on the model, the fixed cost of production is $
Answer:
$13,450
Step-by-step explanation:
The fixed costs of production, are the costs incurred that are independent from the production volume, that is, regardless of how many spinners the company produces, those costs will remain the same. If 'x' is the number of spinners produced, interpreting the cost function, we can see that it costs $1.28 to produce each spinner and that there is a cost that does not rely on production of $13,450. Therefore, the fixed cost of production is $13,450.

Their online readership has been increasing by 8 thousand people each year, while their physical paper sales have decreased by 6 thousand papers a year. In what year does online readership exceed physical sales?
Answer:
t = 5 years
online readership will exceed physical sales in 5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of physical readership can be represented by the equation;
P(t) = 120 - 6t
The number of Online readership can be represented by the equation;
K(t) = 60 + 8t
For online readership to exceed physical sales
K(t) > P(t)
60 + 8t > 120 - 6t

Answer:
3/5 or 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, given the value of tan theta , we want to find the value of sine theta
Mathematically;
tan theta = 0pposite/adjacent
Sine theta = opposite/hypotenuse
Firstly we need the length of the hypotenuse
This can be obtained using the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse equals sum of the squares of the two other sides.
Let’s call the hypotenuse h
h^2 = 3^2 + 4^2
h^2 = 9 + 16
h^2 = 25
h = √(25)
h = 5
Now from the tan theta, we know that the opposite is 3
Thus, the value of the sine theta = 3/5 or simply 0.6
Today there are 3,431 thousand elementary and secondary teachers employed in a certain country. This number is expected to increase to 3,732 thousand teachers by the next decade. What is the percent increase?
A = old value = 3431
B = new value = 3732
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (3732-3431)/3431 ] * 100%
C = (301/3431) * 100%
C = 0.0877 * 100%
C = 8.77%
Answer: Roughly an 8.77% increaseNote: if C was a negative value, then we'd have a percentage decrease
Ray and Kelsey have summer internships at an engineering firm. As part of their internship, they get to assist in the planning of a brand new roller coaster. For this assignment, you help Ray and Kelsey as they tackle the math behind some simple curves in the coaster's track.
Part A
The first part of Ray and Kelsey's roller coaster is a curved pattern that can be represented by a polynomial function.
Ray and Kelsey are working to graph a third-degree polynomial function that represents the first pattern in the coaster plan. Ray says the third-degree polynomial has 4 intercepts. Kelsey argues the function can have as many as 3 zeros only. Is there a way for the both of them to be correct? Explain your answer.
Kelsey has a list of possible functions. Pick one of the g(x) functions below and then describe to Kelsey the key features of g(x), including the end behavior, y-intercept, and zeros.
g(x) = x3 − x2 − 4x + 4
g(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 9x − 18
g(x) = x3 − 3x2 − 4x + 12
g(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 25x − 50
g(x) = 2x3 + 14x2 − 2x − 14
Create a graph of the polynomial function you selected from Question 2.
Part B
The second part of the new coaster is a parabola.
Ray needs help creating the second part of the coaster. Create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x) = ax2 + bx + c. Describe the direction of the parabola and determine the y-intercept and zeros.
The safety inspector notes that Ray also needs to plan for a vertical ladder through the center of the coaster's parabolic shape for access to the coaster to perform safety repairs. Find the vertex and the equation for the axis of symmetry of the parabola, showing your work, so Ray can include it in his coaster plan.
Create a graph of the polynomial function you created in Question 4.
Part C
Now that the curve pieces are determined, use those pieces as sections of a complete coaster. By hand or by using a drawing program, sketch a design of Ray and Kelsey's coaster that includes the shape of the g(x) and f(x) functions that you chose in the Parts A and B. You do not have to include the coordinate plane. You may arrange the functions in any order you choose, but label each section of the graph with the corresponding function for your instructor to view.
Part D
Create an ad campaign to promote Ray and Kelsey's roller coaster. It can be a 15-second advertisement for television or radio, an interview for a magazine or news report, or a song, poem, or slideshow presentation for a company. These are just examples; you are not limited to how you prepare your advertisement, so be creative. Make sure to include a script of what each of you will say if you are preparing an interview or a report. The purpose of this ad is to get everyone excited about the roller coaster.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
A 3rd degree polynomial can have no more than 3 x-intercepts or zeros. Kelsey is correct. However, Ray stated it had 4 intercepts which can include 3 x-intercept and 1 y-intercept.
Graph the function g(x) = x3 − x2 − 4x + 4. See attached picture.
It has x-intercepts at (-2,0), (1,0) and (2,0). The y-intercept is (0,4). As x-> -∞ then y -> -∞. As x->∞, y->∞.
Part B
Use the quadratic function f(x) = -x^2 - 6x. The parabola faces downward with y -intercept (-3,9) and zeros (-6,0) and (0,0). See the attached graph.
The axis of symmetry will serve as a ladder through the coaster at x = -3.
Part C and D will use the math above to create the coaster and ad campaign.

For what value of k will k + 9, 2k -1 and 2k + 7 are the consecutive terms of an A.P.?
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, k + 9, 2k -1 and 2k + 7 are the consecutive terms of an A.P.
Therefore, their common differences would be same.
Hence,
(2k - 1) - (k + 9) = (2k + 7) - (2k - 1)
2k - 1 - k - 9 = 2k + 7 - 2k + 1
k - 10 = 8
k = 8 + 10
k = 18

You own a restaurant and want to “carpet” the floor with coins. What kind of coin would you use and why? How much would it cost to cover the floor with the coin you chose? Explain your reasoning. Include calculations in your reasoning.
Answer: I would use pennies. It is the lowest cost per unit of area.
The cost of the "penny carpet" would be about $ 5,319
Step-by-step explanation:
Each penny is 19.05mm or 1.905cm in diameter 100 centimeters per meter, so 100/1.905 = 52.493 pennies per meter in width, Squared to find number per square meter: 52.493² = 2755.5
The total area of the floor is 23 × 12 in the main area and 3×3 in the entrance,
184 m² + 9 m² = 193 m² . Multiplied by the cost per square meter, $27.56
Total cost: $5,919
The closest comparison would be the nickel. At 2.121 cm, it would take slightly fewer coins per m² , about 2223, but at $0.05 each, the cost per m² is about $111.15. The nickel carpet would cost 4 times as much as the penny carpet.
