A freight train traveling along a certain route uses 12 units of fuel per mile plus an additional 2.2 units of fuel per mile for each railcar on the train. Let N represent the number of railcars on the train. What is an expression for f(N), the total number of units of fuel used per mile? find f(12). How many railcars does the train have if f(N)=34?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]38.4\ \text{units of fuel/mile}[/tex]

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]N[/tex] represent the number of rail cars on the train

Each rail car adds 2.2 units of fuel per mile.

Fixed fuel consumption is 12 units of fuel per mile

The function of fuel consumption per mile is

[tex]f(N)=12+2.2 N[/tex]

when

[tex]N=12[/tex]

[tex]f(12)=12+2.2\times 12\\\Rightarrow f(12)=38.4\ \text{units/mile}[/tex]

[tex]\boldsymbol{f(12)=38.4\ \text{units/mile}}[/tex]

[tex]f(N)=34\\\Rightarrow 12+2.2N=34\\\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{34-12}{2.2}\\\Rightarrow N=10[/tex]

So, the number of rail cars when [tex]f(N)=34[/tex] is 10.

Write the standard form of the equation of a line with a slope of 3 passing through the point (-1, -5).

Select one:
a. -x + 3y + 14 = 0
b. x - 3y - 14 = 0
c. 3x - y - 2 = 0
d. -3x + y + 2 = 0

Answers

Answer:

Step 1: We start by writing the equation of the line in slope-intercept form by solving for b.

[tex]-5 = 3(-1) + b\\\\-5 = -3 + b\\\\-2 = b\\[/tex]

Step 2: Now we set up the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

[tex]y = 3x - 2[/tex]

Step 3: We can now convert the above equation from slope-intercept form to standard form.

[tex]y = 3x - 2\\\\-3x + y = -2\\\\-3x + y + 2 = 0[/tex]

The equation of the line in standard form is: D: -3x + y + 2 = 0.

What does x =

Answers

Answer:x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+3=-15

Subtract 3 on both sides:

-2x+3-3=-15-3

-2x=-18

Divide -2 on both sides:

-2x/-2=-18/-2

x=9

If the expression (- 2x + 3) is equivalent to (- 15), then [x] is equivalent to 9.

What is a mathematical equation and expression?In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. The set X is called the domain of the function and the set Y is called the codomain of the function.Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators.A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions.

Given is the equation as follows -

- 2x + 3 = - 15

The given equation is -

- 2x + 3 = - 15

Solving, we get -

- 2x = - 15 - 3

- 2x = - 18

 2x = 18

 x = 9

Therefore, if the expression (- 2x + 3) is equivalent to (- 15), then [x] is equivalent to 9.

a lawnmower that regularly sells for %150 was discounted by 25% off.

Questions:

Markup?

Sale price?

Answers

To take 25% off, you want to do 1-.25 which equals .75. That means that you have to pay 75% of the cost after the 25% off discount.

Multiply the cost, 150, by .75 to find the new price after the discount.
150x.75=112.5

The price is now $112.50

x = 400 cm^2

Since the area of 1 face is 400 cm^2, then the side length is sqrt(400 cm^2) = 20 cm
