HELP!!!
A chemical manufacturer wants to lease a fleet of 26 railroad tank cars with a combined carrying capacity of 560,000 gallons. Tank cars with three different carrying capacities are​ available: 7,000 ​gallons, 14,000 ​gallons, and 28,000 gallons. How many of each type of tank car should be​ leased?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

16 of the 28,000 gallon tanks

6 of the 14,000 gallon tanks

4 of the 7000 gallon tanks

Step-by-step explanation:

ez

Answer 2

The tank should be leased by each quantity by 4 tank cars of  7000 gallons , 6 tank cars of 14000 gallons and 16 tank cars of 28000 gallons .

What is elimination method?

In the elimination method, we eliminate any one of the variables by using basic arithmetic operations and then simplify the equation to find the value of the other variable. Then we can put that value in any of the equations to find the value of the variable eliminated.

According to the question

Let Tank cars of 7000  ​gallons = x

Let Tank cars of 14000  ​gallons = y

Let Tank cars of 28000  ​gallons = z

A chemical manufacturer wants to lease a fleet of 26 railroad tank cars with a combined carrying capacity of 560,000 gallons.

i.e ,

x + y + z = 26 ---------------------------------------(1)

and

7000x + 14000y + 28000z = 560000  

x + 2y + 4z = 80  --------------------------------(2)

Now , solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method

x = 4

y = 6

z = 16

Hence, The tank should be leased by each quantity by 4 tank cars of  7000 gallons , 6 tank cars of 14000 gallons and 16 tank cars of 28000 gallons .

The graph of f(x)=x2 is horizontally stretched by a factor of 2 and then shifted to the left 2 units and down 4 units. Which equation describes the function g that results?

Answers

The equation of that function is:
y = (1/2 (x + 2) ) ^2 - 4

Using shifting concepts, it is found that function g is given by:

[tex]g(x) = \frac{x^2 - 4x - 12}{4}[/tex]

--------------

Horizontally stretching a function f(x) a units is the same as finding [tex]f(\frac{x}{a})[/tex]Shifting a function f(x) a units to the left is the same as finding f(x - a).Shifting a function f(x) down a units is the same as finding f(x) - a.

--------------

The parent function is:

[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

--------------

Horizontally stretching by a factor of 2.

[tex]f(\frac{x}{2}) = (\frac{x}{2})^2 = \frac{x^2}{4}[/tex]

--------------

Shifting left 2 units:

[tex]f(\frac{(x-2)}{2}) = \frac{(x - 2)^2}{4} = \frac{x^2 - 4x + 4}{4}[/tex]

--------------

Shifting down 4 units:

[tex]g(x) = f(\frac{(x-2)}{2}) - 4 = \frac{x^2 - 4x + 4}{4} - 4 = \frac{x^2 - 4x + 4}{4} - \frac{16}{4} = \frac{x^2 - 4x - 12}{4}[/tex]

If the cost of college tuition in 2010 was $6016 and in 2014 was $9139, then the average rate of change in tuition during this time period was $781/year. Do you agree or disagree​

Answers

If the cost of college tuition in 2010 was $6016 and in 2014 was $9139, then the average rate of change in tuition during this time period was $781/year. Do you agree or disagree​?

To find the average rate of change during this time period, you need to divide the amount, in dollars, of the difference between the years and divide it by the number of years the time period was.

In 2010, the cost of the tuition was $6,016. In 2014, the cost of the tuition was $9,139. First, you need to subtract to find the difference in tuition.

[tex]9,139-6,016=3,123[/tex]

The increase in tuition for this time period is $3,123. Now, you need to find the number of years it took to increase by $3,123.

[tex]2010 \rightarrow2014 = 4 \text{ years}[/tex]

That means it took four years to increase by $3,123. Lastly, you need to find the average rate of change. You can find this by dividing the amount of dollars(the tuition increased by) by the number of years it took to increase.

[tex]\frac{\text{amount of dollars}}{\text{number of years}} = \frac{\$3,123}{4} = \$780.75[/tex]

That means the average rate of change during this time period was $780.75. Rounded to the nearest whole number, it would be $781. Therefore, you can agree that the average rate of change during this time was $781/year.

I Agree

Write it slope intercept form:
Slope= -1 Y intercept= 8

Answers

Answer:

y = -x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We are given that the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 8. We are asked to write the information in slope-intercept form. To do this, lets plug in -1 for m, the slope, and 8 for b, the y-intercept, into the equation for slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

y = -1x + 8

y = -x + 8

So the slope intercept form would be y = -x + 8.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Slope is -1 and Y inercept is 8 so the slope is y=-x+8.

The most a baker can spend on strawberries is $95.00. Strawberries cost $3.99 per pound, and the produce supplier charges a $15.20 delivery fee. The following inequality, where s stands for the number of pounds of strawberries, represents this situation:

In the cafeteria, 100 milk cartons were put out for breakfast. After breakfast there were 40 milk cartons left. What is the ratio of milk cartons taken to total milk cartons put out for breakfast.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 100 milk cartons there and someone took 100-x=40.  Add 100 on both sides 40-100=-60 so 60 milk cartons were taken.  So the ratio would be 60:100, which can be simplified further 30:50 15:25 3:5.

Researchers at Mississippi State University were studying the impact of different environmental sounds on ecosystems. For their study, they created 333 similar ecosystems in their lab containing a variety of insects and plants. They randomly assigned each ecosystem to be exposed to rock music, country music, or a conventional city soundscape for two consecutive weeks. At the end of the study, they measured how successful the species were in each ecosystem. What type of experiment design is this?

Answers

Answer:

The experiment design used in this case is the between-subjected design.

Step-by-step explanation:

Between-subject design is a sort of experimental design where the individuals of an experiment are allocated to varied situations, with each individual being treated with only one of the experimental conditions.

In this case three similar ecosystems are designed containing a variety of insects and plants. Then each ecosystem to be exposed to rock music, country music, or a conventional city soundscape for two consecutive weeks.

Then after two weeks period they measured how successful the species were in each ecosystem.

The experiment design used in this case is the between-subjected design.

Answer:

A completely randomized design

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 ecosystems were each randomly assigned a treatment. They were not grouped in any way with random assignment happening within each group, so this is a completely randomized design. (From Kahn)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the three 1,167 values together and you get 3,501. Then, because we know a portion of the three blocks is equal to 239, add it so when we solve for R, 239 is subtracted from the total.

As for solving it,

Subtract 239 on both sides, and R is 3501-239 = 3262
