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.

Answer:

a. sine StartFraction pi Over 3 EndFraction = StartFraction opposite Over hypotenuse EndFractionEquals StartFraction opposite Over 1 EndFraction  Equals opposite

The length opposite the angle is the vertical distance from the x-axis on the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin (π/3) = opposite/hypotenuse = opposite/1; The length opposite the angle is the vertical distance from the x-axis on the graph.

What is the trigonometric ratio of unit circle?

Unit circle is a circle centered at the origin, (0,0) with radius(r) i.,e r= 1.

The angle π/3 forms an arc of length S and the x-axis and y-axis divide the coordinate plane and the unit circle as it is centered at (0.0).

Also, the terminal side intersect the circle at (x, y). Thus;

sin (π/3) = opposite/hypotenuse = opposite/1

Thus;

sin (π/3) = opposite

Also, the length opposite the angle is the vertical distance from the x-axis on the graph.

It took everly 55 minutes to run a 10-kilometer race last weekend. If you know that 1 kilometer equals 0.621 mile, how many mintues did it take everly to run 1 mile during the race?

Answers

Answer:

8.9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting Everly Kilometer race to miles

1 km = 0.621 miles

10 km =

10 × 0.621 miles

= 6.21 miles

Hence,

6.21 miles = 55 minutes

1 mile = x minutes

Cross Multiply

6.21 × x = 55 × 1

x = 55 minutes/6.21

x = 8.8566827697 minutes

Approximately = 8.9 minutes

A line passes through (1, –5) and (–3, 7). a. Write an equation for the line in point-slope form. b. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

Point-slope form: y + 5 = 13/-4 (x-1)

Slope-intercept form:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so first to find the equation in point-slope form, you need to find the slope. So, the slope would be 7- (-5)/-3-1 , which is 13/-4. That is your slope, or m. Now, for point-slope form, you have the equation y - y1 = 13/-4 (x-x1). Now, you take one of your points, say (1, -5), and you put it into the equation. So your point-slope form equation would be y - (-5) = 13/-4 (x - 1). This would simplify to y + 5 = 13/-4(x - 1).

Now for slope-intercept form, you have m, the slope, which is 13/-4. Substituting that into the equation, you have y = 13/-4x + b. To find b, you substitute one of your coordinates into the equation. For example, (1, -5). Then you have -5 = (13/-4 * 1) +b. Simplify this, and you have b = -5+ 13/-4, which is -20/4 + 13/-4, which is -20/4 - 13/4 = -33/4. So your final equation is y = 13/-4x - 33/4.

Hope that helped.
