Concept explainers
In the U.S. fuel efficiency of cars is specified in miles per gallon (mpg). In Europe it is often expressed in liters per 100 km. Write a MATLAB user- defined
(a) Determine the fuel efficiency in liters per 100 km of a car whose fuel efficiency is 21 mi/gal.
(b) Determine the fuel efficiency in liters per 100km of a car whose fuel efficiency is 36 mi/gal.

- Assume the cost of a taxi is $2 per ride and $2.20 per mile. What function represents your total can fare? Be sure to indicate any domain restrictions.arrow_forwardUse function notation to represent 2.5 times as many miles on the road as the distance on the road that corresponds with 3 inches on the map.arrow_forwardAssume a car uses gas at a constant rate. After driving 25 miles since a full tank of gas was purchased, there was 9 gallons of gas left; after driving 70 miles since a full tank of gas was purchased, there was 7.2 gallons of gas left. Use a function to model the amount of gas in the tank (in gallons). Let the independent variable be the number of miles driven since a full tank of gas was purchased. Find this function’s domain and range in this context. My teacher is of little help and I've yet to find a way to learn how to solve this online.arrow_forward
- The thickness of ice y in the Gladstone Glacier was 450 feet in 1990. By 2005, the thickness had shrunk to 400 feet. Let x be the elapsed number of years since 1990. Write a linear function that models this data. Then use the function to find the given value. (Simplify your answer and round to TWO decimal places, including zeros as needed. Example: 2 should be written as 2.00. Do not include commas.) Estimate the year when the Gladstone Glacier will be 350 feet thick. (Round your answer to TWO decimal places, including zeros as needed. Example: 2 should be written as 2.00. Do not include commas.)arrow_forwardA cashier earns $7 an hour. If x is the number of hours worked, which function represents the cashier’s earnings?arrow_forwardThe price of 1 L of gasoline is $1.85. On a level road, Bruce's car uses 0.08 L of fuel for every kilometre driven. Using function composition, determine how much the gas costs to fuel the trip if Bruce drives 50 km. Clearly identify the individual component functions and simplified composite function.arrow_forward
- One of the largest sewing machines in the world has a flywheel (which turns as the machine sews) that is 5 feet in diameter. The highest point of the handle at the edge of the flywheel is 9 feet above the ground, and the lowest point is 4 feet. The wheel makes a complete turn every 2 seconds. Write a function h (in feet) of the handle as a function of time t (in seconds, given that the handle is at its lowest point when t=0.) f(x)= type your answer.arrow_forwardDifferentiate the functionarrow_forwardWrite the main ways functions are combined or transformed to form new functions?arrow_forward
- If 150 bags are demanded per month when the price is $75 per bag and the amount demanded fell to 100 bags are demanded when the price increased to $90.Derive the function for the demand of bags.arrow_forwardPut the following equation in function using v as the independent variablearrow_forwardIs the function one-to-one?
