Bill’s car gets 30 miles to the gallon. For every gallon of gas it consumes, his car runs 30 miles. Use this information to determine whether this relation is a function
write a equation for the number of miles Bill travels, y, in terms how much gas it uses, x.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of miles driven in 1 gallon = 30 miles.

since we have to distance traveled in miles.multiply LHS and RHS by x

No. of miles driven in 1*x gallon = 30*x miles.

No. of miles driven x gallons = 30*x = 30x miles

As given that

the number of miles Bill travels is represented by y

gas used is x

then

y = 30x

=> x = y/30

Thus, Bill's car uses y/30 gallon gas to travel Y miles.

Answer:

Part a: Bill’s car travels 30 miles per gallon of gas. If y represents the number of miles the car travels on x gallons of gas, the equation that represents this situation is y = 30x.

Part b:       gallons of gas (x) miles (y)

                                    1         30

                                    2        60

                                    3        90

Part c: There is no x-value that would lead to multiple y-values.

Part d: Yes, y = 30x is a function, because for every input, or x-value, there is only one output, or y-value.
