Step 1
The x-axis represents "Hours (x)". The y-axis represents "Gallons of Gas (in tens, y)". This means if the y-value is 10, it represents 10 * 10 = 100 gallons. If the y-value is 20, it represents 20 * 10 = 200 gallons. The line on the graph shows the gas remaining Show more…

(c) What is the average number of gallons of gasoline in the tank from t = 4 to t = 6? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) gal (d) How many gallons of gasoline are in the tank at time t = 7? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) gal (e) Express the number of gallons G(x) of gasoline in the tank at time t = x as a function of x defined by an integral. (Use E in place of E(t) and L in place of L(t).) G(x) = (f) At what time t (in hours), 0 ≤ t ≤ 10, is the number of gallons of gasoline in the tank an absolute minimum? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) t = hrs Justify your answer. The absolute minimum value of G over the interval occurs at the smallest value of G(x) evaluated at the ---Select--- in the interval. (g) Write, but do not solve, an equation that could be used to determine the time t = k, 0 ≤ k ≤ 10, for which there are 219 gallons of gasoline in the tank. G(k) =

Suppose you start with a full tank of gas (17 gallons) in your truck. After driving 5 hours, you now have 2 gallons left. If x is the number of hours you have been driving, then y is the number of gallons left in the tank. At what rate is your truck using gas? State your answer as a reduced fraction. gallons per hour Find an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b that describes the amount of gas in your tank.
