Question

The gas mileage for Peter's car is 21 miles per gallon when the car travels at an average speed of 50 miles per hour. The car's gas tank has 17 gallons of gas at the beginning of a trip. If. Peter's car travels at an average speed of 50 miles per hour, which of the following functions fmodels the number of gallons of gas remaining in the tank thours after the trip begins? 21 A. f(t) = 17 - 50T B. f(t) = 17 - 500 21 17-500 C. f(t) 17-210 50 D. f(t) = 21​

Answer 1

Answer:f(t)= 17- 50t/21

f(t)= 17- 50t/21

Explanation:

distance covered after t hours= 50t miles

number of gal.=50t×1/21 =50t/21 gal.

f(t)=starting-consuming= remaining

= 17-50t/21

Answer 2

f(t)= 17- 50t/21

Explanation:

distance covered after t hours= 50t miles

number of gal.=50t×1/21 =50t/21 gal.

f(t)=starting-consuming= remaining

= 17-50t/21
