The lung capacity of the blue whale is 5100L. Convert this volume into gallons. Express your answer to two significant figures a
1 answer:
By definition, we have that the conversion of a US gallon to liters is given by:
1 liter = 3.78541 gallons
Therefore, we can apply the following rule of three:
1 liter ---------------------> 3.78541 gallons
5100 liters --------------> x
Clearing x we have:
two significant figures:

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
1) Foci is plural for Focus. Since a hyperbola has two focus points, they are referred to as foci. The foci is where the sum of the distances from any point on the curve to the foci is constant.
2) When determining the equation of a hyperbola you need the following:
a) does the hyperbola open up or to the right?
b) what is the center (h, k) of the hyperbola?
c) What is the slope of the asymptotes of the hyperbola?
3) The equation of a hyperbola is:
- (h, k) is the center of the hyperbola
- ± b/a is the slope of the line of the asymptotes
- The equation starts with the "x" if it opens to the right and "y" if it opens up
The statements about the function that are true are
- The vertex of the function is at (–3,–16).
- The graph is increasing on the interval x > –3.
- The graph is positive only on the intervals where x < –7 and where x > 1.
The equation of the graph is given as
f(x) = (x - 1)(x + 7)
The graph of the function is added as an attachment
On the graph, we have
Vertex = (-3, -16)
This is so because the graph has a minimum point of (-3, -16)
Also, the graph crosses the x-axis at x = 1 and x = -7
This means that the graph is positive at x >1 and x >-7
Because the vertex is a minimum, the graph is increasing at the left of its symmetry i.e. x > -3
