When Justin goes to work, he drives at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. It takes about 1 hour and 30
minutes for Justin to get to work. His car travels about 25 miles per gallon of gas. If gas costs $3.65 per
gallon, how much money does Justin spend on gas to get to work?

$13.14

Step-by-step explanation:

60 mi/1 hour = x mi/1.5 hours

x = 90 mi to drive to work

25 mi/1 gallon = 90 mi/y gallons

y = 3.6 gallons to get to work

$3.65/1 gallon = $z/3.6 gallons

z = $13.14

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
