The lengths of a particular type of metal rod are modeled by the equation r = |–24x + 120|, where r represents the lengths of the rod in inches, and x represents the speed at which the rods are produced, in rods per minute. If the manufacturing process is too fast or too slow, the rods will not be long enough. At what speeds will the lengths of the rods be greater than 48 inches?

In may you used 400 kilowatt-hours of energy for electricity. a. calculate the total electrical energy use in joules. b. calculate your average power use in watts. c. assume that your power supplier generates electricity by burning oil. note that 1 liter of oil releases 12 million joules of energy. how much oil is needed to generate the electricity you use? give your answer in both liters and gallons. a. the total electrical energy use was nothing _ joules. (type an integer or a decimal.) b. the average power use is nothing _ watts. (round to the nearest whole number as needed.) c. to generate the electricity you used, nothing _ l is needed. (round to the nearest whole number as needed.) to generate the electricity you used, nothing _ gal is needed. (round to two decimal places as needed.)
