Distance is always positive or zero, so we have Ȋa Ȋ Ն 0 for every number a. Remembering that Ϫa is positive when a is negative, we have the following definition.

Find its gas mileage. ■ Thinking about the problem. Let’s try a simple case. If a car uses 2 gallons to drive 100 miles, we easily see that 100 gas mileage ϭ ᎏᎏ ϭ 50 mi/gal 2 So gas mileage is the number of miles driven divided by the number of gallons used. 5 in the formula. 9 mi/gal. Example 5 Finding a Formula for Area (a) Find a formula for the area of a rectangle whose length is twice its width. (b) A manufacturing company requires a rectangular sheet of metal whose length is twice its width and whose total area is 50 ft2.
