Mike drove 100 miles in a rental car and was charged $58.00. Jane rented the same car after Mike had rented it and was charged $65.00 for 170 miles. Write an equation to represent y, the total rental cost, in terms of x, the number of miles driven.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y= 48 + 0.1x

x= miles driven

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the fixed and variable cost (per mile) of renting a car. To do that, we will use the high-low method:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (65 - 58) / (170 - 100)

Variable cost per unit= $0.1 per mile

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 65 - (0.1*170)

Fixed costs= $48

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 58 - (0.1*100)

Fixed costs= $48

y= 48 + 0.1x

x= miles driven

Step-by-step explanation:

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both sides and two-inch margins at the bottom and top, what are the dimensions of the smallest piece of paper (by area) that can be used? Choose 1 answer:

Answers

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

[tex]Area = 128[/tex]

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

[tex]Length = x[/tex]

[tex]Width = y[/tex]

So:

[tex]Area = x * y[/tex]

Substitute 128 for Area

[tex]128 = x * y[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = \frac{128}{y}[/tex]

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

[tex]Length = x + 1 + 1[/tex]

[tex]Length = x + 2[/tex]

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

[tex]Width = y + 2 + 2[/tex]

[tex]Width = y + 4[/tex]

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

[tex]A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\frac{128}{y}[/tex] for x

[tex]A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)[/tex]

Open Brackets

[tex]A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136[/tex]

[tex]A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136[/tex]

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

[tex]A' = -512y^{-2} + 2[/tex]

Set

[tex]A' = 0[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]0 = -512y^{-2} + 2[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]512y^{-2} = 2[/tex]

Multiply through by [tex]y^2[/tex]

[tex]y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2[/tex]

[tex]512 = 2y^2[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]256=y^2[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]\sqrt{256=y^2[/tex]

[tex]16=y[/tex]

[tex]y = 16[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]x = \frac{128}{y}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{128}{16}[/tex]

[tex]x = 8[/tex]

Recall that the new dimensions are:

[tex]Length = x + 2[/tex]

[tex]Width = y + 4[/tex]

So:

[tex]Length = 8 + 2[/tex]

[tex]Length = 10[/tex]

[tex]Width = 16 + 4[/tex]

[tex]Width = 20[/tex]

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

[tex]A' = -512y^{-2} + 2[/tex]

[tex]A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]A" = 1024y^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}[/tex]

The above value is:

[tex]A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0[/tex]

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Given the definitions of f(x) and g(x) below, find the value of f(g(2)).
f(x) = 3x – 10
g(x) = x2 + 2x- 10

Name all four elements of the Rule of Four.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The rule of four is not required by the Constitution, any law, or even the Supreme Court's own published rules. Rather, it is a custom that has been observed since the Court was given discretion over which appeals to hear by the Judiciary Act of 1891, Judiciary Act of 1925 and the Supreme Court Case Selections Act of 1988.[1]

The "Rule of Four" has been explained by various Justices in judicial opinions throughout the years.[2] For example, Justice Felix Frankfurter described the rule as follows: "The ‘rule of four’ is not a command of Congress. It is a working rule devised by the Court as a practical mode of determining that a case is deserving of review, the theory being that if four Justices find that a legal question of general importance is raised, that is ample proof that the question has such importance. This is a fair enough rule of thumb on the assumption that four Justices find such importance on an individualized screening of the cases sought to be reviewed."[3]

Write an explicit formula that represents the sequence defined by the following recursive formula



HELP IM TIMED

Answers

Answer:

The explicit formula is a[tex]_{n}[/tex] = 5 - 6n

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula of the arithmetic sequence of the recursive formula

a[tex]_{1}[/tex] = first term; a[tex]_{n}[/tex] = a[tex]_{n-1}[/tex] + d is a[tex]_{n}[/tex] = a + (n - 1)d, where

a is the first termd is the common difference between each two consecutive termsn is the position of the number

∵ The recursive formula is a[tex]_{1}[/tex] = -1 and a[tex]_{n}[/tex] = a[tex]_{n-1}[/tex] - 6

→ Compare it with the formula above

a = -1 ⇒ 1st term

d = -6 ⇒ common difference

→ Substitute them in the form of the explicit formula

∵ a[tex]_{n}[/tex]  = -1 + (n - 1)(-6)

∴ a[tex]_{n}[/tex] = -1 + (-6)(n) - (-6)(1)

∴ a[tex]_{n}[/tex]  = -1 + -6n - (-6)

∴ a[tex]_{n}[/tex] = -1 - 6n + 6

→ Add the like term

a[tex]_{n}[/tex] = 5 - 6n

The explicit formula is a[tex]_{n}[/tex] = 5 - 6n

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by looking at it as a ratio, so 4 divided by 20 and 4/20 = 0.2, so that would be 20% viewing 1=100%.

Another way is

20 here is 100%, and for 20 to equal 100, we have to multiply it by 5. To balance it out, multiply the top by 5 as well, and 4 * 5 =20. Therefore, 4/20 = 20%

5y + 30 = x

you subtract x from both sides

- x + 5y + 30 = 0

Samiya bought a tree 3 inches long. Each year, the tree expected to grow 5 inches. How long (How many years) it takes the tree to reach the height of 8 feet (or 96 inches)? Let \large y be number of years it takes to reach 96 inches tall;

Answers

Answer:

19 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height of tree when Samiya bought the tree = 3 inches

Growth in the height of tree every year = 5 inches

Number of years = [tex]y[/tex]

Growth in the height of tree in [tex]y[/tex] years = 5 inches multiplied by number of years

Growth in the height of tree in [tex]y[/tex] years = 5[tex]y[/tex] inches

To find:

Number of years taken by the tree to be 8 ft or 96 inches.

Solution:

The equation for height of tree after [tex]y[/tex] years can be written as:

3 + 5[tex]y[/tex] which is to be compared with 96 inches.

Therefore, the equation is:

[tex]3 + 5y = 96\\\Rightarrow 5y=93\\\Rightarrow y \approx 19[/tex]

Therefore, it will take 19 years for the tree to reach a height of 96 inches.
