A taxi firm charges a fixed cost of $10 together with a variable cost of $3 per mile. (a) Work out the average cost per mile for a journey of 4 miles. (b) Work out the minimum distance travelled if the average cost per mile is to be less than $3.25

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$5.5 per mile

40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Fixed cost = $10

Variable cost = $3

For a journey of 4 miles ;

Cost = fixed cost + Variable Cost

Cost = $10 + $3x

x = number of miles

Cost = $10 + $3(4)

Cost = $10 + $12 = $22

Average cost per mile for a journey of 4 miles

Cost / number of miles

$22 / 4 = $5.5 per mile

Minimum distance if average per mile is to be less Than 3.25

$3.25 = (10 + 3x) / x

3.25x = 10 + 3x

3.25x - 3x = 10

0.25x = 10

x = 10 / 0.25

x = 40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of decline in sales in [tex]22\%[/tex] per year.

The starting sales is 100 units:

Using compounding formula:

[tex]\to 100 \times (1-\frac{22}{100})^t=22\% \ of \ 100\\\\\to 100 \times (\frac{100-22}{100})^t=\frac{22}{100} \times \ 100\\\\\to (\frac{78}{100})^t=\frac{22}{100}\\\\\to 0.78^t=0.22\\\\\text{taking \log on both the sides}\\\\[/tex]

The radical equation 2 + 2x - 3
V + 7 has a solution set z =
and an extraneous root =

Answers

Answer:

x=2; the extraneous root x=42.

All the details are in the attached picture, the answer is marked with red colour.

The radical equation 2 + 2x - 3. √(x + 7) has a solution set z = 2 and an extraneous root = -7.

To solve the equation, we can start by simplifying the radical. We get:

2 + 2x - 3√(x + 7) = 0

We can then move the constant term to the other side of the equation. We get:

2x - 3√(x + 7) = -2

We can then multiply both sides of the equation by -1. We get:

3√(x + 7) - 2x = 2

We can then square both sides of the equation. We get:

9(x + 7) - 12x * √(x + 7) + 4x² = 4

We can then rearrange the terms on the left-hand side of the equation. We get:

4x² - 12x * √(x + 7) + 5 = 0

We can then factor the expression on the left-hand side of the equation. We get:

(2x - 1)(2x - 5) = 0

This gives us two solutions, x = 1/2 and x = 5.

The solution x = 1/2 is a valid solution because it does not make the radical expression undefined. However, the solution x = 5 is an extraneous root because it does make the radical expression undefined.

Therefore, the solution set z = 2 and the extraneous root = -7.

22 - 11 = 11

37 - 22 = 15

56 - 37 = 19

After the first difference, 11 - 4 = 7, each difference is 4 more than the previous difference.

Difference of differences:

So, to find the answer just ADD 10 + 2 + 3 = ?

10 + 2 = 12 So put that to the side for now.

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 18 \ yards}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle is a right triangle. We know this because of the small square in the corner representing a 90 degree angle. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

In this formula a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

In this triangle, the legs are 24 and a, because these sides form the right angle. 30 is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.

a=a b= 24 c= 30

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]a^2+(24)^2=(30)^2[/tex]

Solve the exponents.

(24)²= 24*24=576 (30)^2= 30*30=900

[tex]a^2+ 576=900[/tex]

We are solving for a, the missing side of the triangle. We must isolate the variable. 576 is being added. The inverse of addition is subtraction, Subtract 576 from both sides of the equation.

[tex]a^2+576-576=900-576\\a^2=900-576\\a^2=324[/tex]

a is being squared. The inverse of a square is a square root. Take the square root of both sides.

[tex]\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{324}\\a=\sqrt{324}\\a=18[/tex]

The missing side of the triangle is 18 yards.

Answers

Given:

Total number of gym members = 685

257 said they use the treadmill, 157 said they use the elliptical, and 85 said they use both.

To find:

a. The venn diagram.

b. The probability that a member uses the treadmill only?

Solution:

(a)

We have,

Total number of gym members = 685

Treadmill user = 257

Elliptical user = 157

Who use both = 85

Only treadmill user is:

[tex]257-85=172[/tex]

Only Elliptical used

[tex]157-85=72[/tex]

Therefore, the venn diagram for the given situation is shown below.

(b)

The member who use treadmill only = 172

Total user = 685

The probability that a member uses the treadmill only is:

[tex]P(\text{Only treadmill})=\dfrac{\text{Only treadmill users}}{\text{Total users}}[/tex]

[tex]P(\text{Only treadmill})=\dfrac{172}{685}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a member uses the treadmill only is [tex]\dfrac{172}{685}[/tex].
