Answer 1

Part (A)

Answers:

Independent Variable = x = number of hours

Dependent Variable = f(x) = total cost in dollars

---------------------------------

Explanation:

The independent variable is always x. When dealing with time, the time value is often the independent variable as time does its own thing. It marches on without any influence or external factors to change it.

On the other hand, the total cost is affected by time. The more time goes on, the higher the total cost will be. We say the total cost is dependent on the time. The dependent variable is always y, which can be replaced with f(x). In short, y = f(x).

===========================================================

Part (B)

Answer:

f(x) = 20x + 25

----------------------------------

Explanation:

The flat rate of $25 represents the initial cost. This is the cost if x = 0 hours of work is done. So this is the cost to get in the door, so to speak. You can think of this as the parts cost (from "parts and labor").

On top of that initial cost is the cost of $20 per hour. This can be thought of as the labor cost. If a job takes 1 hour to do, then we add on $20 to the flat rate of $25. If it takes 2 hours, then we add on 2*20 = 40 dollars. And so on. For x hours, we add on 20x dollars. Whatever x is, we multiply by 20.

So overall we have a flat rate of $25 and a variable rate of 20x dollars giving a total cost of f(x) = 20x+25

As a check, plugging x = 0 should lead to f(x) = 25

Plugging x = 1 should lead to f(x) = 20+25 = 45

And so on.

Peter is replacing five broken sections of the picket fence around his house. The length of each section is between 7 and 9 feet, and the height of each section is between 3 and 5 feet. Peter estimates the area of the five sections that need to be replaced to be 200 square feet. Is this a reasonable estimate?

Answers

In this question, we want to evaluate how reasonable is an estimate made by Peter.
To do this, we need to have a range , with the boundaries of the range being the lowest expected area and the highest expected areas respectively.
The lowest expected area would take into recognition the lest length and height which is just 3 by 4 . The area of a section here is thus 3 * 4 = 12 sq.feet
Since there are 5 sections, the total area here is thus 12 * 5 = 60 sq.feet. This is the minimum total area of the sections
For the maximum, we compute the area of the sections using the highest length and height. This is 5 by 6. The area here would be 5 * 6 = 30 sq.feet . Since there are 5 sections, the total area here would be 30 * 5 = 150 sq.feet
Hence, we have the area falling between 60 sq.feet and 150 sq.feet
Since the estimates fall between the boundaries and in fact is closer to the maximum, it is a good estimate

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,−1) and has a slope of 3/2

Answers

Answer:

y=3/2x-4

This is the answer.

Given :-

A line having a slope of 3/2 passes through (2,-1) .

To Find :-

The equation of the line .

Answer :-

According to the question ,

m = 3/2

Point = (2,-1)

We know Point slope form of the line as ,

y - y¡ = m ( x - x ¡ )

Substitute ,

y - (-1) = 3/2 ( x - 2 )

y + 1 = 3/2x - 3/2*2

y +1 = 3/2x - 3

2( y +1) = 3/2x *2 - 3*2

2y + 2 = 3x - 6

3x -2y -8 = 0

A charity marathon in Keller is 26.2 miles. There are approximately 1.61 kilometers in 1 mile. Which measurement is closest to the numbers of kilometers in the charity marathon?

Answers

Answer:

42.182km

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know :

There are approximately 1.61 kilometers in 1 mile.

A charity marathon in Keller is 26.2 miles.

The measurement that is closest to the numbers of kilometers in the charity marathon is:

1 mile = 1.61 km

26.2 mile = x km

Cross Multiply

1 mile × x km = 26.2 mile × 1.61 km

= 42.182 km

The number of kilometers in the charity marathon is 42.182km

Write an equation for a line parallel to
y = 3x - 1 and contains the point (-2, 8).

Answers

Answer:

y=3x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y = 3x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x - 1 ← is in slop- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, 8) into the partial equation

8 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = 8 + 6 = 14

y = 3x + 14 ← equation of parallel line
