One freezer costs $623.95 and uses 90 kilowatt hours (kwh) of electricity each month. A second freezer costs $500 and uses 100 k

wh of electricity each month. The expected life of each freezer is 12 years. What is the minimum electric rate in cents per kwh for which the 12-year total cost (purchase price + electricity costs) will be less for the first freezer?

The minimum electric rate in cents per kwh for which the 12-year total cost will be less for the first freezer is 8.61 cents

<h3>How to calculate the rate?</h3>

Let x =  minimum electric rate (Cents/kWh)

Total months in 12 years is 12*12 = 144 m

1st freezer

Total cost over 12 years is

623.95 (cost) + (90 kWh/m)*(144 m)(x/100 $/kWh)

= 623.95 + 129.6x

2nd freezer

Total cost over 12 years is

500 + 100*144*(x/100)

= 500 + 144x

For the 1st freezer to cost less over 12 years,

623.95 + 129.6x < 500 + 144x

123.95 < 14.4x

8.61 < x

The minimum rate is 8.61 cents per kWh

What is the distance rounded to the nearest tenth between the points (2 -2) and (6 3)
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The distance between the points is approximately 6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates of the points are;

(2, -2), and (6, 3)

The distance between two points, 'A', and 'B', on the coordinate plane given their coordinates, (x₁, y₁), and (x₂, y₂) can be found using following formula;

l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}

Substituting the known 'x', and 'y', values for the coordinates of the points, we have;

l_{(2, \, -2), \ (6, \, 3) } = \sqrt{\left (3-(-2)  \right )^{2}+\left (6-2  \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{5^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{41}

Therefore, the distance between the points, (2, -2), and (6, 3) = √(41) ≈ 6.4.
