We know that the load is 8713 lbs.

The total weight (truck + load) is 17200 lb.

Then, we can calculate the weight of the empty truck as:

\begin{gathered} L=8713 \\ W=L+T=17200 \\ \Rightarrow T=W-L \\ T=17200-L=17200-8713=8487 \\  \end{gathered}

Answer: the empty truck's weight is 8487 lb.

T: empty truck's weight

W: total weight (loaded truck's weight)

L: Load

The equation is:

T = W - L

In an ellipse, the ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the major axis is called:
Anni [7]

The ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the <em>major</em> axis is called eccentricity.

<h3>Definitions of dimensions in ellipses</h3>

Dimensionally speaking, an ellipse is characterized by three variables:

  1. Length of the <em>major</em> semiaxis (a).
  2. Length of the <em>minor</em> semiaxis (b).
  3. Distance between the foci and the center of the ellipse (c).

And there is the following relationship:

c = \sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}} (1)

Another variable that measure how "similar" is an ellipse to a circle is the eccentricity (e), which is defined by the following formula:

e = \frac{c}{a}, 0 \ge c \ge 1 (2)

The greater the eccentricity, the more similar the ellipse to a circle.

Therefore, the ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the <em>major</em> axis is called eccentricity. \blacksquare

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The required equation is:

y=4x+30

So, Option C is correct option.

Entry fee for fair = $30

Cost of one ride = $4

Cost of x rides = $4x

If y represents the total cost the equation will be sum, of entree fee and cost of x rides i.e

y=4x+30

The required equation is:

y=4x+30

So, Option C is correct option.
