Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Charging by the quarter mile is for purpose of making that particular taxi service seem cheaper than the others when they post a per mile charge. If this taxi company is charging .50 per 1/4 mile, they are charging $2 per mile. So we will base our equation on the per mile charge, not the per quarter-mile charge. If x is the number of mile driven (our uknown), and we have a flat fee of $2.50 regardless of how many miles we are driven, the cost function in terms of miles is

C(x) = 2x + 2.50

If we are driven 5 miles, then

C(5) = 2(5) + 2.50 so

C(5) = 10 + 2.50 and

C(5) = $12.50

It would cost $12.50 to be driven 5 miles

jack is 4 times as old as lacy. 9 years from now the sum of their ages will be 68. how old are they now?

Ierofanga [76]

The answer is 12.
since we also know that jack is 2 times lucy now then the entire formula would be 2x - 6 = 18 to solve we add 6 to both sides 2x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6 the 6s on the left cancel because when you have a positive and negative of the same number it always = 0 we get 2x = 24 then divide both sides by 2 to get the answer 2x / 2 = 24 / 2 the 2s on the left cancel and you get

For the function y=-1+6 cos(2pi/7(x-5)) what is the minimum value?

Ad libitum [116K]

Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:
$\frac{2\pi}{7(x-5)^{2}}\sin{\frac{2\pi}{7(x-5)}}}$
which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.

I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.

If, however, the function is
$-1+\cos{\frac{2\pi}{7}(x-5)}}$
Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:
$\sin{\frac{2\pi}{7}(x-5)}}=0$
which gives:
$x=5$ or $8.5$

We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,
$x=8.5\pm7n$ , for $n=0,\pm 1,\pm 2, ...$
