Why do new cars costing $20,000 rent for $40 a day, while tuxedos costing only $500 rent for around $90?

You use cars for much longer than you use a tuxedo. A tuxedo is once-off, whereas cars you use for days and days and days... After a while, the <span>$</span>20 you pay per day is going to add up!

An assembly line produces 2 toasters per minute. It is 2:00pm and the line has finished 560 out of its goal of 900 for the day.

Answer:

I won't stop the line for a half hour break.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

One quantity A is said to be proportional to other B if A can always be obtained by multiplying or dividing B by any constant number. Numbers {4,8,12} are proportional to {2,4,6} because they can be computed as twice their value

There is a situation described in the problem where we need to know if there will be enough time to produce the 900 toasters (the goal for the day) when the assembly line is stopped by half an hour.

Actual time: 2:00 pm

Final time: 5:00 pm

Rate of production: 2 toasters/minute

Actual production: 560 toasters

Updated goal: 900-560 = 340 toasters

Those 340 toasters must be produced in the remaining 3 hours (180 minutes) of work. If the assembly line stops for half an hour (30 minutes), there will be only 150 minutes to finish the goal production. At a rate of 2 toasters/minute, there will be 2*150 = 300 toasters produced. But we need to produce 340 more toasters, so that break cannot be granted or we'll be 40 toasters under goal.

It the line keeps producing for 180 minutes, it would produce 2*180 = 360 toasters, 20 more than the goal.

Note: The maximum break time that can be granted is 20/2 = 10 minutes

Riley is saving up to buy a new television. She needs a total of $968.58. Riley has saved $200.78 already and earns $76.78 per w

attashe74 [19]

968.58=200.78+76.78w
-200.78
767.8=76.78w
/76.78
=10w
Riley must save for 10 weeks

Write an equation of the parabola that opens up whose vertex (−1, 2) is 3 units from the focus. (Vertex form or Parabola Form is

TEA [102]

Answer:

y2 = 4ax (opens right, a > 0)

y2 = -4ax (opens right, a > 0)

x2 = 4ay (opens up, a > 0)

x2 = -4ay (opens down, a > 0)

Vertex at (h, k) :

(y - k)2 = 4a(x - h) (opens right, a > 0)

(y - k)2 = -4a(x - h) (opens right, a > 0)

(x - h)2 = 4a(y - k) (opens up, a > 0)

(x - h)2 = -4a(y - k) (opens down, a > 0)

Equation of a Parabola in Vertex form

Vertex at Origin :

y = ax2 (opens up, a > 0)

y = -ax2 (opens down, a > 0)

x = ay2 (opens right, a > 0)

x = -ay2 (opens left, a > 0)

Vertex at (h, k) :

y = a(x - h)2 + k (opens up, a > 0)

y = -a(x - h)2 + k (opens down, a > 0)

x = a(y - k)2 + h (opens right, a > 0)

y = -a(y - k)2 + h (opens left, a > 0)
