Linda found that the cost to get a swimming pool installed in her backyard is a linear function of the pool's area. A swimming p

ool with an area of 1,500 square feet can be installed for $54,000, whereas the installation of a 700 square foot swimming pool costs $30,000. Make a graph that represents this function and write the equation of the line. Let A represent the pools area and C represent the cost.

Answer:

T he equation of the line is C = 30A + 9000

Step-by-step explanation:

If A represents the Area and C represents the cost, then we know that:

For an area A = 1500 square feet, the cost is C = 54000

If A = 700, then, C = 30000

Since we know that the cost equation is a function of the area it is a linear relationship so we must find the equation of the line

C = mA + b

Where:

m is the slope of the line

b is the intersection with the C axis ..

We already have 2 points:

(700, 30000)

(1500, 54000)

With these points we find the slope using the formula:

m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m = \frac{54000-30000}{1500-700}\\\\m = 30

So the equation is:

C = 30A +b

We find b replacing the point (700, 30000) in the equation

30000 = 30(700) + b\\\\30000 -21000=b

b = 9000

So

C = 30A + 9000

The graph of the linear equation is shown in the attached image

Pentagons STUVW and XYZAB are similar with XY=32, YZ=36, ST= 4c + 2 and TU= 5c + 2, find the length of ST
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

ST = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the pentagons are similar, the ratio between a pair of sides of one pentagon is the same ratio for the similar pair of sides of the second pentagon, so we have that:

XY / YZ = ST / TU

32 / 36 = (4c + 2) / (5c + 2)

8 / 9 = (4c + 2) / (5c + 2)

8*(5c + 2) = 9*(4c + 2)

40c + 16 = 36c + 18

4c = 2

c = 0.5

So the length of ST is:

ST = 4c + 2 = 4*0.5 + 2 = 4
