Two car washes charge a basic fee plus a fee based on the number of extras that

mezya [45]

Answer:

a. The first car wash charges more for the basic fee

b. 6 extras must be chosen for the total cost to be the same

Explanation:

The complete question is shown in the attached diagram

The general form of the linear equation is:

y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

The y-intercept represents the initial value which, in the given problem, is the basic fee

For the first car wash, we are given the equation:

y₁ = x + 9

Now, we will start by getting the equation for the second car wash:

1- getting the slope:

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{12-9}{4-2}=1.5$

The equation now is: y = 1.5x+c

2- getting the y-intercept:

To get the y-intercept, we will simply choose a point, substitute with it in the equation from 1 and solve for c. I will use point (2,9)

y = 1.5 x + c

9 = 1.5 (2) + c ............> c = 6

The equation for the second car wash is:

y₂ = 1.5x + 6

Part 1:

As mentioned above, the y-intercept represents the basic fee

For the first car wash:

y₁ = x + 9 ................> The basic fee is $9

For the second car wash:

y₂ = 1.5x + 6 ..............> The basic fee is $6

It is clear that the basic fee for the first car wash charges more for the basic fee

Part 2:

In both equations, x represents the number of extras. We want the total cost to be the same. So, we will simply equate y₁ and y₂ and solve for x

x + 9 = 1.5x + 6

1.5x - x = 9 - 6

0.5x = 3

x = 6

Let's verify:

For x = 6:

y₁ = x + 9 = 6 + 9 = $15

y₂ = 1.5x + 6 = 1.5(6) + 6 = $15

Total cost is the same. This means that 6 extras must be chosen for the total cost to be the same

Hope this helps :)

The number of hours required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. It takes 8 hours for 4 people to pain

dezoksy [38]

Answer: it will take 5 people 6.4 hours to do the work.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of hours required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. Let h represent the number of hours required to do the job. Let p represent the number of people working. Therefore,

h is inversely proportional to p

Introducing a constant of variation, k, it means that

h = k/p

It takes 8 hours for 4 people to paint the inside of a house. Therefore

8 = k/4

k = 8×4 = 32

The formula becomes

h = 32/p

To determine how many hours it will take 5 people to do the work, we will substitute p = 5 into the formula. It becomes

h = 32/5 = 6.4 hours

A researcher conducted a hypothesis test to see if students on average spend more than 1 hour per homework assignment. The level

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

a. True

Step-by-step explanation:

By ∝= 5% we mean that there are about 5 chances in 100 of incorrectly rejecting a true null hypothesis. To put it in another way , we say that we are 95% confident in making the correct decision.

In the given question the null hypothesis is

H0: u ≤ 1 hour and Ha: u > 1 hour

So there is a 5% chance that the erroneous conclusion will be made that students spend on average more than 1 hour per assignment.

The given statement is true.

What is the lowest value of the range of the function

Rasek [7]

The question is incomplete. Below you will find the missing graph.

The lowest value of the range of the function shown on graph is (B) -2.

Graph is the pictorial representation of the function or mathematical relation.

The lowest value of the graph is the value of y when $y=f(x)$ gives the least value.

From the given graph we can clearly see that at $x=3$ the graph of the given function approaches the least value which is -2.

So the lowest value of the range of the function shown on the graph is -2.

Hence the correct option is (B).
