In London, the charge of a tour bus consists of a fixed rental price plus a per kilometre rate, that depends on the distance of
ella [17]

Using a linear function, we have that:

a) The fixed cost is of $10.

b) The equation is: C = 10 + 12d.

c) The cost of an 18 km trip is $226.

d) The distance traveled is of 20 km.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

For this problem, the slope is of m = 12. When d = 5, C(d) = 70, hence we find the fixed cost as follows:

C(d) = 12d + b

70 = 60 + b

b = 10.

Hence the equation is:

C(d) = 12d + 10.

For a trip of 18 km, d = 18, hence the cost is:

C(12) = 12 x 18 + 10 = $226.

When the cost is of $250, the distance is found as follows:

250 = 12d + 10

12d = 240

d = 240/12

d = 20 km.

Only one of the comparisons below is correct. Which is correct? What benchmark was used in your answer?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2/3<9/10; I used 3/4 as a benchmark.

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3<1/2; I used 1/2 as a benchmark.

2/3 = 0.(20/3) = 0.667

1/2 = 0.(10/2) = 0.5

So this is wrong, as 0.667 > 0.5.

1/2=3/5; I used 1/4 as a benchmark.

1/2 = 0.(10/2) = 0.5

3/5 = 0.(30/5) = 0.6

0.5 != 0.6, so this is wrong.

2/3<9/10; I used 3/4 as a benchmark.

2/3 = 0.(20/3) = 0.667

9/10 = 0.(90/10) = 0.9

So this is correct, as 0.667 < 0.9

3/4<2/3; I used 1/2 as a benchmark.

3/4 = 0.(30/4) = 0.75

2/3 = 0.(20/3) = 0.667

0.75 > 0.667, so this is wrong.

What is the domain and range of this graph?
Mama L [17]
Domain: (-1, 5)
Range: (-1, 3)

Explanation:
The domain covers the lowest and highest x value. You take the lowest number for the x and the highest number and that’s your domain. The range is covering y values, so you look at the lowest and highest point on your graph
