Lex was chatting with his friends thomas and mike. He was wondering how much it will cost him to take a taxi from his house to w

ork, a total of 12 km. Thomas and mike both recently tok a taxi from the same company that charge a intial fee and also a constant rate per km travelled. Neither can remember how much the rates were but they have the receipt. Thomas traveled 10km and paid %24.50. Mike traveled 15km and paid $35. How much wwill Lex pay to travel a distance of 12km.

Answer:

$28.3

Step-by-step explanation:

x=rate for 1km

y=initial fee

Mike: $35 for 15km -> 35 = 15x + y

Thomas: $24.50 for 10km -> 24.50 = 10x + y

Using those two equations we see the following:

Mike paid $10.5 more for 5 more km. The initial fee remains unchanged, so we can calculate the rate for 1km, which is 10.5/5=2.1.

35 = 15x + y

24.50 = 10x + y

10.5 = 5x

2.1=x

Using that value with one of the original equations we can calculate the initial fee.

35 = 15x + y

35 = 15*2.1 + y

35 = 31.5 + y

3.5 = y

Mike paid 15*2.1=31.5 ($2.1 for every km) plus the initial fee, his total was $35.

We subtract the 31.5 from the 35(total) and get the initial fee, which is $3.5.

<u>Let's see what Lex will pay:</u>

Km travelled times 2.1 (the rate for 1km) plus 3.5 (the initial fee).

12*2.1 + 3.5 = 28.3

Lex will pay $28.3 for the same taxi company to travel 12 km.

How do you determine the area under a curve in calculus using integrals or the limit definition of integrals?

RSB [31]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider

$y = f(x)$

To find the area under the curve $y = f(x)$ between $x = a$ and $x = b$ , all we need is to integrate $y = f(x)$ between the limits of $a$ and $b$ .

For example, the area between the curve y = x² - 4 and the x-axis on an interval [2, -2] can be calculated as:

$A=\int _a^b|f\left(x\right)|dx$

= $\int _{-2}^2\left|x^2-4\right|dx$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum\:Rule}:\quad \int f\left(x\right)\pm g\left(x\right)dx=\int f\left(x\right)dx\pm \int g\left(x\right)dx$

$=\int _{-2}^2x^2dx-\int _{-2}^24dx$

solving

$\int _{-2}^2x^2dx$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Power\:Rule}:\quad \int x^adx=\frac{x^{a+1}}{a+1},\:\quad \:a\ne -1$

$=\left[\frac{x^{2+1}}{2+1}\right]^2_{-2}$

$=\left[\frac{x^3}{3}\right]^2_{-2}$

computing the boundaries

$=\frac{16}{3}$

Thus,

$\int _{-2}^2x^2dx=\frac{16}{3}$

similarly solving

$\int _{-2}^24dx$

$\mathrm{Integral\:of\:a\:constant}:\quad \int adx=ax$

$=\left[4x\right]^2_{-2}$

computing the boundaries

$=16$

Thus,

$\int _{-2}^24dx=16$

Therefore, the expression becomes

$A=\int _a^b|f\left(x\right)|dx=\int _{-2}^2x^2dx-\int _{-2}^24dx$

$=\frac{16}{3}-16$

$=-\frac{32}{3}$

$=-10.67$ square units

Thus, the area under a curve is -10.67 square units

The area is negative because it is below the x-axis. Please check the attached figure.
