Sandra uses her office fax machine to send fax at the rate of $0.10 per page. She decides to rent a fax machine for $80 a year.

The cost of sending a fax using the rented machine is $0.06 per page. Part A: Write an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Sandra should fax in a year so that the amount she pays for the rented machine is less than the office machine. Define the variable used. (5 points) Part B: How many pages should Sandra fax in a year to justify renting the fax machine? Show your work. (5 points)

Part A: 
 First we define the variable to be used for the problem:
 x: the number of pages that Sandra should fax
 The inequality for rent is:
 0.06x <= 80
 Note that the price will be less than using the fax from the office, since for the same number of pages, we have:
 y = 0.10x
 Answer:
 
an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Sandra should fax in a year is:
 
0.06x <= 80

 Part B:
 0.06x <= 80
 From here we clear x:
 x <= 80 / 0.06
 x <= 1333.33333
 Nearest whole number
 x <= 1333
 Sandra can use the leased fax for 1333 pages and the cost will be:
 1333 * 0.06 = 79.98 $
 Using the office fax the cost will be:
 1333 * 0.1 = 133.3 $
  Answer:
 
By renting the sara machine, you save:
 
133.3-79.98 = 53.32 $

In a weekly lottery, ten ping-pong balls numbered 0 to 9 are placed in each of six containers, and one ping-pong ball is drawn f
sukhopar [10]
He will have a 1/531,441 chance of winning next week.

There are 10 balls in each container; for 6 containers, this gives us 10^6 = 1,000,000.  There is 1 correct combination of balls, so his chance the first week is 1/1,000,000.

The second week, 1 ball is removed from each container; this will give us 9^6 = 531,441 chances.  There is 1 correct combination, so he will have a 1/531,441 chance of winning.

In a free-fall experiment, an object is dropped from a height of h = 400 feet. A camera on the ground 500 ft from the point of i
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Hmmm the object, is at rest, when dropped, so it has a velocity of 0 ft/s

the only force acting on the object, is gravity, using feet will then be -32ft/s²,


was wondering myself on -32 or 32.. but anyhow... we'll settle for the negative value, since it seems to be just a bit of convention issues

so, we'll do the integral to get v(t) then

\bf \displaystyle \int -32\cdot dt\implies -32t+C&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{object moves from \underline{rest}, so velocity is 0 at 0secs}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;-32(0)+C=0\implies C=0\implies \boxed{v(t)=-32t}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{now to get the positional s(t)}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\displaystyle \int -32t\cdot dt\implies -16t^2+C&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{the initial \underline{position} was 400ft away at 0secs}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;-16(0)^2+C=400\implies C=400\implies \boxed{s(t)=-16t^2+400}

when will it reach the ground level? let's set s(t) = 0

\bf s(t)=-16t^2+400\implies 0=-16t^2+400\implies \cfrac{-400}{-16}=t^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;25=t^2\implies \boxed{5=t}
