<span> Suppose the # of litres in the small container is 'x'.
This would make '2x' litres of water in the larger container.
After taking 8 litres from both containers, the following equation can be written:

(2x-8) = 3 (x-8)

Open the brackets:

2x-8 = 3x-24

Collect like terms:

x = 16

There were 16 litres in the smaller container</span>

They intersect at the point (p, q).<br> Which is greater, c or d? Explain how you know.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

d is greater than c, since at x = 0, g(x) > f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two exponential functions, f and g.

Since f has the higher base(3 instead of 2 in g), it increases faster, so initially, g is greater than f, and after point (p,q), f is greater than g.

The values of c and d are found when x = 0. At this point, we have that g is greater than f, so d is greater than c.

The base fare per ride on the MTA bus or subway is $2.75, but you get a 5% discount with a purchase. A weekly unlimited MetroCar
Nikolay [14]

"13" or "more than 13" rides will make the weekly unlimited pass more cost effective. A further solution is provided below.

The given values are:

  • Base fare per ride = $2.75
  • Discount = 5%
  • Weekly unlimited Metro Card costs = $32

The Fare after discount will be:

= 2.75\times \frac{100-5}{100}

= 2.75\times \frac{95}{100}

= 2.75\times 0.95

= 2.6125 ($)

hence,

In $32, the minimum number of rides will be:

= \frac{32}{2.6125}

= 12.24

or,

= 13
