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 value -2 is a lower bound for the zeros of the function shown below.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a) true

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom-line numbers from synthetic division alternate signs, indicating that -2 is a lower bound. The given statement is true.

__

If the signs were all positive, it would indicate the proposed zero is an upper bound.

__

A graph shows all real zeros are greater than -2.

A mother decides to teach her son about a letter each day of the week. She will choose a letter from the name of the day. For ex

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The days of the week include

Sunday

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

a) So, the possible letters to be taught include

A, D, E, F, H, I, M, N, O, R, S, T, U, W, Y

There are indeed 15 possible letters.

These are the letters from which all the days of the week are formed from.

b) There are more than 4 letters that can't be taught using this method.

All the letters that cannot be taught using this method because no day of the week contains them include

B, C, G, J, K, L, P, Q, V, X, Z

c) In Tuesday, there are 7 distinct letters.

So, the sample space consist of 7 letters.

n(sample space) = 7

n(Y) = 1

Probability of picking a Y = (1/7)

The reasoning is simple, picking a Y on a Tuesday is one out of 7 possible outcomes, so, the probability of picking a Y on a Tuesday to teach the kid about = (1/7) = 0.143

Hope this Helps!!!
