A phone company has a monthly cellular plan where a customer pays a flat monthly fee and then a certain amount of money per minu

te used on the phone. If a customer uses 410 minutes, the monthly cost will be $71.50. If the customer uses 720 minutes, the monthly cost will be $118. Find a linear equation for the monthly cost of the cell plan as a function of x, the number of monthly minutes used.

Answer:

Linear equation for the monthly cost of the cell plan is 10+0.15x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u denotes a flat monthly fee and v denotes amount charged per minute.

As the monthly cost is $71.50 if a customer uses 410 minutes,

71.50=u+410v     (i)

As the monthly cost is $118 if a customer uses 720 minutes,

118=u+720v       (ii)

Subtract (i) from (ii)

118-71.50=u+720v-u-410v\\46.5=310v\\v=\frac{46.5}{310}\\  v=0.15

Put v=0.15 in (i)

71.50=u+410(0.15)\\71.50=u+61.5\\u=71.50-61.5\\u=10

As x denotes the number of monthly minutes used,

linear equation for the monthly cost of the cell plan is 10+0.15x

Kent can cut and split a cord of wood twice as fast as Brent can. When they work together , it takes them 4hr. How long would it
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Brent will take 12 hours to do the work alone

Kent will take 6 hours to do the work alone

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula

W = RT

to solve this.

W is Work Done

R is the Rate at which it is done

T is the Time taken

Now, let Brent's rate be x

and since Kent can to it TWICE as fast, we can say Kent's rate is 2x

Now, to cut and split a cord (let that be "1" unit of work, W = 1 ), together they take 4 hours. So we can write:

W = RT

1 = (x + 2x)(4)

Now, we solve this for x:

1=(x+2x)(4)\\1=(3x)(4)\\1=12x\\x=\frac{1}{12}

This means that 1/12th of work is done in 1 hour, so it will take him "12" hours to do full work alone.

This is Brent.

Kent is TWICE as fast, so he will take HALF THE TIME, that is 6 hours to do the work alone.

Brent will take 12 hours to do the work alone

Kent will take 6 hours to do the work alone

What is the value of cosθ given that (−2, −3) is a point on the terminal side of θ ?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

-0.555

Step-by-step explanation:

The terminal point of the vector in this problem is

(-2,-3)

So, it is in the 3rd quadrant.

We want to find the angle \theta that gives the direction of this vector.

We can write the components of the vector along the x- and y- direction as:

v_x = -2\\v_y = -3

The tangent of the angle will be equal to the ratio between the y-component and the x-component, so:

tan \theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}=\frac{-3}{-2}=1.5\\\theta=tan^{-1}(1.5)=56.3^{\circ}

However, since we are in the 3rd quadrant, the actual angle is:

\theta=180^{\circ} + 56.3^{\circ} = 236.3^{\circ}

So now we can find the cosine of the angle, which will be negative:

cos \theta = cos(236.3^{\circ})=-0.555
