slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

-2/1 = (a - 1)/(5 -(-5))

-2 = (a - 1)/10

-20 = a - 1

-19 = a

Answer: a = -19

The table below shows a pattern in the cost of renting a car based on the number of days rented. Car Rentals Number of Days (d)
andrezito [222]

The linear equation that describes the pattern in the cost of renting a car is given by:

  • D. c = 34d + 25

<h3>What is a linear function? </h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y(x) = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem:

  • For each day, the cost of renting a car increases by 34, hence, the slope is of 34, and the equation is:

c(d) = 34d + b

When d = 4, c = 161, and this is used to find b.

c(d) = 34d + b

161 = 34(4) + b

b = 25

Hence, the equation is c = 34d + 25, and option D is correct.

A fence must be built to enclose a rectangular area of ft. Fencing material costs per foot for the two sides facing north and so
avanturin [10]

The complete question is

A fence must be built to enclose a rectangular area of 5000ft^2. Fencing material costs $1 per foot for the two sides facing north and south and 2$ per foot for the other two sides. Find the cost of the least expensive fence.

Answer:

Total cost will be $400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = be other side

     y =  north and  south side  

Area = x*y = 5000

Perimeter of the rectangle  = 2x + 2y

cost of fencing = 2(1)*5000/x + 2*2x

                         = 10000/x + 4x

 now to get the least we will take the derivative of this

C'(x) = 10000(-1/x^2)  + 4 =0

        x^2 = 2500

            x= 50ft cost = 2*$2*50 = $200

             y= 100ft  cost = 2*$1*100 = $200

Total cost = $400
