Attorney A charges a fixed fee on $250 for an initial meeting and $150 per hour for all hours worked after that. Write an equati

on in slope-intercept form. Attorney B charges $150 for the initial meeting and $175 per hour. Find the charge for 26 hours of work for each attorney. Which is the better deal? At how many hours does this attorney become a better deal?

let h be the number of hours then

A → C = 150h + 250 ( where C is charge )

B → C = 175h + 150

for 26 hours

A → C = (150 × 26 ) + 250 = 3900 + 250 = $4150

B → C = (175 × 26 ) + 150 = 4550 + 150 = $4700

Attorney A is cheaper for 26 hours, thus better deal

Equate the 2 equations to find hours they charge the same

175h + 150 = 150h + 250 ( subtract 150h from both sides )

25h + 150 = 250 ( subtract 150 from both sides )

25h = 100 ( divide both sides by 25 )

h = 4 ← number of hours when charges for both are equal

Thus Attorney A becomes a better deal at 5 hours

A city has a population of 310,000 people.Suppose that each year the population grows by 6.5% . What will the po
brilliants [131]

Answer:

546,397 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for the above question, using the formula for Exponential growth

The formula is given as

P(t) = Po (1 + r)^t

Po = Initial population = 310,000

r = Exponential growth rate = 6.5% = 0.065

t = Time in years = 9

P(t) = Population size after time t

Hence:

P(t) = 310,000 × (1 + 0.065)⁹

P(t) = 546,396.82088 people

Approximately =546,397 people

The population will be 546,397 people after 9 years.

Parabola passes through the points (0,5), (1,4), and (2,5). What function does the graph represent?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

x^2 - 2x + 5 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (0, 5) is the point where the parabola passes through the y axis (where x = 0), so we can write the equation as

y = ax^2 + bx + 5   where a and b are constants to be found.

Also, since (1, 4) and (2, 5) are points on the curve, substituting, we have the system:

a(1)^2 + 1b + 5 = 4

a(2)^2 + 2b + 5 = 5

Simplify these 2 equations:

a  + b  =  -1  .................(1)

4a + 2b = 0..................(2)

Multiply the first equation by -2:

-2a - 2b = 2 .................(3)

Add (2) + (3):

2a = 2

a = 1.

Substitute a = 1 into (2):-

4*1 + 2b = 0

2b = -4

b = -2.
