The cost of parking is an initial cost plus an hourly cost.
The first hour costs $7.
You need a function for the cost of more than 1 hour,
meaning 2, 3, 4, etc. hours.
Each hour after the first hour costs $5.

1 hour: $7
2 hours: $7 + $5                  = 7 + 5 * 1          = 12
3 hours: $7 + $5 + $5          = 7 + 5 * 2          = 17
4 hours: $7 + $5 + $5 + $5  = 7 + 5 * 3          = 22

Notice the pattern above in the middle column.
The number of $5 charges you add is one less than the number of hours.
For 2 hours, you only add one $5 charge.
For 3 hours, you add two $5 charges.

Since the number of hours is x, according to the problem, 1 hour less than the number of hours is x - 1.

The fixed charge is the $7 for the first hour.
Each additional hour is $5, so you multiply 1 less than the number of hours,
x - 1, by 5 and add to 7.

C(x) = 7 + 5(x - 1)

This can be left as it is, or it can be simplified as

C(x) = 7 + 5x - 5

C(x) = 5x + 2

Answer: C(x) = 5x + 2

Check:
For 2 hours: C(2) = 5(2) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
For 3 hours: C(3) = 5(3) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
For 4 hours: C(3) = 5(4) + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
Notice that the totals for 2, 3, 4 hours here
are the same as the right column in the table above.

A DEF has vertices D(-5,-1), E (3, 3), and F (1,-5). Find the equation of the altitude through F in
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

y = -2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

- the altitude trough F is a perpendicular line to the line DE

- find slope of line DE

D ( x2 = -5, y2 = -1); E (x1 = 3, y1 = 3)

slope m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (-1-3) / (-5-3) = -4/ -8 = 1/2

-find equation of the altitude trough F

lines that are perpendicular have the slope negative reciprocal (negative reciprocal of 1/2 is -2)

y= -2x +b , for point F(1, -5)

-5 = -2*1 +b, add 2 to both sides

-5 +2 = b, combine like terms

-3 =b

equation of the altitude trough F is y = -2x -3

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

$246.42

Step-by-step explanation:

13.69(4+4+4+4) + 27.38

    13.69(16) + 27.38

     219.04 + 27.38

         246.42

You should make $246.42.
