Answer:
Each marker will be exactly <u>103</u> miles apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Ian wants to run 412 miles and has set up 3 markers the same distance apart.
Between the start and end of run, the 3 separate markers will divide the 412-mile distance into 4 equal segments.
So each segment = 412/4 = 103 miles
Each marker will be exactly <u>103</u> miles apart.
A. the first one is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Two equations will be called independent if their graphs touch only on one point (they have one solution for the x-value and one solution for the y-value), and two equations will be dependent if they touch at every point (there is an infinite number of solutions).
This definition of independent and dependent equations is shown in the following diagram. Consider that there are two lines, one red line and one blue line:
They are independent if they touch only on one point and dependent if they touch at every point (they are the same line).
In our case, we are asked to write an equation in order to create an independent consistent linear system.
Note: Consistent means that the system has a solution.
First, we graph the given equation:

There are many different equations that will form an independent consistent linear system with this equation.
We are going to choose the following line equation:

Because when we graph this equation next to the previous line:
We can see that they touch at one point, thus there is a solution and the system is independent --> we have created an independent consistent linear system.

Answer:
the minimum production level is costing $800 (0.8×$1000) per hour for 2000 (2×1000) items produced per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
if there is no mistake in the problem description, I read the following function :
C(x) = y = 0.3x² - 1.2x + 2
I don't know if you learned this already, but to find the extreme values of a function you need to build the first derivative of the function y' and find its solutions for y'=0.
the first derivative of C(x) is
0.6x - 1.2 = y'
0.6x - 1.2 = 0
0.6x = 1.2
x = 2
C(2) = 0.3×2² - 1.2×2 + 2 = 0.3×4 - 2.4 + 2 = 1.2-2.4+2 = 0.8
so, the minimum production level is costing $800 (0.8×$1000) per hour for 2000 (2×1000) items produced per hour.
