Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time, please be sure to share the possible answer choices.  Also, please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:  x^2 + (2/3)x.

Let's actually "complete the square" here:

Starting with x^2 + (2/3)x, identify the coefficient of the x term (it is 2/3).

Take half of that, which results in 2/6, or 1/3.

Square this result, obtaining (1/3)^2 = 1/9.

Add to, and then subtract from, this square:

x^2 + (2/3)x + 1/9 - 1/9

Rewrite x^2 + (2/3)x + 1/9 as the square of a binomial:

(x + 1/3)^2 - 1/9

In review:  add 1/9 to, and then subtract 1/9 from,  x^2 + (2/3)x

The cost y (in dollars) of renting a segway for x hours is y=30x+25. Find the initial fee and the cost per hour.
Hitman42 [59]

Given:

The cost y (in dollars) of renting a segway for x hours is

y=30x+25

To find:

The initial fee and the cost per hour.

Solution:

We have,

y=30x+25       ...(i)

The slope intercept form of a linear equation is

y=mx+b      ...(ii)

where, m is slope is b is y-intercept or initial value.

From (i) and (ii), we get

m=30,b=25

The value of m is 30, so the slope is 30. It means cost per hour is $30.

The value of b is 25, so y-intercept is 25. It means the initial fee is $25.
