Ali will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of 70 and costs an additi

onal .60 per mile driven. The second plan has no initial fee but costs .80 per mile driven. How many miles would Ali need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?

Answer: Ali would need to drive 350 miles for the two plans to cost the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by creating two equations using the information supplied in the question and then solving these simultaneously.

Let the cost be C.

Let the number of miles be M.

Let the initial payment be i.

Let the rate per mile driven be R.

Plan 1:

C = i+R×M

C = 70+0.60M ... equation 1

Plan 2:

C = i+R×M

C = 0+0.80M

C = 0.80M ...equation 2

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1:

0.80M = 70+0.60M

0.80-0.60M = 70

0.20M = 70

M = 70/0.20

M = 350 miles

Simply 20-3[4(z+1)-6(z-2)]

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The answer is 6z-28

Step-by-step explanation:

20 - 3[4(z+1) - 6(z-2)]

= 20 - 3(4z+4-6z+12)

= 20 - 3(16 - 2z)

= 20 - 48 + 6z

= 6z - 28

Hey there, hope I can help!

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Product\:Rule}: \left(f\cdot g\right)^'=f^'\cdot g+f\cdot g^'$
$f=x,\:g=\sqrt{x+6} \ \textgreater \ \frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)\sqrt{x+6}+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{x+6}\right)x \ \textgreater \ \frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right) \ \textgreater \ 1$

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{x+6}\right) \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:the\:chain\:rule}: \frac{df\left(u\right)}{dx}=\frac{df}{du}\cdot \frac{du}{dx} \ \textgreater \ =\sqrt{u},\:\:u=x+6$
$\frac{d}{du}\left(\sqrt{u}\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(x+6\right)$

$\frac{d}{du}\left(\sqrt{u}\right) \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}: \sqrt{a}=a^{\frac{1}{2}} \ \textgreater \ \frac{d}{du}\left(u^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)$

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(6\right)$

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right) \ \textgreater \ 1$
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(6\right) \ \textgreater \ 0$

$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{u}}\cdot \:1 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Substitute\:back}\:u=x+6 \ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}\cdot \:1 \ \textgreater \ Simplify \ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$1\cdot \sqrt{x+6}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}x \ \textgreater \ Simplify$

$1\cdot \sqrt{x+6} \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{x+6}$
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}x \ \textgreater \ \frac{x}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$
$\sqrt{x+6}+\frac{x}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}: \sqrt{x+6}=\frac{\sqrt{x+6}}{1} \ \textgreater \ \frac{x}{2\sqrt{x+6}}+\frac{\sqrt{x+6}}{1}$

$Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions$
$\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c} \ \textgreater \ \frac{x+2\sqrt{x+6}\sqrt{x+6}}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$x+2\sqrt{x+6}\sqrt{x+6} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}: \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}$
$\sqrt{x+6}\sqrt{x+6}=\:\left(x+6\right)^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}=\:\left(x+6\right)^1=\:x+6 \ \textgreater \ x+2\left(x+6\right)$
$\frac{x+2\left(x+6\right)}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$x+2\left(x+6\right) \ \textgreater \ 2\left(x+6\right) \ \textgreater \ 2\cdot \:x+2\cdot \:6 \ \textgreater \ 2x+12 \ \textgreater \ x+2x+12$
$3x+12$

Therefore the derivative of the given equation is
$\frac{3x+12}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

If AB vector =(4 5) and PQ vector=(2p 10) are parallel to each other, find the value of p.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Answer:

They both have q+3/2p, so that means that 2PQ=CB and that means they are parallel to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

PQ=PA+QA

PQ=1/2(2q-p)+2/5*5p=q-1/2p+2p=q+3/2p

CB=2q+3p=2(q+3/2p)

Other explanation: It should be written like this PQ=q+3/2p and CB=2q+3p=2(q+3/2p) they are parallel bcs CB=2*PQ.
