Answer:

There are two steps to this problem. The first step is to make an equation for the cost of each company. The cost of each one involves 2 variables. However, we can ignore the number of days since the question asks for per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

CostA = 90 + .40(miles)

CostB = 30 + .70(miles)

We want to know when A is a better deal or when A costs less. That is when CostA < CostB. We can then substitute the right sides of our equations into the inequality. This will give:

90 + .40(miles) < 30 + .70(miles) This is where we will now begin to solve for the number of miles.

-30 -30 Subtract 30 from both sides.

60 + .4(miles) < .7(miles) Simplify

-.4(miles) -.4(miles) Subtract .4(miles) from both sides

60 < .3(miles) Simplify

/.3 /.3 Divide both sides by .3

200 < miles Simplify

So for A to cost less the number of miles must be greater than 200.

The height of a ball thrown directly up with a velocity of 10 feet per second from a initial height of of 100 feet is given by t

Nutka1998 [239]

The ball will hit the ground when h(t)=0 so:

-16t^2+10t+100=0

Using the quadratic equation:

t=(-10±√6500)/-32, and since t>0

t≈2.8 seconds (to nearest tenth of a second)

Is 5/8 grater than or equal to 11/16

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Less than

Step-by-step explanation:

Although it wasn't an option, it is less than. In order to accurately compare then, you have to get the least common denominator. Using the least common multiple (2), you multiply 5/8 by 2 and end up with 10/16. Now 10 is less than 11, so the option is neither of those. 5/8 is less than 11/16.

The line perpendicular to y= (-3/2)x -4 and goes through (1,4)

Paladinen [302]

Answer (assuming it is allowed to be in point-slope format):

$y-4 = \frac{2}{3}(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, determine the slope. We know it has to be perpendicular to the given equation, $y = -\frac{3}{2} x-4$ . That equation is already in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b format, in which m represents the slope. Since $-\frac{3}{2}$ is in place of the m in the equation, that must be the slope of the given line.

Slopes that are perpendicular are opposite reciprocals of each other (they have different signs, and the denominators and numerators switch places). Thus, the slope of the new line must be $\frac{2}{3}$ .

2) Now, use the point-slope formula, $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the new equation with the given information. Substitute $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ for real values.

The $m$ represents the slope, so substitute $\frac{2}{3}$ in its place. The $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects. Since the point crosses (1,4), substitute 1 for $x_1$ and 4 for $y_1$ . This gives the following equation and answer:

$y-4 = \frac{2}{3}(x-1)$
