Glenna wants to rent a car for a trip to key west for one weekshe calls two car rental companies to get prices. mr kotters renta

ls rents a cadillac escalade for $99 for one week plus $0.11per mile over 100 miles. barbarino's rentals has the same vehicle for $75 per week and $0.15 per mile over 150 miles. if its 432 miles to key west, which company has the better deal? How many miles would Glenna drive before she would be spending the same amount at either company?

Answer: Barbarino's rentals has a better deal.

She has to drive 887.5 miles to spend the same amount at either company.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

<em>Mr.kotters rentals (A) </em>

<em>$99 PER WEEK </em>
<em>$0.11per mile over 100 miles </em>

<em>Barbarino's rentals (B) </em>

<em>$75 per week </em>
<em>$0.15 per mile over 150 miles </em>

For "A"

Cost = 0.11 (432-100) + 99 = $135.52

For "B"

Cost= 0.15 (432-150) +75 = $117.3

Barbarino's rentals has a better deal, since $117.3(B) < $135.52 (A)

To find how many miles would Glenna drive before she would be spending the same amount at either company:

A =B

0.11 (M-100) + 99 =0.15 (M-150) +75 = $117.3

Solving for M (miles)

0.11 M -11+99 = 0.15 M -22.5+75

-11 +99 +22.5 -75 =0.15M -0.11 M

35.5 = 0.04M

35.5/0.04 = M

887.5 =M

She has to drive 887.5 miles to spend the same amount at either company.

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points.<br> 4, 7) and (0, 7)

zubka84 [21]

(4,7)(0,7)

notice how ur points have the same y values....this means this is a horizontal line with a slope of 0.

equation is : y = 7...or y = 0x + 7...but we need it in standard form...
0x + y = 7 <== standard form

Which phrase matches the expression 2v

never [62]

Your answer is B. twice v.

This is because if you were to write out 2v as an expression with its operations, it would be 2 × v, and if you are multiplying v by 2, then the result will be twice the value of v.

I hope this helps!

Determine the number of real solutions for each of the given equations. Equation Number of Solutions y = -3x2 + x + 12 y = 2x2 -

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equations are

$y = -3x^2 + x + 12\\y = 2x^2 - 6x + 5\\y = x^2 + 7x - 11\\y = -x^2 - 8x - 16\\$

Let us understand the term Discriminant of a quadratic equation and its properties

Discriminant is denoted by D and its formula is

$D=b^2-4ac\\$

Where

a= the coefficient of the $x^{2}$

b= the coefficient of $x$

c = constant term

Properties of D: If D

i) D=0 , One real root

ii) D>0 , Two real roots

iii) D<0 , no real root

Hence in the given quadratic equations , we will find the values of D Discriminant and evaluate our answer accordingly .

Let us start with

$y = -3x^2 + x + 12\\a=-3 , b =1 , c =12\\D=1^2-4*(-3)*(12)\\D=1+144\\D=145\\D>0 \\$

Hence we have two real roots for this equation.

$y = 2x^2 - 6x + 5\\$

$y = 2x^2 - 6x + 5\\a=2,b=-6,c=5\\D=(-6)^2-4*2*5\\D=36-40\\D=-4\\D$

Hence we do not have any real root for this quadratic

$y = x^2 + 7x - 11\\a=1,b=7,-11\\D=7^2-4*1*(-11)\\D=49+44\\D=93\\$

Hence D>0 and thus we have two real roots for this equation.

$y = -x^2 - 8x - 16\\a=-1,b=-8,c=-16\\D=(-8)^2-4*(-1)*(-16)\\D=64-64\\D=0\\$

Hence we have one real root to this quadratic equation.
