Answer:

Option D is correct

$2.50 per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form:

The equation of line is given by:

y = mx+b                      .....[1]

where,

m is the slope of the line.

b is the y-intercept

As per the statement:

The function y = 3.75 + 2.50(x - 3)

where, y can be used to determine the cost in dollars for a uber ride of x miles.

Using distributive property: a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c

we have;

y = 3.75+2.50x-7.50

⇒y = 2.50x-3.75

On comparing with [1];

m = 2.50

⇒rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles = $2.50 per mile

therefore, $2.50 is the rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles

<span>The cost of each mile is $2.50.

If you simplify the expression given you will get the following.
y = 3.75 + 2.50(x - 3)
y = 3.75 + 2.50x - 7.50
y = 2.50x - 3.75.

Knowing that x is the number of miles and 2.50 is the number being multiplied by, we know that the cost per mile is 2.50. </span>

Use the formula s=32, 512(1.10)^t to calculate your salary after 2 years. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

s = $39,340

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

Note: I will use the symbol "n" instead of "t" in the solution.

<u>The given formula is:</u>

s = 32,512 * (1.1)ⁿ where "n" is the number of years.

We want to get the salary after 2 years. This means that we will substitute with n = 2 in the above equation and get the value of s.

<u>This is shown as follows:</u>

s = 32,512 * (1.1)²

s = $39,339.52 which is approximately $39,340

Hope this helps :)
