For this case we have an equation of the form:
 y = A (b) ^ t
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: decrease rate
 t: time
 Substituting values:
 y = 750 (0.5) ^ ((1/15) * t)
 The number of days to reach 68 mg is:
 68 = 750 (0.5) ^ ((1/15) * t)
 Clearing t:
 (0.5) ^ ((1/15) * t) = (68/750)
 log0.5 ((0.5) ^ ((1/15) * t)) = log0.5 (68/750)
 (1/15) * t = log0.5 (68/750)
 t = 15 * log0.5 (68/750)
 t = 51.94
 Rounding:
 t = 52 days
 Answer:
 
D. ≈ 52 days

Answer:

  • 260 miles
  • $73.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of each plan (y) is the sum of the initial fee and the product of the mileage charge and the number of miles (x).

First Plan: y = 40 +0.13x

Second Plan: y = 53 +0.08x

__

We can find when the costs are the same by solving this system of equations. A way to do that is to subtract the second equation from the first:

  (y) -(y) = (40 +0.13x) -(53 +0.08x)

  0 = -13 +0.05x

Multiplying by 20 gives ...

  0 = -260 +x

Adding 260, we have ...

  x = 260

The plans cost the same for 260 miles of driving.

__

The cost of the plans for that distance is ...

  y = 40 +0.13x = 40 +0.13(260) = 40 +33.80

  y = 73.80

The cost when the two plans cost the same is $73.80.

Heather was asked to graph 3x - y = -4 by using slope and y-intercept. Her graph is shown.
irakobra [83]
Hello! The y-intercept is (0, 4), because the line crosses 0 in the x-axis at that point. We can cross out C and D, because those don't show that. The slope is rise/run. You would go up 3, and go to the right once. If you need to, solve for slope by doing y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. Let's use the point (0, 4) and (1, 7) as an example. We would set it up like this: 7 - 4 / 1 - 0. Solving that would give us 3/1 or just simply three. The slope is positive 3 and the y-intercept is (0, 4). The answer is A.

Which terms in the following expression are like terms?
Alinara [238K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c)  5x and 3x, and 4 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms have the same variable(s) to the same power(s).

The terms of this expression are ...

  • x^3: variable x, power 3
  • 5x: variable x, power 1
  • -3x: variable x, power 1
  • 3y: variable y, power 1
  • 4: no variable
  • -1: no variable

The like terms are {5x, -3x}, which have the x-variable to the first power, and {4, -1}, which have no variable.
