A taxi charges a flat rate of $3.00, plus an additional $0.50 per mile. Carl will only take the taxi home if the cost is under $

10, otherwise he will take a bus. Carl is 15 miles from home. Explain how to write and solve an inequality to determine if Carl will take the taxi or a bus.

Answer:

No, Carl can't go by taxi, sadly, and because he is poor. How I know is by first, making an inequality to solve this problem.  Let the variable x be the number of miles. The first inequality would be 0.50x+3<10. I you plug x for 15, the inequality would be ($0.50 * 15) + $3 <  $10. We need a less than sign (<) because Carl says the price has to be under and not equal to. Then we have to simplify it by multiplying 0.50 by 15. When you do that, you will get $7.5. If you put that back to the inequality, then it would be $7.5 + $3 < $10. After you do simple math and add, you will know that Carl is short of money by 50 cents. This shows why Carl does not have enough money , and has to take the bus.

¿Cuál de las siguientes funciones es una función constante? Seleccione una: a. Y=x+1 b. Y=x+2 c. X=y+3 d. Y=3
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Option D y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

Which of the following functions is a constant function?

we know that

A <u>constant function</u> is a function whose output value is the same for every input value

so

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

case A) y=x+1

This is not a constant function, this is a linear equation

Is a function whose output value is different for every input value

case B) y=x+2

This is not a constant function, this is a linear equation

Is a function whose output value is different for every input value

case C) x=y+3

This is not a constant function, this is a linear equation

Is a function whose output value is different for every input value

case D) y=3

This is a constant function

Is a function whose output value is the same for every input value

suppose the circumference of a crop circle is 150.7968 hectometers (hm) what's the radius of the circle? (usett=3.1416)​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The radius of the circle is 24\ hm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of a circle is equal to

C=2\pi r

In this problem we have

C=150.7968\ hm

\pi=3.1416

substitute and solve for r

150.7968=2(3.1416)r

r=150.7968/(2(3.1416))=24\ hm
