Answer:

The number of trucks and sedans can be

(0 trucks ,26 sedans)

(8 trucks ,21 sedans)

(24 trucks ,11 sedans)

(25 trucks ,1 sedans)

(32 trucks ,6 sedans)

(16 trucks ,16 sedans)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The  cost for trucks =$5

The cost for sedans  =$8

The total amount collected = $208

To Find:

Number of trucks and sedans passed through the toll booth =?

Solution:

Let the number of trucks be x and the number of sedans be y

Then

5x + 8y = 208-------------------------------(1)

By Trail and error method

5(0) + 8(26) = 208

5(8) + 8(21) = 208

5(24) +8(11) =208

5(25) + 8(1) = 208

5(32) + 8(6) =208

5(16) + 8(16) = 208

Olivia is making model cars to go on shelves in her room. The number of wheels she uses is a function of how many cars she makes
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Domain = 1 to 7

Range = 4 to 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of wheels used is a function of number of cars manufactured.

Number of wheels present = 28

1 car uses 4 wheels

2 cars use 8 wheels.

3 car uses 12 wheels

and so on.

Let the function be of the form:

y =f(x)

Domain of the function is the value of x that can be given as valid input to the function.

Range of the function is the value of y that can be output of the function.

Let x be the number of cars manufactured.

Then value of y is nothing but x times 4.

y=4x

We are given that maximum value of y can be 28.

28 = 4x\\\Rightarrow x =7

Therefore, maximum value of input can be 7.

Minimum number of wheels can be 4 to make a minimum of 1 car.

Therefore domain is 4 to 28 and range is 1 to 7.
