Answer:

(a) The cost if a person drives 160 miles is 77 dollars

(b) the person drive 375 miles

(c) the maximum number of miles the person can drive is 775 milles

(d) the implied domain of C is numbers bigger than zero

(e) the slope says how cost every mille that a person drive .

(f) the y- intercept says what is the minimum value of renting the truck even if a person doesn’t drive any mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cost C is given by the function: C(x)=0.2*x+45

Then, for calculate the cost if a person drives 160 miles, we should replace x by 160 miles in the function, So:

C(x)=0.2*160+45

C(x)=77 dollars

For calculate how many miles did the person drive if the cost of renting is 120, we replace C(X) with 120 and solve for x as:

120=0.2*x+45

120-45=0.2*x

X=375 miles

For calculate  the maximum number of miles the person can drive if that person wants the cost to be no more than $200, we replace C(X) with 200 and solve for x as:

200=0.2*x+45

200-45=0.2*x

X=775 miles

In this case, we know that the cost could be 200 or less then if the person drive 775 miles or less, the cost is always going to be less than 200.

The domain are the values that the variable x can take, so it make sense that a person can drive any value of miles that are bigger than zero.

The slope of the function is the number that is multiplied with the variable x, so this number say what is the cost of every mile that a person drive. This means that every mile driven cost 0.2 dollars

The y intercept is the value that doesn’t have a variable multiplying. this is the fixed cost of renting a car, so if a person drive zero miles the cost of renting is 45 dollars.

Give each month a number:

January = 0

February = 1

March = 2

April = 3

Now set X to 3 in the equation ad solve for t.

t = -30cos(x/6) +60

t = -30cos(3/6) +60

t = 33.672 degrees. ( Round as necessary)

You would need to change the +60 to a new starting point based on what the rise in temperature is due to global warming.

Put 3/8, 2/5, and 0.38 from least to greatest
Vesnalui [34]
3/8=0.375
2/5=0.4
0.38=0.38

0.375<0.38<0.4

therefore: 3/8,0.38,2/5

*Remember that you can convert fractions to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator! This makes it much easier to compare :)

Answer:

He did not regroup hundredths when adding digits

Step-by-step explanation:

30.24

+16.26

-----------

46.50

It can't be the first two, and because .04+.06 are hundredths, it must be the third one.

He did not regroup hundredths when adding digits.
