The cost of parking is an initial cost plus an hourly cost.
The first hour costs $7.
You need a function for the cost of more than 1 hour,
meaning 2, 3, 4, etc. hours.
Each hour after the first hour costs $5.
1 hour: $7
2 hours: $7 + $5 = 7 + 5 * 1 = 12
3 hours: $7 + $5 + $5 = 7 + 5 * 2 = 17
4 hours: $7 + $5 + $5 + $5 = 7 + 5 * 3 = 22
Notice the pattern above in the middle column.
The number of $5 charges you add is one less than the number of hours.
For 2 hours, you only add one $5 charge.
For 3 hours, you add two $5 charges.
Since the number of hours is x, according to the problem, 1 hour less than the number of hours is x - 1.
The fixed charge is the $7 for the first hour.
Each additional hour is $5, so you multiply 1 less than the number of hours,
x - 1, by 5 and add to 7.
C(x) = 7 + 5(x - 1)
This can be left as it is, or it can be simplified as
C(x) = 7 + 5x - 5
C(x) = 5x + 2
Answer: C(x) = 5x + 2
Check:
For 2 hours: C(2) = 5(2) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
For 3 hours: C(3) = 5(3) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
For 4 hours: C(3) = 5(4) + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
Notice that the totals for 2, 3, 4 hours here
are the same as the right column in the table above.
It should look like a parabola with the part below x-axis cut off. the left side starts from x=-1, opening upward & to the left, the right side starts from x=2, opening upward and to the right.
we have M is durectly porpotional to r^2
so M=(k)r^2
and when r=2, m=14
so 14=(k)(2)^2
k=14/4 =7/2
so when r=12
m= (7/2)(12)^2 =(7/2)(144) = 504
Answer:
Mean: $217,822
Median: $244,614
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean and median sales prices of new homes sold in the United States in February 2016 were $ 217822 and $ 244614 , respectively.
Mean and median, then the term respectively.
This means that first comes the mean, and then the median.
So
Mean: $217,822
Median: $244,614
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We would use the formula for exponential growth model which is expressed as
y = b(1 + r)^t
Where
y represents the population after t years.
t represents the number of years.
b represents the initial population.
r represents rate of growth.
From the information given,
b = 5655
r = 1.4% = 1.4/100 = 0.014
Therefore, the equation would be
y = 5655(1 + 0.014)^t
y = 5655(1.014)^t
b) in 2022, t = 2022 - 2010 = 12 years
y = 5655(1.014)^12
y = 6682
