Piper is deciding between two truck rental companies. Company A charges an initial fee of $35 for the rental plus $3 per mile dr

iven. Company B charges an initial fee of $80 for the rental plus $2 per mile driven. Let AA represent the amount Company A would charge if Piper drives xx miles, and let BB represent the amount Company B would charge if Piper drives xx miles. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of x,x, and determine the interval of miles driven, x,x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B.

Answer:

An equation for each situation, in terms of x

A = 35 + 3x

B = 80 + 2x

The interval of miles driven x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B is 0 to 44.9 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the amount Company A would charge if Piper drives x miles

Let B represent the amount Company B would charge if Piper drives x miles.

Company A charges an initial fee of $35 for the rental plus $3 per mile driven.

A= $35 + $3 × x

A = 35 + 3x

Company B charges an initial fee of $80 for the rental plus $2 per mile driven.

B = $80 + $2 × x

B = 80 + 2x

The interval of miles driven x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B.

= A < B

35 + 3x < 80 + 2x

3x - 2x < 80 - 35

x < 45 miles

That is: any number of miles driven below 45 miles makes Company A cheaper than Company B

The interval of miles driven x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B is 0 to 44.9 miles.

Use the divergence theorem to find the outward flux of the vector field F(xyz)= 4x^2 i + 4y^2 j + 3z^2 k across the boundary of

Pavel [41]

$\vec F(x,y,z)=4x^2\,\vec\imath+4y^2\,\vec\jmath+3z^2\,\vec k\implies\nabla\cdot\vec F=8x+8y+6z$

Let $S$ be the surface of the rectangular prism bounded by the planes $x=0$ , $x=a$ , $y=0$ , $y=b$ , $z=0$ , and $z=c$ . By the divergence theorem, the integral of $\vec F$ over $S$ is given by the integral of $\nabla\cdot\vec F$ over the interior of $S$ (call it $R$ ):

$\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\iiint_R(\nabla\cdot\vec F)\,\mathrm dV$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^c\int_0^b\int_0^a(8x+8y+6z)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz=\boxed{abc(4a+4b+3c)}$

What is the slope of the equation y – 3 = –4(x – 5)?

Gemiola [76]

Find the x and y intercepts or any other 2 points. (I advise you finding the y intercept though.)

then calculate for slope using:
y(2) - y(1)
________
x(2) - x(1)

The (2) and (1) are not exponents they are small numbers at the bottom of the numbers.

The slope is: 4

Which of these relations is a function?<br> I’m I correct??

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

the first one on the bottom

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a little trick to find out if it is a function or not. This trick is called the vertical line test. if you can scan the figure with a virtual line and it does not touch more than one side of the figure at one time then it is a function. if it touches more than one side or line of the figure it is not a function.
