Answer:
10.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation for the total cost paid as a function of the # of miles driven:
L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x
and set this equal to $40.03 to determine the # of miles Lupita rode:
L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x = $40.03
Isolate the x term by subtracting $6.75 from both sides:
($3.20/mile)x = $40.03 - $6.75 = $33.28
Finally, divide both sides by ($3.20/mile):
x = $33.28 / ($3.20/mile)
= 10.4 miles
Lupita rode 10.4 miles in the taxi.
If you change both to a fraction you would see that you have 1/6 and 1/4 (.25 as a fraction). So 1/5 would be in between them.
You could also change both as a decimal. 1/6 =.166666 and .25 so any number in between them would be correct such as .2 which is the same as 1/5.
-9x^3-72x^2+36=3x^3+x^2-3x+8 Add 9x^3 to both sides.
-72x^2 + 36 = 3x^3 + 9x^3 + x^2 - 3x + 8 Add 72x^2 to both sides
36 = 12x^3 + 73x^2 - 3x + 8 Subtract 36 from both sides.
0 = 12x^3 + 73x^2 - 3x - 28
It does factor, but it is not very nice.
(x + 6.06)(x - 6.09)(x + 0.632)
