Two car rental companies charge an initial rental fee plus a fee per day. The table shows the total costs of renting a car for x

days from
Discount Car Rentals. The total costy (in dollars) of renting a car for x days from Pay Less Rentals is represented by the equation
y=25x + 170. Which rental company charges less per day? How many days must you rent a car for the total costs to be the same?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two car rental companies charge an initial rental fee and a fee per day.

Total cost for the company A is given by the equation,

y = 25x + 170

Car A charges $25 per day. [Slope of the line]

Another car rental company B charges as per table attached.

Per day car rental for the company B = $\frac{270-180}{4-2}$

= $\frac{90}{2}$

= $45 per day

Therefore, per day rental charged by company A is less.

Let the equation for the car rental by company A is,

y = mx + b

where m = per day rental charged by company A = $21.5

y = 45x + b

One point (2, 180) from the table lies on the equation.

Therefore, 180 = 45(2) + b

b = 180 - 90

b = 90

So the equation will be,

y = 45x + 90

If both the company charge the same after x day of rental,

45x + 90 = 25x + 170

45x - 25x = 170 - 90

20x = 80

x = 4

After 4 days car rentals for both the companies will be same.

Find the equation for intercept x 4 and y -7

nadezda [96]

Answer:

y = $\frac{-7x}{4} - 14$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation used to find the equation for a line with two intercepts is called point slope form. $y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$ , where $y_{1}$ and $x_{1}$ are the intercept points and m is the slope.

However, we need the slope to use this formula.

Use $m = \frac{y_{1} - y_{2} }{x_{1} - x_{2}}$

m = \frac{y_{1} - y_{2} }{x_{1} - x_{2}}

$m = \frac{((0) - (7))}{((4) - (0))}$

$m = \frac{-7}{4}$

$y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$

y - ( -7 ) = m ( x - ( 4 ) )

y - ( -7 ) = -7/4 ( x - ( 4 ) )

y + 7 = -7/4 ( x + 4 )

y + 7 = $\frac{-7(x+4)}{4}$

y + 7 = $\frac{-7x-28}{4}$

y + 7 = $\frac{-7x}{4} - 7$

y + 7 = $\frac{-7x}{4} - 7$ - 7

y = $\frac{-7x}{4} - 14$

NASA scientists discovered a planet in December of 2004. After observation, they have come to a conclusion that the population d

AURORKA [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

so, there is a population in that planet. right ?

that means they discovered a populated planet.

anyway,

18 years

p0 is the start population.

p0 × 2 after 3 years

p0 × 2 × 2 = p0 × 4 after 6 years

p0 × 4 / 6 after 6 years

(p0 × 4 / 6) × 2 after 9 years

(p0 × 4 / 6) × 4 after 12 years = p0 × 8/3 after 12 years

(p0 × 8/3) / 6 after 12 years = p0 × 8/18 = p0 × 4/9

p0 × 4/9 × 2 after 15 years

p0 × 4/9 × 4 after 18 years

p0 × 4/9 × 4 / 6 after 18 years = p0×16/54 = p0 × 8/27 = 512

p0 = 512×27/8 = 1728

p(n) = p0 × (2/3)^(n/6)

with n being years.

because

the population changes by a factor 2 every 3 years = 2^(n/3)

and by a factor 1/6 every 6 years = (1/6)^(n/6).

so,

p(n) = p0 × 2^(n/3) × (1/6)^(n/6)

2^(n/3) = 2^(2n/6) = 2²^(n/6) = 4^(n/6)

therefore,

p(n) = p0 × 4^(n/6) × (1/6)^(n/6) =

= p0 × (4/6)^(n/6) = p0 × (2/3)^(n/6)
