the town taxi service would be cheapest because you choose a number 1-10 and plug it into N for both equations and see which taxi service is cheaper for miles 1-10 and than it will change for longer distance taxi rides and be the Supreme town taxi service!

The town taxi service is the answer

Hope this helped!!

Compare the costs on both taxi services for rides of 1-10 miles. Which company's prices are generally lower for that range?

Let x = 1 mile.

Supreme: $1.50+$1.75(1) = $3.25; Town: $1.90 + $1.60(1) = $3.50

Next, let x = 10 miles:

Supreme: $1.50+$1.75(10) = $19.00; Town: $1.90 + $1.60(10) = $17.90

Sometimes Supreme is the cheaper option; sometimes Town is. At what # of miles are the charges the same?

Set the charge functions = to each other and solve for x:

$1.50+$1.75x = $1.90 + $1.60x

Combining like terms, we get:

$0.15x = $0.40, so that x = 2 2/3 miles.

Supreme is the cheaper, for trips of 1 - 2 2/3 miles; Town is the cheaper, for trips of 2 2/3 miles - 10 miles.

A company sells tents in two styles, shown below. The sides and floor of each tent are made of nylon. Which tent requires less n
BartSMP [9]

Answer:  Tunnel tent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tent which has the minimum area requires less nylon to manufacture,

Since, the area of Pup tent = Area of 3 square each having side 8 ft + Area of 2 equilateral triangle having side 8 ft

= 3 \times ( 8^2 ) + 2\times \frac{64\sqrt{ 3} }{4}

=  192+ 2\times \frac{64\sqrt{ 3} }{4}

= 192+ 32\sqrt{ 3}

= 247.425625842\approx 247.43\text { square ft}

Now, the area of tunnel tent = Area of square having side 8 ft + total Area of half cylinder having radius 4 ft and height 8 ft

= 8^2 + \frac{1}{2} [ 2\pi\times 4(4+8)]

= 64 + \pi\times 48

= 64 + 3.14\times 48

= 214.72\text { square ft}

Since, 214.72 < 247.43

Thus, Tunnel tent requires less nylon to manufacture.
