Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the monthly charge has the following format
In which y(x) is the cost in function of the number of kilowatt-hours used(x), a is the price of each killowatt hour and b is the fixed(base) charge.
Base charge of $17.32 per month.
This means that
charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour
Our answer is in dollars. Each dollar is 100 cents. So 7.32 cents is
Write an equation for the monthly charge y in terms of x, the number of kilowatt-hours used.
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = or x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem because two right triangles are formed.
c² = a² + b²
c = 10
a = x
b = x Because in a square all the sides measure the same.
10² = x² + x²
- Simplify
100 = 2x²
x² = 100/2
x² = 50
x = or x = 5
