First: Read the problem entirely.
Second: List information and variables you identify. add units of measure to tje variables.
Third: Define what the answer you are solving for is as well as the units of measurement applied.
Fourth: Work a neatly
Fifth: Look for the key words that let you know what exactly you are doing(-,+,/,*)

You plan to go skiing this weekend in Tennessee. The ski resort charges $18.50 per hour in addition to a $100 deposit to rent sk

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Part a) $y=18.50x+100$

Part b) The total cost is $\$220.25$

Part c) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write a linear equation to represent this situation

Define the variables

Let

x ----> the number of hours

y ----> the total cost in dollars

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope or the unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

In this problem we have that

The unit rate or slope is equal to

$m=\$18.50\ per\ hour$

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

$b=\$100$

substitute

$y=18.50x+100$

Part b) Use the equation to find the total cost to rent skis from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm

Remember that

3:00 pm=15:00

from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, the total hours is equal to

15:00 -8:30=6:30=6.5 h

For x=6.5 h

substitute in the linear equation and solve for y

$y=18.50(6.5)+100\\y=\$220.25$

Part c) What does your answer mean in context of the problem?

we have that

y=220.25

That means -----> The total cost to rent skis for 6.5 hours is equal to $220.25

How can I memorize square roots 1-30?. I got the list from yahoo answers:. . . 1² = 1. 2² = 4. 3² = 9. 4² = 16. 5² = 25. 6² = 36

pshichka [43]

I think the best way in memorizing the roots of numbers 1 - 30 is by through methods that would suitable for you but you must consider is the pattern in each number or the square, every number has it pattern and i know you realized it by now. I hope this would help

What is the equation in slope intercept form?

patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of -1/3. For lines to be perpendicular there product must equal negative 1

m1(m2)=-1

-m/3=-1

m=3

So we know our line has a slope of three so

y=3x+b, we can solve for the y intercept, b, using point (-2,8)

8=3(-2)+b

8=-6+b

b=14, so our line is

y=3x+14
