Using this equation, f(3) = 23.
In order to find the value of f(3), we need to take the f(x) equation and put 3 everywhere we see x. Then we follow the order of operations to solve. So, let's start with the original.
f(x) = 2x^2 + 5sqrt(x - 2)
Now place 3 in for each x.
f(3) = 2(3)^2 + 5sqrt(3 - 2)
Now square the 3.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5 sqrt(3 - 2)
Do the subtraction inside of the parenthesis.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5sqrt(1)
Take the square root
f(3) = 2(9) + 5(1)
Multiply.
f(3) = 18 + 5
And add.
f(3) = 23
-3x+5y=30
+3x+5y=30
5y=3x+30
divide 5 by everything
answer: y=3/5x+6
P(x)=R(x)-C(x)
=(-0.5x²+800x-100)-(300x+250)
=-0.5x²+800x-100-300x-250
=-0.5x²+800x-300x-100-250
=-0.5x²+500x-350 (2)
According to my calculations, after 200 miles, the prices will be equal.
