Answer:

10.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the total cost paid as a function of the # of miles driven:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x

and set this equal to $40.03 to determine the # of miles Lupita rode:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x = $40.03

Isolate the x term by subtracting $6.75 from both sides:

($3.20/mile)x = $40.03 - $6.75 = $33.28

Finally, divide both sides by  ($3.20/mile):

x = $33.28 /  ($3.20/mile)

  =  10.4 miles

Lupita rode 10.4 miles in the taxi.

Which is a qualitative graph? On a coordinate plane, a line with positive slope goes through points (negative 1, 0) and (0, 3).
guapka [62]

Answer:

(-1,0), (0,3) and (2,2.25)

Step-by-step explanation:

The qualitative graph is as follows:

A(-1,0) ------> B(0,3) ------> C(2,2.25)

Hence, slope = (2.25 - 0)/(2 - (-1)) = 2.25/3

∴ slope = 0.75

Find the equation of the tangent line to the graph of f(a) = sec(a) at the point (0, 1).
Paladinen [302]
Let the required equation be y = mx + c; where y = 1, m = f'(0), x = 0
f(a) = sec(a)
f'(a) = sec(a)tan(a)
f'(0) = sec(0)tan(0) = 0

y = mx + c
1 = 0(0) + c
c = 1

Therefore, required equation is
y = 1.
