The monthly cost of driving a car depends on the number of miles driven. Lynn found that in May her driving cost was $380 for 48

0 mi and in June her cost was $460 for 800 mi. Assume that there is a linear relationship between the monthly cost C of driving a car and the distance x driven. (a) Find a linear function C that models the cost of driving x miles per month. (b) Draw a graph of C. What is the slope of this line? (c) At what rate does Lynn's cost increase for every additional mile she drives?

Answer:

a) see attachment

b) Cost f(distance) = 0.25d + 260

c) $0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

b) The linear relationship between two variables is as follows:

C f(d) = m*d + k .... Eq 1

Where, m and k are constants to be evaluated

Find m: we will find slope of the line between two points (480,$380) & (800,$460)

Slope of line (m) = \frac{460-380}{800-480} = $0.25 / mile

Find k: consider one of the two points and input in Eq 1 using (480,$380)

k = 380 - 0.25(480) = $260

The equation of line is C f(d) = 0.25*d +260.

We can use this equation for plotting the graph for part a

c) Rate of cost / mile is given by the slope of the graph if scruutinized on the units; hence, $0.25

Used use euler's method with step size 0.1 to estimate y(0.5), where y(x) is the solution of the initial-value problem y ' = y +
brilliants [131]
We want to solve the Initial Value Problem y' = y + 4xy, with y(0) = 1.

To use Euler's method, define
y(i+1) = y(i) + hy'(i),  for i=0,1,2, ..., 
where
h = 0.1, the step size.,
x(i) = i*h

1st step.
y(0) = 1 (given) and x(0) = 0.
y(1) ≡ y(0.1) = y(0) + h*[4*x(0)*y(0)] = 1 

2nd step.
x(1) = 0.1
y(2) ≡ y(0.2) = y(1) + h*[4*x(1)*y(1)] = 1 + 0.1*(4*0.1*1) = 1.04

3rd step.
x(2) = 0.2
y(3) ≡ y(0.3) = y(2) + h*[4*x(2)*y(2)] = 1.04 + 0.1*(4*0.2*1.04) = 1.1232

4th step.
x(3) = 0.3
y(4) ≡ y(0.4) = y(3) + h*[4*x(3)*y(3)] = 1.1232 + 0.1*(4*0.3*1.1232) = 1.258

5th step.
x(4) = 0.4
y(5) ≡ y(0.5) = y(4) + h*[4*x(4)*y(4)] = 1.258 + 0.1*(4*0.4*1.258) = 1.4593

Answer:  y(0.5) = 1.4593

Answer: 0.40 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 13 = 7x - 15

15 - 13 = 7x - 3x

2 = 5x

2/5 = x
