(3,15)(6,30)
slope = (30 - 15) / (6 - 3) = 15/3 = 5...so 5 gallons wasted per day

-3/v=-6 simply as much as possible

Hey!

In order to simplify this equation, we'll first have to multiply both sides of the equation by v. This will give us v on its own.

<em>Original Equation :</em>
$\frac{-3}{v} = -6$

<em>New Equation {Added Multiply Both Sides by V} :</em>
$\frac{-3}{v} v=-6v$

<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em>
$-3 = -6v$

Now we'll switch sides to get v on the left side of the equation which is generally where we always want the variables to be located in these types of equations.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
$-3 = -6v$

<em>New Equation {Switched} :</em>
$-6v=-3$

Now we'll divide both sides by v to get v on its own.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
$-6v = -3$

<em>New Equation {Added Divide Both Sides by V} :</em>
$\frac{-6v}{v} = \frac{-3}{v}$

<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em>
$v = \frac{1}{2}$

<em>So, this means that in the equation $\frac{-3}{v} =-6$ ,</em> $v = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Hope this helps!

A car rental agency rents 190 cars per day at a rate of 29 dollars per day. for each 1 dollar increase in the daily rate, 5 fewe

Leviafan [203]

The equation that we can create from this situation is:

i = (190 – 5 x) * (29 + x)

where i is the income and x is the increase in daily rate

Expanding the equation:

i = 5510 + 190x – 145x - 5x^2

i = -5x^2 + 45x + 5510

Taking the 1st derivative:

di/dx = -10x +45

Set to zero to get the maxima:

-10x + 45 = 0

x = 4.5

So the cars should be rented at:

29 + x = 33.5 dollars per day

The maximum income is:

i = (190 – 5*4.5) * (33.5)

i = 5,611.25 dollars
