Answer:

b)
If we want to minimize the cost then we should rent the Acme Truck company.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the following questions.
(a) Find the daily cost of leasing from each company as a function of the number of miles driven and sketch the graph of these functions.
For the Ace truck we know that leases its 10-ft box truck at $20/day and $0.50/mi. So then f(x) representing the daily cost is given by:
Where x represent the number of miles driven
For the Acme Truck we know that leases a similar truck at $15/day and $0.55/mi, so then the g*x( representing daily cost would be given by:
Where x represent the miles driven.
We can see the plot on the figure attached.
(b) Which company should you rent a truck from for 1 day if you plan to drive 70 miles and wish to minimize cost?
If we replace the value x=70 for both functions we got:
If we want to minimize the cost then we should rent the Acme Truck company.
Answer:
Solution (1.8,1.61)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us do it one by one.
Graph 1 :
y=-3x+7
Let us find some random coordinates to graph this equation
x = 0 ; y = -3(0)+7 = 7
(0,7)
x=1 ; y=-3(1) + 7 = -3+7=4
(1,4)
Plotting these coordinates on graph , and joining them will give us the line on the graph.
Graph 2 :
y = Sqrt ( 2x-1)
let us find random cordinates for some values of x
x=1, y = sqrt (2(1)-1) = sqrt (1) = 1
(1,1)
x=0.5 , y = sqrt (2(0.5)-1) = sqrt (0) = 0
(0.5,0)
Hence we have two coordinates , now we also see that , after comparing it from standard form of an square root function,
the square root function is upper half of parabola opening towards right and the point of origin is (0.5,0)
Let us find the solution , for that we need to put y=-3x+7 in y=sqrt (2x-1)
and we get
-3x+7=sqrt (2x-1)
squaring on both sides we get
9x^2+49-42x=2x-1
9x^2-44x+50=0
solving it with quadratic formula
x=[-b+sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
we get x = 1.8 and replacing it in first equation we get y = 1.61
Hence the solution will be (1.8,1.61)
