Two car rental companies charge an initial rental fee plus a fee per day. The table shows the total costs of renting a car for x

days from Discount Car Rentals. The total cost y (in dollars) of renting a car for x days from Pay Less Rentals is represented by the equation y=55x + 60. Which rental company charges less per day? How many days must you rent a car for the total costs to be the same?​

Answer:

a) Which rental company charges less per day?

Payless rental company

b) How many days must you rent a car for the total costs to be the same?​

3 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have car rental companies

Discount car rentals and Pay less car rentals.

x = number of days

y = Total cost.

a) Let's assume the starting day of renting a car is 2 days

We need to determine the Equation for discount rentals.

For Discount car rentals

2 days = $185

4 days = $265

6 days = $345

8 days = $425

The difference between 2 days = $265 - $185 = $80

If the difference between 2 days = $80

Difference between 1 day = $80/2

= $40

If you rent a car for 1 day,

185 - 40 =$145

Hence, the Equation for payment for Discount rentals =

y = 40x + 105

b) For Pay less car rentals

This equation was given: y = 55x + 60.

y = Total cost, x = number of days

a) 1 day

y = 55(1) + 60

y = $115

b) 2 days

y = 55(2) + 60

y = 110 + 60

y = $170

c) 3 days

y = 55(3) + 60

= 165 + 60

= $225

d)For 4 days

y = 55x + 60.

y = 55 × 4 + 60

y = 220 + 60

y = $280

e) For 5 days

y = 55x + 60.

y = 55 × 5 + 60

y = 275 + 60

y = $335

f) For 6 days

y = 55x + 60.

y = 55 × 6 + 60

y = 330 + 60

y = $380

g) For 7 days

y = 55x + 60.

y = 55 × 7 + 60

y = 385 + 60

y = $445

h) For 8 days

y = 55x + 60.

y = 55 × 8 + 60

y = 440 + 60

y = $500

a) Which rental company charges less per day?

The total coast for renting a car as determined in the above calculation

For 1 day in Discount car rentals = $145

For 1 day in Payless car rentals = $115

From the above calculation, it is Payless rental company

b) How many days must you rent a car for the total costs to be the same?

We equate both equations to each other

y = 40x + 105 = y = 55x + 60.

40x + 105 = 55x + 60

105 - 60 = 55x - 40x

45 = 15x

x = 45/15

x = 3 days.

Therefore, after 3 days, the total cost of renting a car from Discount car rentals or Payless car rentals is the same.

The cube of twice a number
raketka [301]

Answer:

The cube of twice a number.

Twice a quantity usually indicates to take two of the things in question; usually this indicates to multiply by 2. Thus "twice a number x" can be written symbolically as 2x. If this is part of a problem, say twice a number x is 6, then we can rewrite algebraically as 2x=6; dividing both sides by 2 yields x=3.

Factor 6x4 – 5x2 + 12x2 – 10 by grouping. What is the resulting expression?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

(6x² - 5)(x² + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x^{4} - 5x² + 12x² - 10 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= x²(6x² - 5) + 2(6x² - 5) ← factor out (6x² - 5) from each term

= (6x² - 5)(x² + 2)

use the general slicing method to find the volume of The solid whose base is the triangle with vertices (0 comma 0 )​, (15 comma
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

volume V of the solid

\boxed{V=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{12}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation is depicted in the picture attached

(see picture)

First, we divide the segment [0, 5] on the X-axis into n equal parts of length 5/n each

[0, 5/n], [5/n, 2(5/n)], [2(5/n), 3(5/n)],..., [(n-1)(5/n), 5]

Now, we slice our solid into n slices.  

Each slice is a quarter of cylinder 5/n thick and has a radius of  

-k(5/n) + 5  for each k = 1,2,..., n (see picture)

So the volume of each slice is  

\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-k(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}

for k=1,2,..., n

We then add up the volumes of all these slices

\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}+\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-2(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}+...+\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-n(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}

Notice that the last term of the sum vanishes. After making up the expression a little, we get

\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left[(-(5/n)+5)^2+(-2(5/n)+5)^2+...+(-(n-1)(5/n)+5)^2\right]=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}(-k(5/n)+5)^2

But

\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}(-k(5/n)+5)^2=\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}((5/n)^2k^2-(50/n)k+25)=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left((5/n)^2\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2-(50/n)\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k+25(n-1)\right)

we also know that

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2=\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{6}

and

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k=\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)}{2}

so we have, after replacing and simplifying, the sum of the slices equals

\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left((5/n)^2\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2-(50/n)\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k+25(n-1)\right)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left(\displaystyle\frac{25}{n^2}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{6}-\displaystyle\frac{50}{n}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)}{2}+25(n-1)\right)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{n^3}

Now we take the limit when n tends to infinite (the slices get thinner and thinner)

\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}\displaystyle\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{n^3}=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}\displaystyle\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}(2-3/n+1/n^2)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}.2=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{12}

and the volume V of our solid is

\boxed{V=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{12}}
