The cost of having a package delivered has a base fee of $9.70. Every pound over 5 lbs cost an additional $0.46 per pound. Write

a linear model that represents the cost, C, for the total weight, w, in pounds of the package. Assume 5 lbs.
a.
C = 9.7w + 0.46
c.
C = 0.46w + 9.7
b.
C = 0.46w + 12
d.
C = 0.46(w - 5) + 9.7

Answer is D

<u>Answer:</u>

Option(d)

C = 0.46(w - 5) + 9.7

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given that the delivery cost of any package has a fixed value of 9.7$ and an additional value for every 5 lbs extra weight and the additional value is given to be 0.46.

The equation for total cost C for given total weight w can be written by

sum of fixed value and every 5 extra lbs

which can be represented by the equation

C= 0.46(w-5) + 97.

Hence,  this represents a linear model for the given data.

The price tag on a shirt says $12.58. Sales tax is 7.5% of the price. How much will you pay for the shirt?
damaskus [11]

Answer: You will pay $13.52 for this shirt.

Step-by-step explanation: 0.9435

Since the tax is 7.5%, you have to multiply 12.58 by 7.5% to find the amount of money paid as tax.

7.5% = 0.075

12.58 x 0.075 = 0.9435

Since we are dealing with money we have to round to the nearest hundredth -- 0.9435 = 0.94

Then to find the final cost of the shirt, we have to add 12.58 and 0.94 to get  $13.52.

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 8x + 4, expressed in simplest radical form?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming it is x^{2} +8x+4

Using Quadratic formular -

a - 1

b - 8

c - 4

x= \frac{ -8 -,+ \sqrt{(8^2) - 4 (1)(4)}}{2(1)} \\\\

x = \frac{-8 +,- \sqrt{48} }{2}\\\\

x = \frac{-8+,- 4\sqrt{3} }{2}

x = {-4+,- 2\sqrt{3} }

What is the value of x in the diagram?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2+ ( 2x+2)^2 = (2x+3)^2

FOIL the squared terms

x^2 +(4x^2 + 4x+4x+4) = 4x^2 + 6x+6x +9

Combine like terms

5x^2+8x +4 = 4x^2 +12x +9

Subtract  4x^2 +12x +9 from each side

5x^2+8x +4  -4x^2 -12x -9= 4x^2 +12x +9-4x^2 -12x -9

x^2 -4x -5 =0

Factor

(x-5) (x+1) = 0

Using the zero product property

x=5   x=-1

But x cannot be negative or we would have negative length

x=5

Which of the following has a slope of -3 and a y intercept of -5
yarga [219]
The answer is 2, y=-3x-5
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept.
So if m=-3 and b=-5, the equation is y = -3x -5
