Answer:

(a) C(d) = 270 + 0.20d
(b) C(1800) = 630
(c) see attached (lower right graph). The slope represents the cost (in dollars) per mile.
(d) It represents the fixed cost (amount she pays even if she does not drive)
(e) the cost increases as the number of miles driven increases

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) You are given two points, (d, C) = (360, 342) and (780, 426). The two-point form of the equation for a line can be helpful.

... y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

Using the given points and variables, ...

... C = (426 -342)/(780 -360)(d -360) +342

... C = (84/420)(d -360) +342

... C = 0.20d +270 . . . . the equation for cost as a function of miles driven

(b) Fill in the value for d and do the arithmetic.

... C = 0.20·1800 +270 = 360 +270 = 630

(c) The slope of the curve is (change in dollars)/(change in miles) = $/mile, the cost of each mile driven. (It is $0.20 per mile.)

(d) The C-intercept is C(0) = cost for 0 miles driven. (It is $270.)

(e) Both your own experience and the problem statement tell you that the cost of vehicle operation varies with miles driven. If nothing else, you need to pay more for gas the farther you drive.

(In real life, you don't expect the model to be exactly linear, becasue you get a large jump in cost when you reach certain maintenance interval miles: 15,000, 30,000, and so on.)

Answer:

C: -2<x≤7

Step-by-step explanation:

-2<x, as there is an open circle on -2
x≤7 as there is a closed circle on 7

Put them together, -2<x≤7

A 1x1 square and an n-tiling is a group of n tiles placed so that every tile is contiguous along at least one side to another ti

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first picture below shows the missing image in the question.

There are 4 edges of each tile;

This clearly explains to us that the total number of edges present in the n tiles is 4n.

Now, if a tile "X" touches and comes in contact with another tile "Y", then edges touching each other are one edge of a tile X and one edge of a tile Y.

From the second diagram below, the edge, X_2, and Y_4 are touching each other.

Now, the total number of edges that touch some edges is always even.

We can now say that:

The edge length of filling = No. of edges that do not touch another file

= Total no. of edges - No. of edges that touch another edge.

However, the total number of edges is even.

The number of edges that touch another edge is also even.

Thus, the difference is also even and the number of edges that do not touch another is even.

So, the edge length of filling is always even.
