UPS charges $6.00 for the first pound, $1.00 for the second pound, and $0.15 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $4.00 for

the first pound, $2.00 for second pound, and $0.25 for each additional pound. How many pounds, p, will it take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same? Complete the equation that represents this situation.

Answer:

12 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We we need to write equations to represent the situation in this problem.

x=weight of package

UPS cost=6+1+0.15(x-2)

UPS cost=6+1+0.15x-0.3

UPS cost=6.7+0.15x

FedEx cost=4+2+.25(x-2)

FedEx cost=4+2+0.25x-0.5

FedEx cost=5.5+0.25x

Next, we can set the two equations equal to each other to solve for x.

6.7+0.15x=5.5+0.25x

6.7+0.15x-5.5=5.5+0.25x-5.5

1.2+0.15x-0.15x=0.25x-0.15x

1.2/0.1=0.1x/0.1

x=12

It takes 12 pounds for the UPS and FedEx packages to cost the same amount to ship.

Prove that an integer consisting of 3n ones is divisible by 3n (e.g. 111 is divisible by 3, 111,111,111 is divisible by 9, etc.)
mote1985 [20]

For proof of 3 divisibility, abc is a divisible by 3 if the sum of abc (a + b + c) is a multiple of 3.

<h3>Integers divisible by 3</h3>

The proof for divisibility of 3 implies that an integer is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is a multiple of 3.

<h3>Proof for the divisibility</h3>

111 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3  (the sum is multiple of 3 = 3 x 1)  (111/3 = 37)

222 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 (the sum is multiple of 3 = 3 x 2)  (222/3 = 74)

213 = 2 + 1 + 3 = 6 ( (the sum is multiple of 3 = 3 x 2)  (213/3 = 71)

27 = 2 + 7 = 9  (the sum is multiple of 3 = 3 x 3)  (27/3 = 9)

Thus, abc is a divisible by 3 if the sum of abc (a + b + c) is a multiple of 3.

Which is the correct answer?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The correct answer is y = 12x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a formula called y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

The y-intercept is 9 so y = mx + 9

The slope is 12/1 or just 12 so y = 12x + 9

May someone please help me out with this problem? May you also explain it?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

f(x) = \sqrt{x}

If the given function is vertically stretched by a scale factor of \frac{3}{2} Or 1.5,

Transformed function will be,

h(x) = \frac{3}{2}[f(x)]

h(x) = \frac{3}{2}(\sqrt{x})

Further function 'h' is shifted 1 units upwards,

g(x) = h(x) + 1

g(x) = \frac{3}{2}(\sqrt{x} )+1

Domain of the function → x ≥ 0 Or [0, ∞)

Range of the function → y ≥ 1 Or [1, ∞)

Transformations done → Parent function f(x) is vertically stretched by a scale factor of \frac{3}{2} then shifted 1 unit upward.
