Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
After 59 months the new dryer will pay for itself.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the new clothes dryer takes 'x' months to pay for itself.
Then the operating cost of the new dryer will be = 15x
Since cost of the new dryer = $590
So, total cost of the dryer in x months = $(590 + 15x)
Now we know old dryer's operating cost is = $25 per month
So, operating cost for x months = 25x
By the time when new dryer's total cost becomes equal to the old dryer's operational cost, the new dryer will pay for itself.
Now we can get the value of x by equating the old dryer's operational cost and the new dryer's total cost.
25x = 590 + 15x
25x - 15x = 590
10x = 590
x = 
x = '59 months'
Answer
Choice D
Company 2 is greater in avg rate of change by $750
=======================================
Explanation:
Average rate of change is the same as slope through two points. The two points are the endpoints of the interval.
The x values we'll use is x = 0 and x = 12 since it constitutes the first 12 years (12-0 = 12)
For company 1, if x = 0 and x = 12, then y = 12000 and y = 30000 respectively. The two points (0,12000) and (12,30000) are on the graph for company 1
The slope of the line through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (30000-12000)/(12-0)
m = 18000/12
m = 1500
Over the first twelve years, the average rate of change for company 1 is 1500
For company 2, the points (0,15000) and (12,42000) are on the graph
The slope of the line through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (42000-15000)/(12-0)
m = (27000)/(12)
m = 2250
Over the first twelve years, the average rate of change for company 2 is 2250
Now find the difference in the slopes
2250-1500 = 750
Company 2's rate of change is larger by $750
So that's why the answer is choice D. Over this timespan, company 2 is growing faster on average compared to company 1
