Make two equations from the information. Then graph them and see where they intersect. The answer is 62 miles. Plug 62 back into both equations and they should both be the same number.

Answer:

300 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prestige car rentals charges $44 per day plus 6 cents per mile

Let the distance will be covered by both = x miles

equation will be = 44+$0.06x ---(1)

Gateway Auto charges $35 per day plus 9 cents per mile.

35 + $0.09x-------- (2)

The number of miles will both companies charge the same price

44 + 0.06x = 35 + 0.09x

44 = 35 + 0.09x - 0.06x

44 = 35 + 0.03x

44 - 35 = 0.03x

9 = 0.03x

x = \frac{9}{0.03}

x = 300 miles

on 300 miles both companies charges the same price.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

(a) n(t) = P(0)*e^(0.010939940t)

(b) 12,674,681 (nearest unit)

(c) 14 years (nearest year)

Step-by-step explanation:

rate = 1.1% / year = 1.011

(a)

P(0) = 12,000,000  = population in 2010

In compound interest format, after t years

P(t) = P(0)* (1.011)^t

Given format = P(0)* e^(rt)

therefore

e^(rt) = 1.011^t       use law of exponents

(e^r)^t = 1.011^t

e^r = 1.011

r = log_e(1.011) = 0.010939940   (to 9 decimal places)

required formula is

n(t) = P(0)*e^(0.010939940t)

(b)

in 2015,

P(0)=12000000, n = 5 (years after 2010)

n(5) = 12000000*e^( 0.010939940 * 5 ) = 12,674,680.6 = 12,674,681 (nearest unit)

(c)

to reach 14 million, we equate

n(t) = 14,000,000

12,000,000 *e^(0.010939940*t) = 14,000,000

e^(0.010939940*t) = 14000000/12000000 = 7/6

take log on both sides

0.010939940*t = log(7/6)

t = log(7/6) / 0.010939940 = 14.091 years = 14 years to the nearest year.

See graph attached.  Y-axis is in millions, x-axis is in years.

Use the x-intercept method to find all real solutions of the equation -9^3-72^2-96x+36=3x^3+x^2-3x+8
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

 x ≈ 0.290640965127

Step-by-step explanation:

y subtracting the right side of the equation, we get a function that is zero at a real solution for x. The only x-intercept is at approximately 0.290640965127.

___

The graph shows the x-intercept to be 0.2906. The value above was obtained by Newton's method iteration. The roots of this cubic will all be irrational.
