Joe's canoe charges an initial fee of $20 plus $4 an hour. Callie's canoe charges a flat rate of $14 an hour find the number of

hours for which the total amount that both places charge would be the same

Initial fee charged by Joe's canoe = $20
Hourly charge of Joe's canoe = $4
Hourly charge of Callie's canoe = $14
No initial fee is taken by Callie's canoe.
Let us assume the number of hours after which both places charges will be the same = x hours
Then
20 + 4x = 14x
20 = 14x - 4x
20 = 10x
x = 20/10
= 2
So after 2 hours the charges taken by both of them will be the same. I hope the procedure is easy and clear enough for you to understand.

J=$20+$4x
C=$14x
$20+$4x=$14x
$10x=$20
x=2 hours

Nataliya [291]

Total distance 5 km; at 5km / 0.65 h =

Second part distance: x; at 6 km/h, during t2

First part distance: 5 - x; at 8.75 km/h, during t1

V = d/t ⇒ t = d/V

t2 = x/6
t1=[5-x]/8.75

t2 + t1 = 0.65

x/6 + [5-x]/8.75 = 0.65

x/6 + 5/8.75 - x/8.75 = 13/20

x/6 - x/8.75 = 13/20 - 5/8.75

x/6 - 4x/35 =13/20 - 20/35

35x - 24x = (35*6)(35*13 - 20*20)/(20*35)

11 x = 16.5
x = 16.5/11 = 1.5 km

Which of the equations below could be the equation of this parabola?

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

$y=-4x^2$ is the equation of this parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the equation

$y=-4x^2$

$\mathrm{Domain\:of\:}\:-4x^2\::\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:-\infty \:$

$\mathrm{Range\:of\:}-4x^2:\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:f\left(x\right)\le \:0\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:(-\infty \:,\:0]\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Axis\:interception\:points\:of}\:-4x^2:\quad \mathrm{X\:Intercepts}:\:\left(0,\:0\right),\:\mathrm{Y\:Intercepts}:\:\left(0,\:0\right)$

As

$\mathrm{The\:vertex\:of\:an\:up-down\:facing\:parabola\:of\:the\:form}\:y=a\left(x-m\right)\left(x-n\right)$

$\mathrm{is\:the\:average\:of\:the\:zeros}\:x_v=\frac{m+n}{2}$

$y=-4x^2$

$\mathrm{The\:parabola\:params\:are:}$

$a=-4,\:m=0,\:n=0$

$x_v=\frac{m+n}{2}$

$x_v=\frac{0+0}{2}$

$x_v=0$

$\mathrm{Plug\:in}\:\:x_v=0\:\mathrm{to\:find\:the}\:y_v\:\mathrm{value}$

$y_v=-4\cdot \:0^2$

$y_v=0$

Therefore, the parabola vertex is

$\left(0,\:0\right)$

$\mathrm{If}\:a$

$\mathrm{If}\:a>0,\:\mathrm{then\:the\:vertex\:is\:a\:minimum\:value}$

$a=-4$

$\mathrm{Maximum}\space\left(0,\:0\right)$

so,

$\mathrm{Vertex\:of}\:-4x^2:\quad \mathrm{Maximum}\space\left(0,\:0\right)$

Therefore, $y=-4x^2$ is the equation of this parabola. The graph is also attached.

Helppppppppppppppppppp please

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

$\sqrt[]{\frac{x+8}{4}}-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(x)=4(x+3)^2-8$

First rewrite $g(x)$ as y

$y=4(x+3)^2-8$

Now swap y and x

$x=4(y+3)^2-8$

Add 8 on both sides.

$x+8=4(y+3)^2-8+8$

$x+8=4(y+3)^2$

Divide by 4.

$\frac{x+8}{4} =\frac{4(y+3)^2}{4}$

$\frac{x+8}{4}=(y+3)^2$

Extract the square root on both sides.

$\sqrt[]{\frac{x+8}{4}}=\sqrt[]{(y+3)^2}$

$\sqrt[]{\frac{x+8}{4}}=y+3$

Subtract 3 on both sides.

$\sqrt[]{\frac{x+8}{4}}-3=y+3-3$

$\sqrt[]{\frac{x+8}{4}}-3=y$
