Solution using an equation:

cost = fixed fee + fee per mile

cost = $24
fixed fee = $6
fee per mile = 3x for x miles

24 = 6 + 3x

6 + 3x = 24

3x = 18

x = 6

Answer: Mike traveled 6 miles.

Solution without equation:

He spent $24.

$6 is for the initial fee, so he spent $24 - $6 = $18 on the miles.

$18/($3/mile) = 6 miles

Answer: Mike traveled 6 miles.

Hello! To solve this problem, we can write and solve an equation. Set it up like this:

6 + 3m = 24

This is because 6 is the one-time fixed price and you pay $3 per mile. Subtract 6 from both sides in order to get 3m = 18. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the “m”. 18/3 is 6. There. m = 6. Mike traveled 6 miles by taxi.

Write a quadratic relation in the form y = ax2 + bx + c with roots 4 and - 3 and
pochemuha

Answer:

y =  2*x^2 - 2*x - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a quadratic function with roots a and b, we can write the equation for that function as:

y = f(x) = A*(x - a)*(x - b)

Where A is the leading coefficient.

In this case, we know that the roots are: 4 and -3

Then the function will be something like:

f(x) = A*(x - 4)*(x - (-3) )

f(x) = A*(x - 4)*(x + 3)

Now we need to determine the value of A.

We also know that the graph of the function passes through the point (3, -12)

This means that:

f(3) = -12

Then:

-12 = A*(3 - 4)*(3 + 3)

-12 = A*(-1)*(6)

-12 = A*(-6)

-12/-6 = A

2 = A

Then the equation is:

y = f(x) = 2*(x - 4)*(x + 3)

Now we need to write this in standard form, so we just need to expand the equation:

y = f(x) = 2*(x^2 + x*3 - x*4 - 4*3)

y = f(x) = 2*(x^2 - x - 12)

y = f(x) = 2*x^2 - 2*x - 24

Then the relation is:

y =  2*x^2 - 2*x - 24

The function f(x) = x is translated such that the function describing the translated graph is g(x) = (x + 5)' + 2. Where
Tresset [83]

Answer:

  (-5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

  g(x) = f(x -h) +k

is a translation of f(x) h units to the right and k units upward. Here, we seem to have h=-5 and k=2. That means the point (0, 0) has been translated 5 units to the left (to -5) and 2 units upward (to 2).

The translated location of (0, 0) is (-5, 2).

_____

We assume we're to ignore the apostrophe (') in the equation for g(x).

what is the equation, in slope-intercept from, of the line that is perpendicular to the line y - 4 = -2/3 (x -6 ) and passes thr
Ne4ueva [31]

Turn y - 4 = -2/3(x - 6) into a linear equation.

y - 4 = -2/3(x - 6)

y - 4 = -2/3x + 4

 +4                +4

y = -2/3x + 8

The equation that is perpendicular to y = -2/3x + 8 is y = 3x + 4 as shown in the image below using a graph.
