If a 7-minute call costs $4.25 and a 12-minute call costs $5.50, find each rate.​
a.$ 1.50 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.50 per minute thereafter
b.$3.20 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.55 per minute thereafter
c.$0.75 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.25 per minute thereafter
d.$2.40 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.75 per minute thereafter

Answer:

  c.  $0.75 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.25 per minute thereafter

Step-by-step explanation:

The last 5 minutes of the 12-minute call cost ...

  $5.50 -4.25 = $1.25

so the per-minute rate at that time is ...

  $1.25/(5 min) = $0.25/min . . . . . . . . matches choice C only

__

You know the answer at this point, but if you want to check the rate for the first 5 minutes, you can subtract 2 minutes from the 7-minute call to find that ...

  The first 5 minutes cost $4.25 - 2·0.25 = $3.75, so are charged at ...

     $3.75/(5 min) = $0.75/min . . . . . . . matches choice C

A polygon has the vertices P(-2,6), Q(4,6), R(4,1) and S(-2,1). What is the length of side RS?
inessss [21]
It is 6 units because you find the absolute value of the two different coordinates, in this case it is 4 and -2. Since they belong in different quadrants (one x or y value is positive and the other is negative) you add them. If they are both in the same quadrant, you subtract them.

A population of bacteria begins with 1500 bacteria and grows to 4500 in one hour.
dezoksy [38]

The function that represents the growth of this culture of bacteria as a function of time is; P = 1500e^(1.0986t)

<h3>How to calculate Exponential Growth?</h3>

The formula for exponential growth is;

P = P₀e^(rt)

where;

P = current population at time t

P₀ = starting population

r = rate of exponential growth/decay

t = time after start

Thus, from our question we have;

4500 = 1500 * e^(r * 1)

4500/1500 = e^r

e^r = 3

In 3 = r

r = 1.0986

Thus, the function that represents the growth of this culture of bacteria as a function of time is;

P = 1500e^(1.0986t)

For the culture to double, then;

P/P₀ = 2. Thus;

e^(1.0986t) = 2

In 2 = 1.0986t

t = 0.6931/1.0986

t = 0.631 hours
