Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 1 ; as a decimal

1/2 = skittles

1/4 = M&Ms

Skittles +M&Ms = 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

Remainder = 1 - \frac{3}{4}

Remainder = \frac{1}{4}

Sour patch = \frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{16}

As a percentage , multiply 1/16 by 100 and it becomes 6.25%

Piper is deciding between two truck rental companies. Company A charges an initial fee of $35 for the rental plus $3 per mile dr
vazorg [7]

Answer:

An equation for each situation, in terms of x

A = 35 + 3x

B = 80 + 2x

The interval of miles driven x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B is 0 to 44.9 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the amount Company A would charge if Piper drives x miles

Let B represent the amount Company B would charge if Piper drives x miles.

Company A charges an initial fee of $35 for the rental plus $3 per mile driven.

A= $35 + $3 × x

A = 35 + 3x

Company B charges an initial fee of $80 for the rental plus $2 per mile driven.

B = $80 + $2 × x

B = 80 + 2x

The interval of miles driven x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B.

= A < B

35 + 3x < 80 + 2x

3x - 2x < 80 - 35

x < 45 miles

That is: any number of miles driven below 45 miles makes Company A cheaper than Company B

The interval of miles driven x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B is 0 to 44.9 miles.

Which of the following is the minimum value of the equation y = 3x^2 − 4x − 2?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

-3 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic

... y = ax² +bx +c

has its extreme value at

... x = -b/(2a)

Since a = 3 is positive, we know the parabola opens upward and the extreme value is a minimum. (We also know that from the problem statement asking us to find the minimum value.) The value of x at the minimum is -(-4)/(2·3) = 2/3.

To find the minimum value, we need to evaluate the function for x=2/3.

The most straightforward way to do this is to substitue 2/3 for x.

... y = 3(2/3)² -4(2/3) -2 = 3(4/9) -8/3 -2

... y = (4 -8 -6)/3 = -10/3

... y = -3 1/3

_____

<em>Confirmation</em>

You can also use a graphing calculator to show you the minimum.
