Rentals rents a Cadillac Escalade for $99 for one week plus $0.11 per mile over 100 miles. Barbarino’s Rentals has the same vehicle for $75 per week and $0.15 per mile over 150 miles. If it is 432 miles to Key West, which company has the better deal? How many miles would Glenna drive before she would be spending the same amount at either company?"

Mr. Kotter's rentals :
99 + 0.11(x - 100)
for 432 miles...
99 + 0.11(432 - 100) =
99 + 0.11(332) =
99 + 36.52 =
135.52 <==

Barbarino's rentals : 
75 + 0.15(x - 150)
for 432 miles...
75 + 0.15(432 - 150) =
75 + 0.15(282) =
75 + 42.30 =
117.30 <==

so the better deal is at Barbarino's rentals <===

when will they cost the same amount....
99 + 0.11(x - 100) = 75 + 0.15(x - 150)
99 + 0.11x - 11 = 75 + 0.15x - 22.50
88 + 0.11x = 52.50 + 0.15x
88 - 52.50 = 0.15x - 0.11x
35.50 = 0.04x
35.50/0.04 = x
887.5 = x <=== they will cost the same at 887.5 miles

Mr. Nelson lost one of his students' test
amid [387]

Complete question :

Mr. Nelson lost one of his students' test papers. He knows that the other 4 students scored as follows: 60, 62, 56, 57. He also knows that the average score is 59.2. What is the score on the missing paper?

Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total number of students = 4 + 1 missing = 5

Score on the four avaliable papers = 60, 62, 56, 57

Average score of the 5 papers = 59.2

Score on missing paper :

Sum of each score / number of papers

Sum of each score = sum of available scores + missing score

Let missing score = m

(60 + 62 + 56 + 57 + m) = 235 + m

Recall:

Average = total sum / number of observations

Hence,

59.2 = (235 + m) / 5

59.2 × 5 = 235 + m

296 = 235 + m

m = 296 - 235

m = 61

Missing score = 61

What is 5.6 equalivent to
Sloan [31]
(this is for fractions!!!!!!!!!!!!)  28/5 or 5 3/5

i think u just make it into 5.6/1 multiply by 10 which gets 56/10 and wala 
but it's not simplified. 56 and 10 is divisible by 2 so u get 28/5 which is actually 5 3/5 (which is 5.6!!)

Which is equation of an ellipse of an ellipse with directrices at x=4 and foci at (2,0) (-2,0)
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

\frac{x^2}{8}  + \frac{y^2}{4}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrices in this case are vertical lines, so we have a horizontal ellipse. The equation for that ellipse is:

\frac{(x - h)^2}{a^2}  + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1

The center of the ellipse is (h,k), the diretrix is x = d and the foci are given by (h+c, k) and (h-c, k)

So, comparing the foci, we have that k = 0 and:

h + c = 2

h - c = -2

Adding these two equations, we have:

2h = 0

h = 0

c = 2

We can find the value of a^2 using the property:

c / a = a / d

Using c = 2 and d = 4, we have:

a^2 = c * d

a^2 = 8

Now, to find b^2, we use the property:

a^2 = b^2 + c^2

8 = b^2 + 4

b^2 = 4

So the equation of the ellipse is:

\frac{x^2}{8}  + \frac{y^2}{4}=1
