Answer: C = 2 + 0.25 D

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The cost of the cab ride (C), must be equal to the fixed fee (2) plus the product of the charge per mile (x) and the number of miles traveled (D)

C= 2 + Dx

Since the cost for a 50 mile ride is $14.50:

14.50 =2 + 50x

Solving for x:

14.50-2 = 50x

12.50 =50x

12.50/50 = x

0.25 = x

The cab company charges $0.25 per mile.

Back with the original equation:

C = 2 + 0.25 D

Use quadratic regression to find
vovangra [49]

Answer:

y = 6x² -13x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

(1,-12) (2,-7) (5,80)

y = ax² + bx + c

-12 = a*1² + b*1 + c = a+b+c    (1)

-7 = 4a + 2b + c    (2)

80 = 25a + 5b + c   (3)

(2)-(1): 3a + b = 5    (4)

(3)-(2): 21a + 3b = 87   (5)

(4)*3:     9a + 3b = 15    (6)

(5)-(6):  12a = 72      a = 6

(4)                             b = -13

(2)                             c = -5

Which equation represents a circle with a center at (–3, –5) and a radius of 6 units?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of the circle is:

(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

(h, k)=(-3,-5)  are the coordinates of the center of the circle.

r=6  is the radius

The equation of the circle is:

(x+3)²+(y+5)² = 36
