Answer:

$x\approx 267\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Modeling

Some events can be modeled as linear functions. If we are in a situation where a linear model is suitable, then we need two sample points to make the model and predict unknown behaviors.

The linear function can be expressed in the slope-intercept format:

$f(x)=mx+b$

For the problem at hand, we must pick the adequate variables according to the data provided.

The question states the charge for renting a car is a function of the mileage. It also provides two points from which we can build our model. Let's set the following variables:

c = the charge for renting a car in dollars

x = the distance driven by the businessman in miles

Representing the ordered pair as (x,c), we have the points: (150,79) and (65,63.70). Our model will be expressed as:

$c = mx+b$

We must find the values of m and b with the data provided. Substituting the first point:

$79 = 150m+b$

Substituting the second point:

$63.70 = 65m+b$

Both equations form the following system:

$\left\{\begin{matrix}150m+b=79\\ 65m+b=63.70 \end{matrix}\right.$

Subtracting both equations:

$150m-65m=79-63.70$

Note the variable b was canceled out in the operation, leaving only the variable m to solve. Joining like terms:

$85m=15.3$

Solving:

$m=15.3/85=0.18$

From the first equation

$79 = 150m+b$

Solving for b:

$b=79-150m=79-150(0.18) = 52.$

The model for the problem is:

$c=0.18x+52$

Now we need to calculate how many miles (x) could be driven for c=$100. From the equation above, substitute c=100

$100=0.18x+52$

Solve for x:

$0.18x+52=100$

$0.18x=100-52=48$

$x=48/0.18=266.67$

Rounding to the closest integer:

$\boxed{x\approx 267\ miles}$

A gardener makes a new circular flower bed. The bed is teen feet in diameter. Calculate the circumference and the area of the ci

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

I. Circumference of circular flower bed = 31.42 ft.

II. Area of circular flower bed = 78.55 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Diameter = 10 ft

Radius = diameter/2

Radius = 10/2

Radius, r = 5 ft

I. To find the circumference of the circular flower bed;

Circumference of circle = 2πr

Substituting into the formula, we have

Circumference of circular flower bed = 2*3.142*5

Circumference of circular flower bed = 31.42 ft

II. To find the area;

Area of circle = πr²

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Area of circular flower bed = 3.142*5²

Area of circular flower bed = 3.142*25

Area of circular flower bed = 78.55 ft²

5. The recursive algorithm given below can be used to compute gcd(a, b) where a and b are non-negative integer, not both zero.

s2008m [1.1K]

Implementating the given algorithm in python 3, the greatest common divisors of (124 and 244) and (4424 and 2111) are 4 and 1 respectively.

The program implementation is given below and the output of the sample run is attached.

def gcd(a, b):

#initialize a function named gcd which takes in two parameters

if a>b:

#checks if a is greater than b

return gcd (b, a)

#if true interchange the Parameters and Recall the function

elif a == 0:

return b

elif a == 1:

return 1

elif((a%2 == 0)and(b%2==0)):

#even numbers leave no remainder when divided by 2, checks if a and b are even

return 2 * gcd(a/2, b/2)

elif((a%2 !=0) and (b%2==0)):

#checks if a is odd and B is even

return gcd(a, b/2)

else :

return gcd(a, b-a)

#since it's a recursive function, it recalls the function with new parameters until a certain condition is satisfied

print(gcd(124, 244))

print()

#leaves a space after the first output

print(gcd(4424, 2111))

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

(x*3)+4=22

Subtracting 4 from both sides:

(x*3)=18

Dividing both sides by 3:

x=6

Answer:

#5: d=22, #6: $m=4\frac1{10}$ , #7: $2\frac3{11}=z$

Step-by-step explanation:

#5:

$2\cdot (4\cdot5-3^2)=2\cdot (4\cdot5-3\cdot3)=2\cdot (20-9)=2\cdot11=22$

#6:

$5\frac25-1\frac3{10}=5\frac4{10}-1\frac3{10}=4\frac1{10}$

#7:

$\frac{40-15}{5+6}=\frac{25}{11}=2\frac3{11}$
