Aaron participates in a walkathon for charity. He has a sponsor who has pledged a base donation of $2 for the first mile he walk
s and then a certain dollar amount for each additional mile he walks. Based on this pledge, if Aaron walks 8 miles, the sponsor will donate a total of $23 to the charity.
total amount donated when aaron walks n miles = $2 + $3(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Aaron participates in a walkathon for charity. He has a sponsor who has pledged a base donation of $2 for the first mile he walks and then a certain dollar amount for each additional mile he walks. Based on this pledge, if Aaron walks 8 miles, the sponsor will donate a total of $23 to the charity.
Write a formula that can be used to determine the amount of money this sponsor donates when Aaron walks n miles.
total amount sponsor pays = base donations + (additional miles walked after first mile x amount paid)
when Aaron walks 8 miles
additional miles = 8 - 1 = 7
23 = 2 + 7x
23 - 2 = 7x
x = 3
additional amount paid is $3
total amount donated when aaron walks n miles = $2 + $3(n-1)
Because a tangent to a circle is a straight line which touches the circle at only one point. This point is called the point of tangency. The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.
