Answer: c(x) = $50*x + $24
Step-by-step explanation:
First, this situation can be modeled with a linear equation like:
c(x) = s*x + b
where c is the cost, s is the slope, x is the number of cubic yards of mulch bought, and b is the y-intercept ( a constant that no depends on the number x)
Then we know that:
The company charges $50 per cubic yard, so the slope is $50
A delivery charge of $24, this delivery charge does not depend on x, so this is the y-intercept.
Then our equation is:
c(x) = $50*x + $24
This is:
"The cost of buying x cubic yards of mulch"
Answer:
58 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
So I attached a diagram that illustrates the triangle that is formed. We know an angle, as well as the hypotenuse. We are looking for the height, or in other words the opposite side of the angle. There is a trigonometric function defined as: 
. Using this we can plug in known values and solve for the opposite side, which I'll simply represent as x.
Multiply both sides by 80
Calculate sin(46) using a calculator (make sure it's in degree mode)
Simplify
Round this to the nearest foot
The diagram in the question is a cylinder.
;The volume of a cylinder is given by;
Volume = πr²h
;Where π=3.14
r⇒radius of the base of the cylinder and
h ⇒ height of the cylinder.
∴Volume = 3.14×5²×3
=235.5 ft³
To the nearest cubic = 236 ft³
