Answer:
b. They are at a speed of 30 mph when time begins.
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-axis represents time zero, when time begins. The curve intercepts the y-axis at y=30. Y-values on the graph represent speed in miles per hour (mph), so a y-value of 30 at the point on the y-axis represents ...
a speed of 30 mph when time begins
Ummm I think the first option would work. An by the way congrats when you graduate :)
1. For y, I think that refers to the first picture attached. As you can see, each side of the triangle have the same short line drawn across it. It means that they are equal in length. That means the triangle is equilateral, which means each interior angle is 60°. Thus,
60 = 5y + 10
5y = 60 - 10
5y = 50
y = 50/5 =<em> 10</em>
2. As you can see in the second picture attached, Angles B and C are equal. That also means that their respective opposite sides are equal. So,
8x - 4 = 5x + 11
8x - 5x = 11 + 4
3x = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Consequently,
BC = 4x - 2
BC = 4(5) - 2 = <em>18</em>
Call the number of days 'd' and the number of miles 'm'.
(Original, eh ?)
Then the equation for Gamma's price is
Price-G = 30.39d + 0.55m
and the equation for Delta's price is
Price-D = 50.31d + 0.43m .
We're going to set the prices equal, and find out
what the number of miles is:
Price-G = Price-D.
30.39d + 0.55m = 50.31d + 0.43m .
Before we go any farther, I'm going to assume that both cases would be
one-day rentals. My reasons: ==> the solution for the number of miles
depends on how many days each car was rented for; ==> even if both
cars are rented for the same number of days, the solution for the number
of miles depends on what that number of days is.
For 1-day rentals, d=1, and
30.39 + 0.55m = 50.31 + 0.43m .
Beautiful. Here we go.
Subtract 0.43m
from each side: 30.39 + 0.12m = 50.31
Subtract 30.39
from each side: 0.12m = 19.92
Divide each side by 0.12 : m = 166 .
There it is ! If a car is rented from Gamma for a day, and another car
is rented from Delta for a day, and both cars are driven 166 miles, then
the rental prices for both cars will be the same ... (namely $121.69)
