Step-by-step explanation:

the change in cost of 145-135.50 = 9.50 for an increase of students from 25 to 30. The ratio of change of cost to change of students = 9.50/5 = 1.9 and becomes the slope coefficient "m" in the formula y= mx + b. y = the total cost, mx becomes the variable cost and b becomes the fixed cost. To find b, use the data point given where the total cost = $135.50 when the students = 25, or 135.50 = 1.9*25 +b. Solving for b yields $ 88. Note that the other data point is where the total cost is $145 for students = 30. Using the new total cost equation shows that 30*1.9+88= 145

You are given the parametric equations x=2cos(θ),y=sin(2θ). (a) List all of the points (x,y) where the tangent line is horizonta

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The solutions listed from the smallest to the greatest are:

x: $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: -1 1 -1 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the tangent line at a point of the curve is:

$m = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{\frac{dx}{dt} }$

$m = -\frac{\cos 2\theta}{\sin \theta}$

The tangent line is horizontal when $m = 0$ . Then:

$\cos 2\theta = 0$

$2\theta = \cos^{-1}0$

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \cos^{-1} 0$

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+i\cdot \pi \right)$ , for all $i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}$

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + i\cdot \frac{\pi}{2}$ , for all $i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}$

The first four solutions are:

x: $\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: 1 -1 1 -1

The solutions listed from the smallest to the greatest are:

x: $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: -1 1 -1 1

Lance bought n notebooks that cost $0.75 each and p pens that cost $0.55 each. A 6.25% sales tax will be applied to the total co

zhuklara [117]

The total cost for n notebooks is 0.75n. Also, the total amount paid for the p pens is 0.55p. Adding them all up will give us an answer of, 0.75n + 0.55p.
Now, including the 6.25% tax, the total amount to be paid is, total amount = 1.0625(0.75n + 0.55p)

The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 units. Its width is 6.5 units. What is its length?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

If the width is 6.5 then double that to work out the two widths which would be 13. Take that from the perimeter so you're left with 21. Half 21 to work out one length which is 10.5. Length = 10.5

What is the volume of the rectangular prism if the length is 3/4 the width is 2/3 and the hight is 1/2

Leno4ka [110]

Multiply it all together 3/4 is 0.75 2/3 is 0.66 1/2 is 0.5 now do in your calculator 0.75+0.66+0.5 and becase everything is in fractions remember that you have to convert your decimal into a fraction your answer is 1 91/100
