Answer:

The price will be the same for both companies at 60 mugs

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the rate of change
  • b is the fixed amount

Assume that the number of mugs is x and the total cost of them is $y

∵ The Cup Company will make them for $4 each plus a $30

   set-up charge

∴ The cost per mug = $4

∴ m = 4

∴ The fixed amount = $30

∴ b = 30

∵ x is the number of mugs

∵ y is the cost of them

→ Substitute the values of m and b in the form of the equation

∴ y = 4x + 30 ⇒ (1)

∵  Mugs Are Us will make them for $4.50 each with no set-up charge

∴ The cost per mug = $4.50

∴ m = 4.5

∴ The fixed amount = 0

∴ b = 0

∵ x is the number of mugs

∵ y is the cost of them

→ Substitute the values of m and b in the form of the equation

∴ y = 4.5x + 0

∴ y= 4.5x ⇒ (2)

∵ The price be the same for both companies

→ Equate the right sides of (1) and (2)

∴ 4.5x = 4x + 30

→ Subtract 4x from both sides

∵ 4.5x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 30

∴ 0.5x = 30

→ Divide both sides by 0.5

∴ x = 60

∴ The price will be the same for both companies at 60 mugs

Y = -√(x + 3) + 4
y = -√(x + 3)² + 4
y = -(x + 3) + 4
y = -x - 3 + 4
y = -x + 4
y = x - 4

The string of a kite is 100 meters long and it makes an angle of 60° with the ground. What is the height of the kite?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

  50√3 ≈ 86.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle with the height of the kite being the leg opposite the 60° angle. The hypotenuse has the given length of 100 m.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relation between angles and the sides of interest here is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(60°) = (kite height)/(100 m)

  kite height = (100 m)·sin(60°) = (100 m)(√3)/2

  kite height = 50√3 m ≈ 86.6 m
