Answer:

y= 48 + 0.1x

x= miles driven

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We need to calculate the fixed and variable cost (per mile) of renting a car. To do that, we will use the high-low method:</u>

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (65 - 58) / (170 - 100)

Variable cost per unit= $0.1 per mile

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 65 - (0.1*170)

Fixed costs= $48

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 58 - (0.1*100)

Fixed costs= $48

y= 48 + 0.1x

x= miles driven

Write 615000 in scientific notation​
lianna [129]

Answer:

6.15 × 10⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

When converting a number of scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point until the number is greater than 1 and less than 10, then multiply this by 10 to the power of the number of places we moved the decimal point (negative when moving it forwards, positive when moving it backwards).

Therefore, 615000 = 6.15 × 10⁵

Rewrite the function y= x^2 + 14x + 4 in vertex form
Step2247 [10]
Vertex form is basically commplete the square
y=a(x-h)^2+k


y=x^2+14x+4
take 1/2 of 14 and square it, (7^2=49)
add that and its negative to right side
y=x^2+14x+49-49+4
factor perfect squaer
y=(x+7)^2-49+4
y=(x+7)^2-45

answer is A

2p+6a=$14
3p+9a=$21

3p+9a=21
Subtract 9a
3p=21-9a
divide all by 3
p=7-3a
plug it into start equations

2p+6a=14
2(7-3a)+6a=14
14-6a....+6a=14

this zeroes out...
