11B. Long Beach Towing Company charges $40 plus $5 per mile to

Mathematics
1 answer:
gavmur [86]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The charges will be the same after 10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Long Beach Towing Company:

Charges $40 plus $5 per mile. So after x miles, the charge will be of:

L(x) = 40 + 5x

Five-Star Towing Company:

Chargers of $70 plus $2 per mile. So after x miles, the charge will be of:

F(x) = 70 + 2x

After how many miles the charges for the two companied will be the same?

This is x for which:

L(x) = F(x)

So

40 + 5x = 70 + 2x

5x - 2x = 70 - 40

3x = 30

x = \frac{30}{3}

x = 10

The charges will be the same after 10 miles.

A regular octagon rotates 360° about its center. How many times does the image of the octagon coincide with the preimage during
diamong [38]
The number of times the image of the octagon will coincide with the preimage during rotation is determined by:
N = R/C

where
N is the number of times the preimage coincided with the rotated image during rotation
R is the angle of rotation
C is the central angle of the regular polygon

For an octagon, the central angle is
C = 360/8 = 45

So,
N = 360 / 45 = 8

Therefore, the rotated image of the octagon will coincide with the preimage 8 times during rotation.

A ball is thrown straight up from the top of a building that is 400 ft high with an initial velocity of 64 ft/s. The height of t
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The time(s) the ball is higher than the building: Interval (0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

s(t)=-16t^2+64t+400

Determine the time(s) the ball is higher than the building:

s(t)>400

-16t^2+64t+400>400

Subtracting 400 both sides on the inequality:

-16t^2+64t+400-400>400-400

-16t^2+64t>0

Multiplying the inequality by -1:

(-1)(-16t^2+64t>0)

16t^2-64t<0

Fatorizing: Comon factor 16t:

16t(16t^2/16t-64t/16t)<0

16t(t-4)<0

t is greater than zero:

t>0→t-4<0→t-4+4<0+4→t<4

Then t>0 ant t<4:

Solution = (0, Infinite) ∩ (-Infinite, 4)

Solution = (0,4)

                   | Red    |Green  | Brown   Total
<span>Smile         |0.100  | .300    | .10           0.50</span>
<span>No smile   |0.200  | .150    | .15            0.50
Total           0.30       0.45      0.25         1.00

The probability of choosing red candy is 0.10
The probability of choosing no smile candy is 0.50

The probability of choosing red or no smile = 0.10 + 0.50 = 0.60

I did not use 0.30 as the probability of red because it included the no smile candy. It should only be red candy that has a smile.</span>

Layla lives in Colorado and works as a teacher earning $55,000 a year. Her brother A.J. lives in Nevada and works as a teacher,
likoan [24]

Answer:

<u>Because Nevada is one of the seven states where residents no pay income tax, no matter how much you make. This decision is compensated with a higher-than-average sales tax.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's check the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Layla annual earnings = US$ 55,000

A.J. annual earnings = US$ 55,000

Income tax rate paid by Layla = 4.63%

Income tax rate paid by A.J. = 0%

2. Colorado uses these taxes to pay for public services such as school, police, and sanitation. A.J. pays 0 percent of his yearly income to the state of Nevada in income taxes. Yet his town has schools, police, and sanitation services. Why does this happen?

Because Nevada is one of the seven states where residents no pay income tax, no matter how much you make. This decision is compensated with a higher-than-average sales tax.
