A mobile company charges a fixed rate of x cents per minute for the first 120 minutes of talk time and another rate of y cents p

er minute for each additional minute of talk time. Ethan paid $26.80 and $32.40 for 175 mins and 210 minutes of talk time on two different occasions respectively. find the amount he has to pay if he uses 140 mins of talk time.

Answer:

$21.2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem given, we express them as algebra so that we can easily solve;

    the total charge on a call greater than 120min is given as;

   120x + y(n - 120) = total cost of call

where n is the number of minutes which is greater than 120;

  •   Ethan paid $26.80  for 175 mins

  n = 175min here;

      120x + y(175 - 120) = 26.80

       120x + 55y = 26.80 ----- (I)

  • $32.40 for 210 minutes

      n = 210min

       120x + y(210 - 120) = 32.4

       120x + 90y = 32.4 ----- (II)

Now let us solve both equations for y and x;

      120x + 55y = 26.80 ----- (I)

     120x + 90y = 32.4 ----- (II)

subtract the two equations;

             90y - 55y = 32.4 - 26.8

                  35y = 5.6

                       y = \frac{5.6}{35}  = 0.16cents

then x;

       120x = 26.8 - 55y from equation I

       120x = 26.8 - 55(0.16)

       120x = 18

            x = \frac{18}{120}  = 0.15cents

Find the cost of 140min of talk time;

  n =140min;

      =  120(0.15) + 0.16(140 - 120)

      = 18 + 0.16(20)

      = 18 + 3.2

      = $21.2

If an object is launched at an angle of 28° with an initial velocity of 133 ft./s from a height of 6 feet how many seconds will
Tema [17]

Answer:

Hence after  3.98 sec  i.e  4 sec Object will hit the ground  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height= 6 feet

Angle =28 degrees.

V=133 ft/sec

To Find:

Time in seconds after which it will hit the ground?

Solution:

<em>This problem is related to projectile motion for objec</em>t

First calculate the Range for object  and it is given by ,

R=v^2Sin(2Ф)/g

Here R= range  g= acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/sec^2

1m =3.2 feet

So 9.8 m, equals to 9.8 *3.2=31.36 ft

So g=31.36 ft/sec^2. and 2Ф=2(28)=56

R=133^2*Sin(56)/31.36

R=14664.84/31.36

R=467.62  fts

Now using Formula for time and range as

R=VxT

Vx is horizontal velocity

Vx=V*cosФ

Vx=133*cos(28)

Vx=117.43  ft/sec

So above equation becomes as ,

467.62=117.43*T

T=467.62/117.43

T=3.98 sec

T is approximately equals to 4 sec.

Which of the following is an even function? A.f(x) =(x-1)^2 b. F(x)=8x c.f(x) =x^2-x d.f(x)=7
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A.f(x) =(x-1)^2  is even because of that even exponent, 2.

b. F(x)=8x  is odd because x has the exponent 1.

c.f(x) =x^2-x   is neither even nor odd

d.f(x)=7    is even because the exponent is even:  7^0

The sum of two numbers is 27. One number is 3 more than the other. Write and solve a system of equations to find the two numbers
givi [52]
X + y = 27
x = y + 3

y + 3 + y = 27
2y + 3 = 27
2y = 27 - 3
2y = 24
y = 24/2
y = 12

x = y + 3
x = 12 + 3
x = 15

ur numbers are 12 and 15
