The average annual costs for owning two different refrigerators for x years is given by the two functions: f(x) = 850 + 62x /x a
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

In the long run cost of the refrigerator g(x) will be cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average annual cost for owning two different refrigerators for x years is given by two functions

f(x) = \frac{850+62x}{x}

     = \frac{850}{x}+62

and g(x) = \frac{1004+51x}{x}

             = \frac{1004}{x}+51

If we equate these functions f(x) and g(x), value of x (time in years) will be the time by which the cost of the refrigerators will be equal.

At x = 1 year

f(1) = 850 + 62 = $912

g(1) = 1004 + 51 = $1055

So initially f(x) will be cheaper.

For f(x) = g(x)

\frac{850}{x}+62 = \frac{1004}{x}+51

\frac{1004}{x}-\frac{850}{x}=1004-850

\frac{154}{x}=11

x = \frac{154}{11}=14

Now f(15) = 56.67 + 62 = $118.67

and g(x) = 66.93 + 51 = $117.93

So g(x) will be cheaper than f(x) after 14 years.

This tells below 14 years f(x) will be less g(x) but after 14 years cost g(x) will be cheaper than f(x).

Below is a drawing of a wall that is to be covered with either wallpaper or paint. The wall is 8 ft. high and
Snowcat [4.5K]

84 sq. ft of the wall has to be covered with paint or wallpaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the area of wallpaper to be covered by calculating the area of the wall and subtracting the areas of the window, mirror and fireplace from it. All are rectangular in shape with are given by A = length × width

Area of the wall = 8 × 16 = 128 ft²

Area of the window = 18/12 × 14 = 1.5 × 14 = 21 ft² (since 1 ft = 12 in)

Area of the fireplace = 5 × 3 = 15 ft²

Area of the mirror = 4 × 2 = 8 ft²

  • Step 2: Calculate the area to be painted or covered with wallpaper

Area of the wall to be covered with paint or wallpaper = 128 - (21 + 15 + 8)

                              = 128 - 44

                              = 84 ft²
