The cost of renting a car is 35/we plus $0.25/mi traveled during that week. An equation to represent the cost would be y= 35+0.2

5x, where x is the number of miles traveled. Suppose you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental. What would be the maximum number of miles you could travel?

ANSWER

260 miles

EXPLANATION

The equation that models the cost is

$y = 35 + 0.25x$

If you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental, then we can equation the cost function to

$100 to determine the maximum number of miles you could travel.

$35 + 0.25x = 100$

$0.25x = 100 - 35$

$0.25x = 65$

$x = \frac{65}{0.25}$

$x = 260mi$

Therefore the maximum number of miles you can travel is 260 miles

Given the event "a die lands with a 6 on top", which of the following is the complement of this event? Choose the correct ans

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The die lands with a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 on top ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

- Complementary events are two outcomes of an event that are the

only two possible outcomes

- The Complement Rule states that the sum of the probabilities of

an event and its complement must equal 1

- P(A) + P(A') = 1

- Lets solve the problem

- The event A is:

" a die lands with a 6 on top "

∴ P(A) = $\frac{1}{6}$

∵ P(A) + P(A') = 1

∴ $\frac{1}{6}$ + P(A') = 1

- Subtract $\frac{1}{6}$ from both sides

∴ P(A') = $\frac{5}{6}$

∵ The die has six numbers from 1 to 6

∴ The other numbers than 6 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5

∴ The complement of event A is:

" A die lands with 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 or 5 "

* The complement of the event is:

The die lands with a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 on top

Nathaniel builds birds and birdhouses using Lego blocks. Let B represent the number of birds and H represent the number of birdh

N76 [4]

Answer:

At-most 3 birdhouses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B represent the number of birds and H represent the number of birdhouses that Nathaniel can build with his Lego blocks.

We have been given that Nathaniel builds birds and birdhouses using Lego blocks. The inequality $43B+215H\leq3000$ represents the number of birds and birdhouses Nathaniel could build.

To find the number of birdhouses that Nathaniel can build after making 50 birds, we will substitute B=50 in our given inequality and then solve for H.

$43*50+215H\leq3000$

$2150+215H\leq3000$

Let us subtract 2150 from both sides of our inequality.

$2150-2150+215H\leq3000-2150$

$215H\leq850$

Let us divide both both sides of our inequality by 215.

$\frac{215H}{215}\leq\frac{850}{215}$

$H\leq3.953488$

As Nathaniel can make build less than or equal to 3.953488 and the biggest integer less than or equal to 3.953 is 3, therefore, Nathaniel can build at-most 3 birdhouses with remaining Lego blocks.

Complete the table for the given rule. Rule: y=X/4(fraction)

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

$\large\huge\boxed{\begin{array}{c|c}x&y\\\\4&1\\\\2&\frac{1}{2}\\\\9&\frac{9}{2}\end{array}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=\dfrac{x}{4}$

Put the values of x from the table to the equation:

$x=4\to y=\dfrac{4}{4}=1\\\\x=2\to y=\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{2:2}{4:2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\x=9\to y=\dfrac{9}{4}$

From the comment.

Convert the equation:

$y=\dfrac{x}{4}$ <em>multiply both sides by 4</em>

$4y=x\to x=4y$

Put the values of y from the table to the equation:

$y=4\to x=(4)(4)=16\\\\y=2\to x=(4)(2)=8\\\\y=9\to x=(4)(9)=36$

$\large\huge\boxed{\begin{array}{c|c}x&y\\\\16&4\\\\8&2\\\\36&9\end{array}}$

How many solutions exist for the given equation? 3(x – 2) = 22 – x zero one two infinitely many

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(x - 2) = 22 - x ← distribute parenthesis on left side

3x - 6 = 22 - x ( add x to both sides )

4x - 6 = 22 ( add 6 to both sides )

4x = 28 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 7

In triangle $ABC$, let angle bisectors $BD$ and $CE$ intersect at $I$. The line through $I$ parallel to $BC$ intersects $AB$ and

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

If you work through a series of obscure calculations involving area and the radius of the incircle, they boil down to a simple fact:

... For MN║BC, perimeter ΔAMN = perimeter ΔABC - BC = AB+AC

.. = 17+24 = 41

_____

Wow! Thank you for an interesting question with a not-so-obvious answer.

_____

<em>A little more detail</em>

The point I that you have defined is the incenter—the center of an inscribed circle in the triangle. Its radius is the distance from I to any side, such as BC, for example.

If we use "Δ" to represent the area of the triangle and "s" to represent the semi-perimeter, (AB+BC+AC)/2, then the incircle has radius Δ/s. The area Δ can be computed from Heron's formula by ...

... Δ = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) . . . . where a, b, c are the side lengths

For this triangle, the area is Δ = √38480 ≈ 196.1632 units². That turns out to be irrelevant.

The altitude to BC will be 2Δ/(BC), so the altitude of ΔAMN = (2Δ/(BC) -Δ/s). Dividing this by the altitude to BC gives the ratio of the perimeter of ΔAMN to the perimeter of ΔABC, which is 2s.

Putting these ratios and perimeters together, we get ...

... perimeter ΔAMN = (2Δ/(BC) -Δ/s)/(2Δ/(BC)) × 2s

... = (2/(BC) -1/s) × BC × s = 2s -BC

... perimeter ΔAMN = AB +AC
