Suppose that a car rental agency charges a fixed amount per day plus an amount per mile for renting a car. Heidi rented a car on

e day and paid $52 for 180 miles. On another day she rented a car from the same agency and paid $77.50 for 350 miles. Find the linear function f(x) (where x is in miles and f(x) is in dollars) that the agency could use to determine its daily rental charges.
f(x) =

Answer:

f(x) = 0.15x +25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points:

(x, y) = (180, 52) or (350, 77.50)

The slope is given by ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (77.50 -52)/(350 -180) = 25.50/170 = 0.15

The y-intercept is given by ...

b = y -mx

b = 52 -0.15×180 = 25

Then the equation for the linear function is ...

f(x) = mx +b

f(x) = 0.15x +25

What is the exact circumference of the circle?

fredd [130]

Data:

Formula: diameter = 2*radius

Formula: (<span>Circle length)
</span> $C = 2* \pi *r$
<span>
Solving: </span><span>Using the data
</span>diameter = 2*radius
20 = 2*r
2r = 20
$r = \frac{20}{2}$
$\boxed{r = 10\:ft}$

<span>Now, replace in the circumference length formula
</span> $C = 2 \pi *r$
$C = 2 \pi *10$
$\boxed{\boxed{C = 20 \pi \:ft}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer:
<span>The exact circumference of the circle is </span> $20 \pi \:ft$

Use Euler's method with step size 0.2 to estimate y(1), where y(x) is the solution of the initial-value problem y' = x2y − 1 2 y

irina [24]

Answer:

Therefore the value of y(1)= 0.9152.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Euler's method

y(x+h)≈ y(x) + hy'(x) ....(1)

Given that y(0) =3 and step size (h) = 0.2.

$y'(x)= x^2y(x)-\frac12y^2(x)$

Putting the value of y'(x) in equation (1)

$y(x+h)\approx y(x) +h(x^2y(x)-\frac12y^2(x))$

Substituting x =0 and h= 0.2

$y(0+0.2)\approx y(0)+0.2[0\times y(0)-\frac12 (y(0))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.2)\approx 3+0.2[-\frac12 \times3]$ [∵ y(0) =3 ]

$\Rightarrow y(0.2)\approx 2.7$

Substituting x =0.2 and h= 0.2

$y(0.2+0.2)\approx y(0.2)+0.2[(0.2)^2\times y(0.2)-\frac12 (y(0.2))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.4)\approx 2.7+0.2[(0.2)^2\times 2.7- \frac12(2.7)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.4)\approx 1.9926$

Substituting x =0.4 and h= 0.2

$y(0.4+0.2)\approx y(0.4)+0.2[(0.4)^2\times y(0.4)-\frac12 (y(0.4))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.6)\approx 1.9926+0.2[(0.4)^2\times 1.9926- \frac12(1.9926)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.6)\approx 1.6593$

Substituting x =0.6 and h= 0.2

$y(0.6+0.2)\approx y(0.6)+0.2[(0.6)^2\times y(0.6)-\frac12 (y(0.6))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.8)\approx 1.6593+0.2[(0.6)^2\times 1.6593- \frac12(1.6593)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.6)\approx 0.8800$

Substituting x =0.8 and h= 0.2

$y(0.8+0.2)\approx y(0.8)+0.2[(0.8)^2\times y(0.8)-\frac12 (y(0.8))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(1.0)\approx 0.8800+0.2[(0.8)^2\times 0.8800- \frac12(0.8800)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(1.0)\approx 0.9152$

Therefore the value of y(1)= 0.9152.

Please help me to do this I need help please help me thank you

butalik [34]

Answer:

(This is for the pizza question)The area of the box is 900 cm, so subtract 900 cm from the area of the circle which is (3.14)[times radius which is 12(half of 24) squared] [144*3.14] So the area of the circle is 452.16 which you get from the area formula of pi times radius squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the box first, then subtract it by the area of the circle. (please thank me for it)
