The function f (x) = .85x+3.99 models the total cost of purchasing x key chains from an internet company that charges shipping t

he function g (x) = 1.10x models the total purchasing of x number of the same key chains from an company that does not charge shipping. Rounding to the nearest whole number what is the best approximation of the number of key chains for which the two companies charge the same amount?

Answer:

16 key chains

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 0.85x + 3.99 ---company A

g(x) = 1.10x --- company B

Required

Value of x when f(x) = g(x)

We have:

f(x) = g(x)

0.85x + 3.99 = 1.10x

Collect like terms

0.85x - 1.10x = -3.99

-0.25x = -3.99

Solve for x

x = \frac{-3.99}{-0.25}

x = 15.96

x= 16 --- approximated

devlian [24]
<span>Let the height of tree be denoted as AB and the shadow cast by the tree be BE. ABE is the triangle formed the tree, rays and the ground. Let the height of the person be CD and the length of his shadow be DE. CDE is the triangle formed by the person, rays and the ground. We have two triangles. Both the person and the tree stand vertically over the horizontal ground, therefore they make 90 degrees with the ground. The angle formed at the ground is the same for the both the triangles. Therefore, by AA similarity the two triangles are similar. We know that if two triangles are similar, then their sides are proportional. Therefore, AB/CD =BE/DE AB/6 = 143/11 AB= (143/11) *6 AB = 78 ft.</span>

Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this exercise you must keep on mind the Angle at the Center Theorem.

According to the  Angle at the Center Theorem, an inscribed angle is half of the central angle.

Therefore, given in the inscribed angle m∠BAC=35°, you can calculate the central angle m∠EFD as following:

BAC=\frac{EFD}{2}

- Solve for EFD.

EFD=2*BAC

- When you substitute values. you obtain:

EFD=2(35\°)\\EFD=70\°
