Part A: To get an equation into standard form to represent the total amount rented (y) that Marguerite has to pay for renting the truck for x amount of days, we use the formula for the equation of a straight line.
Remember that the equation of a straight line passing through points is ( x_{1} , y_{1} ) and the points ( x_{2} , y_{2} ) is given by
y - y_{1} / x - x_{1} = y - y_{2} / x - x_{2}
Knowing that Marguerite rented a truck at $125 for 2 days, we know if she rents the exact same truck for 5 days, she has to pay a total of $275 for the rent.
<span>
This means that the line modeling this situation crosses points at (2, 125) and (5, 275).
</span>
The equation modeling <span>the total rent (y) that Marguerite has to pay for renting the truck for x days is given by
</span><span>
y - 125 / x - 2 = 275 - 125 / 5 - 2 = 150 / 3 = 50
</span>
But if you are writing the equation in standard form it would be <span>
</span><span>
50x - y = -25
Part B:
When writing the function using function notation it means you are making y the subject of the formula and then replacing the y with f(x).
</span>
If you remember that from part A, we have that the equation for the total rent which is y that Marguerite has to pay for renting the truck for x amount of days is given by
y = 50x + 25.<span>
</span><span>
Writing the equation using the function notation would give us this
f(x) = 50x + 25
Part C:
To graph the function, we name the x-axis the number of days and name the y-axis total rent. The x-axis is numbered using the intervals of 1 while the y-axis is numbered using the intervals of 50.
The points of </span>(2,125) and of (5,275) are marked on the coordinate axis and a straight line is drawn to pass through these two points.
Simplifying
25x + -15 = 2y
Reorder the terms:
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 25x = 15 + 2y
Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 25x = 15 + 2y
25x = 15 + 2y
Divide each side by '25'.
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
Simplifying
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
Answer:
13 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 parts be x and y, then
x + y = 29 → (1) and
x² + y² = 425 → (2)
From (1) → x = 29 - y → (3)
substitute x = 29 - y into (2)
(29 - y)² + y² = 425 ( expand factor )
841 - 58y + y² + y² = 425 ( rearrange into standard form )
2y² - 58y + 416 = 0 ← in standard quadratic form
divide all terms by 2
y² - 29y + 208 = 0
Consider the factors of 208 which sum to - 29
These are - 13 and - 16, hence
(y - 13)(y - 16) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for y
y - 13 = 0 ⇒ y = 13
y - 16 = 0 ⇒ y = 16
substitute these values into (3)
x = 29 - 13 = 16 and x = 29 - 16 = 13
The 2 parts are 13 and 16
