After that incident, the Civil defense team decided to buy new trucks with ladders higher than 100 feet. They found 2 different

trucks with same height of ladders. The first truck costs $145,000 and will cost $0.31 per mile traveled based on the current gas prices. The second truck will cost $160,000 but gets better gas mileage, costing $0.27 per mile. They need to decide which truck is the best deal.

Answer:

the first truck

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost difference between the first truck and the second truck = $160,000-$145,000 = $15,000

the difference of gas cost between the first truck and the second truck = $0.31 - $0.26= $0.05 per mile.

so,

I think, this is a very significant number of truck cost compared with gas cost

for the best deal, the first truck is the best choice.

Every prime number greater than 10 has a digit in the ones place that is include in wich set of numbers A- 1,3,7,9 B-1,3,5,9 D-1
marta [7]

That's very interesting.  I had never thought about it before.
Let's look through all of the ten possible digits in that place,
and see what we can tell:

-- 0:
   A number greater than 10 with a 0 in the units place is a multiple of
   either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.

-- 1:
    A number greater than 10 with a 1 in the units place could be
    a prime (11, 31 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (21, 51).

-- 2:
   A number greater than 10 with a 2 in the units place has 2 as a factor
   (it's an even number), so it's not a prime number.

-- 3:
   A number greater than 10 with a 3 in the units place could be
   a prime (13, 23 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (33, 63) .

-- 4: 
   A number greater than 10 with a 4 in the units place is an even
   number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.

-- 5:
   A number greater than 10 with a 5 in the units place is a multiple
   of either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.

-- 6:
   A number greater than 10 with a 6 in the units place is an even
   number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.

-- 7:
   A number greater than 10 with a 7 in the units place could be
   a prime (17, 37 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (27, 57) .

-- 8:
   A number greater than 10 with a 8 in the units place is an even
   number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.

-- 9:
   A number greater than 10 with a 9 in the units place could be
   a prime (19, 29 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (39, 69) .

So a number greater than 10 that IS a prime number COULD have
any of the digits  1,  3,  7,  or  9  in its units place.

It CAN't have a  0,  2,  4,  5,  6,  or  8 .

The only choice that includes all of the possibilities is  'A' .

Anyone know the answer?? ​
Serggg [28]

Answer:

the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

in ax²+bx+c = 0:

x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

subtract both sides by 6 to get to this form, as the right side will be left with 0

6x² + 8x - 6 = 0

here, the coefficient for x² (a) is 6, the coefficient for x (b) is 8, and the remaining number added on (c) is -6

plugging our numbers into the formula, we get

x = \frac{-8+-\sqrt{(-8)^2-4(6)(-6)} }{2(6)}\\= \frac{-8+-\sqrt{64-(-144)} }{12} \\= \frac{-8+-\sqrt{208} }{12} \\ = \frac{-8+\sqrt{208} }{12} or \frac{-8-\sqrt{208} }{12}\\= 0.53518375848 or -1.86851709182\\= approximately -1.87, 0.54
