Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

False.

0.40 is the rate of change.

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

As mentioned in the scenario, the car company charges a $30 fee which is flat. The '30' is the base for the total cost.
The car company also charges 40 cents for every mile driven.
This means that the company would charge a 40 cents for a mile driven.
40 cents would be the rate of change, not $30.

Side Note:

An equation that represents the situation could be:

$C = 0.40m + 30$

'C' is the total cost for renting the car.

'm' is the number of miles the car is driven.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Giovanni justifies whether the expression -4x-8 is equivalent to -2(x+1)-2(x+3) by letting x=3 in both expressions. What is the

Lorico [155]

Answer:

The value of each expression when x=3 will be -20 and -20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

-4x-8

setting x=3

= -4(3)-8

=-12-8

=-20

Given the expression

-2(x+1)-2(x+3)

setting x=3

=-2(3+1)-2(3+3)

=-2(4)-2(6)

=-8-12

=-20

so we conclude that the value of both the expressions was -20 when we substituted the value x=3.

Therefore, the value of each expression when x=3 will be -20 and -20.

Karen notices that segment BC and segment EF are congruent in the image below:

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Givens:

$A(-2;2) \ B(-2;4) \ C(0;3) \ D(2;1) \ E(2;3) \ F(0;2)$
$BC \cong EF$
$\angle C \cong \angle F$

Using this information we could recur to SAS postulate to demonstrate the congruence of this pair of triangles. We already have one side and one angle congruent, we just need to demonstrate that $AC \cong DF$ , that will prove the complete congruence.

So, based on the given coordinates, we're able to calculate the length of each side and find if they are the same. We use this formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\\d_{AC} =\sqrt{(0-(-2))^{2}+(3-2)^{2}}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt{5}\\\\\d_{DF} =\sqrt{(0-2)^{2}+(2-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt{5}$
