Let t be the number of tolls they crossed.
Amount they spent at each toll = $1.75.
Amount they spent at gas station = $28.
Let C be the total amount they spent on gas and tolls.
If they crossed 1 toll, then
C = 28 + 1.75(1).
If they crossed 3 tolls, then,
C = 28 + 1.75(3)
If they crossed t tolls, then,
C = 28 + 1.75t
Here, the terms are 28 and 1.75t and the factors are 1.75 and t.
I would say 25 is the answer to it
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
5/9 + 1/9
= 6/9
= 2/3 in simplest form
Answer: The amount she pays for admission
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we compute the points of interest, i.e. the points where the curve cuts the x axis: since the expression is already factored, we have
Which means that the roots are
Next, we can expand the function definition:
In this form, it is much easier to compute the derivative:
If we evaluate the derivative in the points of interest, we have
This means that we are looking for the equations of three lines, of which we know a point and the slope. The equation
is what we need. The three lines are:
This is the tangent at x = -2
This is the tangent at x = 0
This is the tangent at x = 1
