I hope this helps you
35+50=50+35=85
The first hour is free, and the rest charges is $2.50
Let x be the time.
Let y be the total
Your equation will look like
When x < 2, y = 0
When x > 1, y = $2.50(x)
So:
1 < x < ∞ for hours, then equation will look like:
y = total amount
$2.50 is cost (remember that the first hour is for free, and so you subtract $2.50 from the total.
$2.50x - $2.50 = y should be your equation.
hope this helps
First you would need to combine like terms. do you know how to do that?
Answer:
We are effectively looking for a and b such that 5, a, b, 135 is a geometric sequence.
This sequence has common ratio <span><span>3<span>√<span>1355</span></span></span>=3</span>, hence <span>a=15</span> and <span>b=45</span>
Explanation:
In a geometric sequence, each intermediate term is the geometric mean of the term before it and the term after it.
So we want to find a and b such that 5, a, b, 135 is a geometric sequence.
If the common ratio is r then:
<span><span>a=5r</span><span>b=ar=5<span>r2</span></span><span>135=br=5<span>r3</span></span></span>
Hence <span><span>r3</span>=<span>1355</span>=27</span>, so <span>r=<span>3<span>√27</span></span>=3</span>
Then <span>a=5r=15</span> and <span>b=ar=15⋅3=45</span>
