A plumber charges 15 per service call, plus 50 per hour.

Mathematics

adell [148]3 years ago

Answer:

The equation of the cost is C = 50h + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope of the line ⇒ rate of change
  • b is the y-intercept ⇒ constant value

∵ A plumber charges 15 per service call

→ That means there is a fixed amount of 15

∵ b is the constant amount

∴ b = 15

∵ It charges 50 per hour

→ That means, the rate of change is 50

∵ m is the rate of change

∴ m = 50

∵ C is the cost for h hours

→ Replace y by C and x by h in the form of the linear equation above

∴ C = m h + b

→ Substitute the values of m and b in the equation

∵ C = 50h + 15

∴ The equation of the cost is C = 50h + 15

The circumference can be obtained fairly easily by simply substituting the d in c = πd for the colony's given diameter of 12 mm. Performing that calculation using the approximation of π ≈ 3.14, we obtain a circumference of 12 x 3.14 = 37.68 mm.

To find the radius, remember how the diameter and radius of a circle are defined. The radius is a length extending from the center of a circle to a point on its circumference, and a diameter is a line extending from one point on the circle's circumference to an opposite point, passing through the circle's center along the way. The diameter can, in this way, be defined as twice the length of the radius, which means we can find the radius of a circle by taking half of its diameter. In this case, our diameter is 12 mm, so our radius would be 6 mm.

A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll
Over [174]

Answer:

  11

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations appear to be ...

  • 12x +4y = 152
  • 32x +12y = 420

These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:

  y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11

The cost of the vegetarian lunch is 11.

_____

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>

For equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

The solutions are ...

  x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)

  y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression

Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.

Consider the line x+5y=6
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

x + 5y = 6 is perpendicular to y = 5x + \frac{6}{5} and parallel to y = -\frac{1}{5}x + 2\\

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the equation to standard form so that y is isolated.

x + 5y = 6 --> x - 6 = -5y (divide both sides by -5) --> y = -\frac{1}{5}x + \frac{6}{5}

A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope (meaning you flip the numerator and denominator then make it negative).

-\frac{1}{5} is perpendicular to -(\frac{-5}{1} ) which simplifies to 5.

A parallel line will have the same slope, but the y-intercept will be different. It can be pretty much any number as long as the original slope is used in the new equation.

y = -\frac{1}{5}x + \frac{6}{5}\\ is parallel to y = -\frac{1}{5}x + 2\\ just like y = -\frac{1}{5}x - \frac{100}{23}.

. It takes 11 widgets to assemble one motor. Your team can assemble four motors in one day. If you need to order parts for next
Naya [18.7K]

Number of widgets needed to make one motor = 11

Number of motors made each day = 4

Number of widgets used per day :-

= 4 × 11

= 44 widgets

Number of widgets I need to order for the next five days of the upcoming week :-

= 44 × 5

= 220 widgets

Therefore , my team should order 220 widgets for the next week ( 5 working days ) .
