Given:

The graph of cost of taxi with respect to number of miles.

To find:

The formula for C in terms of n.

Solution:

In the given graph x axis represents the number of miles (n) and y-axis represents the cost of taxi (C).

From the given graph it is clear that, the line passes through the points (0,3) and (5,6). So, the equation of line is

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

y-3=\dfrac{6-3}{5-0}(x-0)

y-3=\dfrac{3}{5}(x)

Adding 3 on both sides, we get

y=\dfrac{3}{5}x+3

Putting y=C and x=n, we get

C=\dfrac{3}{5}n+3

Therefore, the required formula is C=\dfrac{3}{5}n+3.

The length of a rectangle is 3 feet more than twice the width. The perimeter is 128 feet. Find the length and width.
iragen [17]
We are going to consider a rectangle with length called "a" and width "b"  Then we know that perimeter is the sum of both sides 2*a + 2*b = 128  And also the following equation given by the question: a = 2*b + 3  So solving the first equation: 2*(2*b+3) + 2*b = 128 4*b+6+2*b=128 6*b = 122 b = 122/6 = 61/3  Then a=2*122/6+3 = 244/6+3 = 262/6 = 131/3  Solution:  Length = 131/3 Width = 61/3

Determine the area of each polygon below <br><br> Help me please
julia-pushkina [17]
9) Separate the polygon into 2 shapes (a rectangle and triangle). Then plug in the formula for those 2 shapes separately and add the 2 areas.
First, the triangle's area = bh x 1/2 or bh/2.
b=5 and h=5, so 5x5/2 or 25/2 = 12.5.
Next, solve the area for the rectangle(lw=A). l=5 and 2=8, so 5x8=40.
Add 40 +12.5 = 52.5cm^2 (always include units).

10) It is similar to the last problem. You will separate the polygon into 2 shapes (a circle and a square), but this time you will subtract the area of the sector formed from the circle (draw a dotted line where the circle would be formed in the square).
So, the area of the square is 2x2=4ft^2. 
area of a circle is (pi)r2 or (pi)2^2= 4pi or about 12.5ft^2.
4+12.5 = 16.5 ft^2.
Now, the area of the sector must be subtracted from the combination of the 2 areas found above.
The area of a sector is 2(pi)r x (C/360).
The angle is given as 90°, the radius is 2 ft. Now plug these into the equation.
2(pi)(2)x(90/360) = 3.14ft^2.
16.5-3.14= 13.4 ft^2.

Having trouble with this math problem. I really would like some help
Pavlova-9 [17]
The answer would have to be C because he cannot sell negative hats or infinitely many because he only has 300 to sell in the first place. Answer choice D makes no sense because there is no value of x that is less than zero and greater than 500.
