A medical insurance company offers two​ prescription-drug insurance plans. With plan​ 1, James would pay the first ​$150 of his

prescription costs and 50​% of all costs after that. With plan​ 2, James would pay the first ​$280 of​ costs, but only ​20% of the rest. For what amount of prescription costs will plan 2 save James​ money? (Assume that his prescription costs exceed ​$280​.) mostly need help on how to do the problem

Answer:

when expenses are greater than $433.33

Step-by-step explanation:

set up equations for each plan

let 'x' = prescription costs

Plan 1:  y = 150 + .5x

Plan 2:  y = 280 + .2x

150 + .5x = 280 + .2x

.5x = 130 + .2x

.3x = 130

x = 433.33

i checked my answer by graphing each equation and $433.33 is the break-even point where each plan would have the same costs but, after that, the expenses for Plan B are less

The point nearest to the origin on a line is at (4, -4). Find the standard form of the equation of the line.
Scrat [10]

Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.


The point nearest the origin is (a,b).


The line from the origin through the point is


bx - ay = 0


The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):


ax + by = a^2 + b^2


ax + by -( a^2 + b^2) = 0


That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:


4 x - 4 y - 32 = 0


x - y - 8 = 0

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

<h2>If we placed the number 10 in the box, we obtain a system of equations with infinitely many solutions.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

y=2x-5\\2y-4x=a

<em>It's important to know that a system with infinitely many solutions, it's a system that has the same equation</em>, that is, both equation represent the same line, or as some textbooks say, one line is on the other one, so they have inifinitely common solutions.

Having said that, the first thing we should do here is reorder the system

y=2x-5\\2y=4x+a

This way, you can compare better both equations. If you look closer, observe that the second equation is double, that is, it can be obtained by multiplying a factor of 2 to the first one, that is

y=2x-5\\2y=4x-10

So, by multiplying such factor, we obtaine the second equation. Observe that a must be equal to 10, that way the system would have infinitely solutions.

Therefore, the answer is 10.
