The monthly cost (in dollars) of a long-distance phone plan is a linear function of the total calling time (in minutes). The mon

kkurt [141]

The monthly cost will be $17.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the monthly cost (in dollars) of a long-distance phone plan is a linear function of the total calling time (in minutes) then this can be presented in a table form as;

<u>Time in minutes (x)</u> <u>Cost in dollars (y)</u>

50 $12.55

102 $ 17.23

Take the values as ordered pairs to represent coordinates for points that satisfy the linear function

(50,12.55) and (102,17.23)

Finding the slope of the graph using these points

slope,m=Δy/Δx

m=Δy=17.23-12.55 =4.68

Δx=102-50=52

m=4.68/52 =0.09

Finding the equation of the linear function using m=0.09, and point (50,12.55)

m=Δy/Δx

0.09=y-12.55/x-50

0.09(x-50)=y-12.55

0.09x-4.5=y-12.55

0.09x-4.5+12.55=y

y=0.09x+8.05

So for 101 minutes , the cost will be;

y=0.09*101 +8.05

y=9.09+8.05 = $17.14

Simplify the expression state any excluded values<br> 2a^2-4a+2<br> ---------------<br> 3a^2-3

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The simplified form is $\dfrac{2(x-1)}{3(x+1)}$ .

$x =1$ is the excluded value for the given expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The expression given is:

$\dfrac{2a^2-4a+2}{3a^2-3}$

Let us simplify the numerator and denominator separately.

The numerator is given as $2a^2-4a+2$

2 is a common factor in all the three terms. So, we factor it out. This gives,

$=2(a^2-2a+1)$

Now, $a^2-2a+1=(a-1)(a-1)$

Therefore, the numerator becomes $2(a-1)(a-1)$

The denominator is given as: $3a^2-3$

Factoring out 3, we get

$3(a^2-1)$

Now, $a^2-1$ is of the form $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$

So, $a^2-1=(a-1)(a+1)$

Therefore, the denominator becomes $3(a-1)(a+1)$

Now, the given expression is simplified to:

$\frac{2a^2-4a+2}{3a^2-3}=\frac{2(x-1)(x-1)}{3(x-1)(x+1)}$

There is $(x-1)$ in the numerator and denominator. We can cancel them only if $x\ne1$ as for $x=1$ , the given expression is undefined.

Now, cancelling the like terms considering $x\ne1$ , we get:

$\dfrac{2a^2-4a+2}{3a^2-3}=\dfrac{2(x-1)}{3(x+1)}$

Therefore, the simplified form is $\dfrac{2(x-1)}{3(x+1)}$

The simplification is true only if $x\ne1$ . So, $x =1$ is the excluded value for the given expression.

Write an equation for each context. Draw a model first if necessary, and make sure you define your variable and what it represen

Bad White [126]

Answer:

(a)$2248.8

(b) 14, 28, 16 and 7 candies

(c) $79

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) the model can be represented by the nth term of an arithmetic progression

L = a + (n-1)d

L= the amount in his account after 6 month; $12484

a= the amount in his account six month before; $1240

n = 6, being the sixth month of his deposit

d = the amount deposited monthly

12484 = 1240 + 5d:

12484-1240 = 5d

5d= 11244

d = 2248.8

(b) let the 1st box contain = x

2nd = 2x; 3rd = x + 2, 4th = 1/4(2x)

Hence; x + 2x + x +2 + 1/4(2x) = 65

4x + x/2 = 65-2

9x/2 = 63 ; 9x = 126. ; x = 14

(c) Each player gets a racket (r) and a can (c) of balls

The 5 players get in all 5 racket + 5 cans since Simon is a member

Therefore, 5r + 5c = 415

But each can cost $4,

5r + 5* 4 = 415; 6r = 415-20

5r = 395 ; r = 395/5

r = $ 79

The racket cost $79 each.
