<em>Here we are required to determine the initial monthly fee charged by the electric company.</em>

The initial fee charged by the electric company is; C = $10

To solve this, we need to evaluate the slope and intercepts of the equation of the straight line graph of the relation.

y = mx + c.

  • where m = slope of the relation.

  • and c = <em>intercept = the initial fee charged by the electric company</em>.

  • y = <em>Monthly charge at each time</em>.

  • x = Usage

To find the slope;

  • m = (y2 - y1)/(X2 - x1)

  • m = (28 -22)/(150 - 100)

  • m = 6/50

  • m = 0.12.

By substituting m into the equation y = mx + c, alongside a pair of values of usage and monthly charge, we can obtain the intercept, c (i.e the initial fee charged).

Therefore, m = 0.12 , y = 82 and X = 600;

we then have;

  • 82 = 0.12(600) + c.

  • C = 82 -72

  • C = $10.

Therefore, the initial fee charged by the electric company is; C = $10.

Is the DIAMETER of a circle proportional to its circumference???
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Is the DIAMETER of a circle proportional to its circumference??

1. One of the unique qualities of a circle is that its diameter and circumference have a proportional relationship.

2. This means that no matter what size the circle is, the proportional relationship, or ratio, between its circumference and diameter is always the same.

Is the RADIUS of a circle proportional to its area??

1. Yes, the circumference of a circle is proportional to its radius.

2. Double the radius and you double the circumference.

OK.  I did it, and I have the solution.
_____________________________________

The length of the deck is  (5 + 2x) .
The width of the deck is   (4 + 2x) .

If the deck didn't have that big hole in the middle where the pool is,
then its area would be

                 (5 + 2x) · (4 + 2x) .

When you multiply that all out, you get    Area = 4x² + 18x + 20

and the question tells us that the area of the whole big rectangle is 90 yds² .
So we can write

                                             4x² + 18x + 20  =  90 .

Subtract 90 from each side:    4x² + 18x - 70  =  0
Divide each side by 2 :           2x² + 9x - 35  =  0

You can use the quadratic equation to solve that and find out that
x = 2.5 yards, and that's what the question is asking you.
___________________________________________________

That makes the deck  10 yds high and 9 yds wide.

Total area of the whole big rectangle, (deck + pool ),  =  90 yds².

Type your answer in the box.<br>Evaluate y3 – 2y (y – 5) + 13 when y = -3​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

-62

Step-by-step explanation:

y³ – 2y (y – 5) + 13

when y = -3

y³ – 2y (y – 5) + 13

=(-3)³ – 2(-3) [ (-3) – 5] + 13  (by PEDMAS, evaluate parentheses first)

=(-27) + (6) (-8) + 13   (next do multiplication)

=(-27) + (-48) + 13

= -27 - 48 + 13

= -62
