First, find the relationship of the circumference to its diameter by finding that the length of the diameter wraps around the length of the circumference approximately π times. Use this relationship to writing an equation showing the ratio of circumference to diameter equaling π. Then rearrange the equation to solve for the circumference. Substitute the diameter for 2 times the radius
Represent the number of days by x. With this representation, the variable cost of the rental is 31.67x. The total cost is the sum of the fixed and variable costs. This value should not be more than $500. The equation below shows the relationship.
130 + 31.67x ≤ 500
Solving for x gives x ≤ 11.68
Thus, the maximum number of days to rent the car is only 11 days.
Unlike the previous problem, this one requires application of the Law of Cosines. You want to find angle Q when you know the lengths of all 3 sides of the triangle.
Law of Cosines: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A
Applying that here:
40^2 = 32^2 + 64^2 - 2(32)(64)cos Q
Do the math. Solve for cos Q, and then find Q in degrees and Q in radians.
So if you distribute 4 in the first parentheses, you get 12x+20y+8z.
Then you distribute 3 in the second parentheses. You'll get 3x-3z. That all equals 12x+20y+8z+3x-3z.
Now you have to start combining numbers with the same variable. Start with x. 12x+3x is 15x.
y has no other common variable, it's left alone.
8z-3z is 5z
All together now with the numbers in simpler form, the equation is 15x+20y+5z
Jenna's would be the right answer because when you distribute 5 in her answer you get 15x+20y+5z
