Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of miles = x

C ost = Base + 0.84x

Cost = 220.71 dollars

Base = 19.95

220.71 = 19.95 + 0.84x                    Subtract 19.95 from both sides

220,71 - 19.95 = 0.84 x                    Combine

200.76 = 0.84x                                Divide by 0,84

200.76/0.84 = x

x = 239 miles.

Remark: The trick to this question is to make sure that total Cost, the Base amount, and cost / mile are all in dollars. Don't mix and match.

Write the sum or difference in the standard form a + bi. ( 7 + 5i) - ( -9 + i)
Veseljchak [2.6K]
(7 + 5i) - ( -9 + i)
= 7 + 5i - (-9) - (i)
= 7 + 5i + 9 - i
= 16 + 4i

= 4i + 16

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 5x + 5 written in simplest radical form? Quadratic formula: x = StartFraction neg
Harman [31]

Answer:

x=\frac{-5(+/-)\sqrt{5}} {2}

x = StartFraction negative 5 plus or minus StartRoot 5 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

f(x)=x^{2} +5x+5  

equate the function to zero

x^{2} +5x+5=0  

so

a=1\\b=5\\c=5

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-5(+/-)\sqrt{5^{2}-4(1)(5)}} {2(1)}

x=\frac{-5(+/-)\sqrt{5}} {2}

therefore

x = StartFraction negative 5 plus or minus StartRoot 5 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction
