Estimation Rita goes to the mall. If x is the number of items she ​bought, the expression 18.54x+23 gives the amount she spent i

n dollars at one store. Then she spent 25 dollars at another store. Find the expression which represents the amount Rita spent at the mall. Then estimate how much Rita spent if she bought 2 items.

Answer:

  • 18.54x +48
  • $85

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount Rita spent is ...

  (18.54x +23) +(25) = 18.54x +48 . . . total spent

__

When x=2, that is approximately ...

  (18.5)(2) + 48 = 37 +48 = (40 -3) +(50 -2) = (40 +50) -(3 +2) = 90 -5 = 85

Rita spent about $85 if she bought 2 items.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Estimation is often done using 1 significant figure. In this case, that would mean rounding the equation to 20x+50, so it would give a value of 90 when x=2.

An additional task when estimating is to estimate the error in the estimate. Here, using 20x+50 has an error of approximately 1.5x+2 (too high), so the error for 2 items will be about (1.5(2)+2) = 5. That is, the estimate of 90 is approximately 5 too high. Even this estimate has a remaining small error of 0.04x (too low).

write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope slope is -3 (-5, 4)
Paraphin [41]

point slope form of a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = -3(x--5)

y-4 =-3(x+5)

to change to slope intercept form

dstribute

y-4 = -3x-15

add 4 to each side

y = -3x-15+4

y = -3x-11

Find the equation of the locus of a point that moves so that its distance from the line 12x-5y-1=0 is always 1 unit.
leonid [27]

<u>Answer-</u>

The equations of the locus of a point that moves so that its distance from the line 12x-5y-1=0 is always 1 unit are

12x-5y+14=0 \\ 12x-5y-14=0

<u>Solution-</u>

Let a point which is 1 unit away from the line 12x-5y-1=0 is (h, k)

The applying the distance formula,

\Rightarrow \left | \frac{12h-5k-1}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}} \right |=1

\Rightarrow \left | \frac{12h-5k-1}{\sqrt{169}} \right |=1

\Rightarrow \left | \frac{12h-5k-1}{13} \right |=1

\Rightarrow 12h-5k-1=\pm 13

\Rightarrow 12h-5k=\pm 14

\Rightarrow 12h-5k=14,\ 12h-5k=-14

\Rightarrow 12h-5k-14=0,\ 12h-5k+14=0

\Rightarrow 12x-5y-14=0,\ 12x-5y+14=0

Two equations are formed because one will be upper from the the given line and other will be below it.
