2. Suppose you are considering buying a Toyota Prius, which starts at $25,000 and gets 50
mpg. A similarly equipped Honda Accord will start at $22,000 but will get 31 mpg.
(a) How many miles will it take the Prius to recoup the price difference?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If a gallon of gas costs $2.9

The Prius can drive 50 miles with one gallon.

then for m miles, it needs:

(m/50) gallons.

and each gallon costs $2.9

Then for driving m miles, the cost would be:

(m/50)*$2.9

Then the total cost of buying the Prius and driving for m miles is:

P(m) = $25,000 + (m/50)*$2.9

We can do a similar approach for the Accord's case.

The Accord can drive 31 miles with one gallon.

Then if it drives m miles, it will need:

(m/31) gallons.

And knowing that each gallon costs $2.9, the cost for driving m miles is:

(m/31)*$2.9

Then the total cost of buying an Accord and driving for m miles is:

A(m) = $22,000 + (m/31)*$2.9

We want to find the value of m, such that the cost of the Prius is smaller than the cost of the Accord.

Then the first thing we need to find is the value of m such that the costs are equal:

P(m) = A(m)

$25,000 + (m/50)*$2.9 = $22,000 + (m/31)*$2.9

$25,000 - $22,000 = (m/31)*$2.9 -  (m/50)*$2.9

$3,000 = m*$2.9*(1/31 - 1/50)

$3,000/($2.9*(1/31 - 1/50)) = m = 84,392

This means that if you drive more than 84,392 miles, then the cost of the Prius will be smaller.

Answer:

Roses

4*8 = 32 ft²

Zinnias

8*12 - 4*8 = 64 ft²

Snapdragons

12*16 - 8*12 = 96 ft²

Petunias

20*16 - 12*16 = 128 ft²

Area of rectangle = length × width

Roses → 8 × 4 = 32 ft²

Answers

Answer:

60 millas por hora.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que un taxi viaja  a una velocidad de 48 mph  para llegar a un destino en 2 horas y media, para determinar cuál seria su velocidad si se tarda dos horas para llegar ​se debe realizar el siguiente cálculo:

48 x 2.5 = 120

120 / 2 = X

60 = X

Así, su velocidad, si se tardase dos horas en llegar, sería de 60 millas por hora.

ONM has vertices O (-4, 2), N (3, 6) and M(0,3). What are the coordinates of the

vertices of O' N' M' if ONM is first translated (x, y)+(x + 3, y) followed by a

reflection across the line y = 1?

Answers

Answer:

The new vertices are [tex]O''(x,y) = (-1, 0)[/tex], [tex]N''(x,y) = (6,-4)[/tex] and [tex]M''(x,y) = (3,-1)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Previously, we have to define a vectorial equation for a reflection across the line [tex]y = 1[/tex]:

Reflection across the line y = 1:

[tex]P'(x,y) = P(x,y) -2\cdot [P(x,y) -(x_{P},1)][/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]P(x,y)[/tex] - Original point.

[tex]x_{P}[/tex] - x-Coordinate of the original point.

[tex]P'(x,y)[/tex] - Resulting point.

Translation:

[tex]P'(x,y) = P(x,y) + (3,0)[/tex] (2)

If we know that [tex]O(x,y) = (-4,2)[/tex], [tex]N(x,y) = (3, 6)[/tex] and [tex]M(x,y) = (0,3)[/tex], then the resulting points are, respectively:

Point O'

Translation

[tex]O'(x,y) = O(x,y) + (3,0)[/tex]

[tex]O'(x,y) = (-1,2)[/tex]

Reflection

[tex]O''(x,y) = O'(x,y) -2\cdot [O'(x,y) -(x_{O'},1)][/tex]

[tex]O''(x,y) = (-1,2) -2\cdot [(-1, 2)-(-1,1)][/tex]

[tex]O''(x,y) = (-1, 0)[/tex]

Point N'

Translation

[tex]N'(x,y) = N(x,y) + (3,0)[/tex]

[tex]N'(x,y) = (6,6)[/tex]

Reflection

[tex]N''(x,y) = N'(x,y) -2\cdot [N'(x,y) -(x_{N'},1)][/tex]

[tex]N''(x,y) = (6,6) - 2\cdot [(6,6)-(6,1)][/tex]

[tex]N''(x,y) = (6,-4)[/tex]

Point M'

Translation

[tex]M'(x,y) = M(x,y) + (3,0)[/tex]

[tex]M(x,y) = (3,3)[/tex]

Reflection

[tex]M''(x,y) = M'(x,y) -2\cdot [M'(x,y) -(x_{M'},1)][/tex]

[tex]M''(x,y) = (3,3) - 2\cdot [(3,3)-(3,1)][/tex]

[tex]M''(x,y) = (3,-1)[/tex]

The new vertices are [tex]O''(x,y) = (-1, 0)[/tex], [tex]N''(x,y) = (6,-4)[/tex] and [tex]M''(x,y) = (3,-1)[/tex].

Charnika has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. She wants to have at least $200 in the account by the end of the summer. She withdraws $25 each week for food, clothes, and movie tickets. How many weeks can Charnika withdraw money from her account?
A: –10 or less
B: –10 or greater
C: 12 or less
D: 12 or greater

Answers

ANSWER:

D) 12 or greater

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money Charnika has = $500

The money she wants to save = $200

Amount of money she can spend = $ (500 - 200)

= $300

Amount of money withdrawn in every week = $25

The number of weeks the money can be withdrawn = $ (300÷25)

= $ 12

Answer:

8 of the 28 horses would be palomino horses

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we understand that there are 10 palomino horses and 25 others, meaning there are 35 total.

The question wants to know that if 28 horses came out, how many of them would be palomino horses.

We know that the palomino horses are  [tex]\frac{10}{35}[/tex]

What we need to know is [tex]\frac{x}{28}[/tex]

to find x, we cross multiply

 

[tex]\frac{10}{35} = \frac{x}{28}[/tex]

10 x 28 and 35 x X

280  =  35x

Divide both sides by 35

x = 8

8 of the 28 horses would be palomino horses

If f(1)=6 and f(n)=f(n-1)+2 then find the value of f(6)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

f(6) = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

In the next steps we use this formula : f(n)=f(n-1)+2 

Since f(1)=6 then f(2)=f(2-1)+2 = f(1)+2 = 6+2 = 8

         f(2)=8 then f(3)=f(3-1)+2  = f(2)+2 = 8+2 = 10

         f(3)=10 then f(4)=f(4-1)+2  = f(3)+2 = 10+2 = 12

        f(4)=12 then f(5)=f(5-1)+2  = f(4)+2 = 12+2 = 14

        f(5)=14 then f(6)=f(5-1)+2  = f(4)+2 = 14+2 = 16.

Manatees are an endangered species of herbivorous, aquatic mammals found primarily in the rivers and estuaries of Florida. As part of its conservation efforts, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission records the cause of death for every recovered manatee carcass in its waters. Of the 392 recorded manatee deaths in 2012, 68 were perinatal and 81 were caused by collision with a watercraft.

Required:
a. What is the probability that the death of a randomly selected manatee was due to collision with a watercraft?
b. What is the probability that the death was not due to collision with a watercraft?
c. What is the probability that the cause of death was due to perinatal problems or collision with a watercraft?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.206 , b) 0.794 , c) 0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Prob(watercraft collision death)= Watercraft collision deaths / Total deaths = 81 / 392 = 0.206

b) Prob (Death non watercraft collison) = 1 - Prob (Death watercraft collision) = 1 - 0.206 = 0.794

c) Prob (Prenatal or watercraft collision death) = (68 + 81) / 392 = 0.38

A. 28; two real roots

Answers

Answer:

Discriminant = -24, no real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is what's inside the square root in the quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is:

[tex]\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

a = 1

b = 2

c = 7

The question wants the discriminate, we can just focus on the square root part.

When we plug in the parts we got, it becomes:

[tex]\sqrt{4-4(1)(7)}\\\sqrt{4-28} \\\sqrt{-24}[/tex]

Since the inside of the square root is negative, there are no real roots.

By using trigonometric relations we will see that the area is:

How to find the area of one triangular section?

Remember that the area of a right triangle is equal to the product between the cathetus divided by 2.

Sadly, here we don't have the measures of any sides of the triangle, so getting the actual area is impossible, but if we assume that some dimension is given (like the height, let's say that is h).

h is the cathetus adjacent to the 60° angle, then the other cathetus (the bottom one) is given by:

tan(60°) = x/h

x = tan(60°)*h

Then our two catheti are h and tan(60°)*h.

This means that the area will be:

[tex]A = h*tan(60\°)*/2 = tan(60\°)*h^2/2[/tex]

Here we only used trigonometric properties, so this area will work for any height given (always that the value of h is the cathetus adjacent to the 60° angle).
