Ulysses is spending his vacation in South Carolina. He rents a car and is offered two different payment options. He can either p

ay $25.00 each day plus $0.15 per mile (option A) or pay $10.00 each day plus $0.40 per mile (option B). Ulysses rents the car for one day.
Write an inequality representing the number of miles where option A will be the cheaper plan. (set up the inequality and then step by step how to solve)
How many miles will Ulysses have to drive for option A to be the cheaper option?

The inequality that is set up and solved is as follows:

0.15x +25 < 0.40x +10     x represents the number of miles and the inequality is set up to make option a cheaper.

 0.15x +25 < 0.40x +10
 -0.15x         -0.15x                 Subtract 0.15x from both sides to get the variable on one side

 25> 0.40x + 10
-10             -10                    Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the variable

    15> 0.40x
÷0.40   ÷0.40                        Divide both sides by 0.40 to isolate the variable          
60 < x

This shows that if the miles are greater than 60 miles then option A is cheaper. If the miles are less than 60, then option B is cheaper

Hi there! First things first, we would set the inequality up like this: 25 + 0.15m < 10 + 0.40m. We set this up, because we are looking for A to be the better option and it’s only being rented for a day. Subtract 0.40m from both sides to get 25 - 0.25m < 10. This is because the number with the variable on the left side is now s negative. Now, subtract 25 to get -0.25m < -15. Now, divide each side by -0.25 to isolate the variable. When you do, you get m > 60. This is because you divided by a negative number, so you flip the symbol over to the opposite. Driving 60 miles will get you the same price, but Ulysses will have to drive 61 miles for option A to be cheaper.

Ariel left her home at 9 a.m., driving at 45 mph. At 11 a.m. her brother left the home and started after her at 60 mph. At what
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Her brother catch her at 11 am + 4hour = 15 p.m  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as ;

Speed of Ariel = 45 mph

She left home at 9 a.m

Her brother speed = 60 mph

Her brother left home at 11 a.m

Now from question So As Ariel speed is 45 mph so, after two hours pass , she ahead 90 m .

As her brother travel as 60 mph ,so he travel at ( 60 - 45 )= 15 mph faster

So, with this speed her brother will catch up her at \frac{90}{15} = after 4 hour .

Hence her brother catch her at 11 am + 4hour = 15 p.m  Answer

The following formula for the sum of the cubes of the first n integers is proved in Appendix E. Use it to evaluate the limit in
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2})

And when we apply the limit we got that:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2}) =1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "The following formula for the sum of the cubes of the first n integers is proved in Appendix E. Use it to evaluate the limit . 1^3+2^3+3^3+...+n^3=[n(n+1)/2]^2"

We have the following formula in order to find the sum of cubes:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} i^3

We can express this formula like this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}i^3 =\lim_{n\to\infty} [\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2

And using this property we need to proof that: 1^3+2^3+3^3+...+n^3=[n(n+1)/2]^2

\lim_{n\to\infty} [\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2

If we operate and we take out the 1/4 as a factor we got this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{n^4}

We can cancel n^2 and we got

\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{(n+1)^2}{n^2}

We can reorder the terms like this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (\frac{n+1}{n})^2

We can do some algebra and we got:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+\frac{1}{n})^2

We can solve the square and we got:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2})

And when we apply the limit we got that:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2}) =1

77 million to 200.2 million
Luda [366]
77 million to 200.2 millionFrom 77 million it becomes 200.2 million.It is very noticeable that it increased we only need to identify the number that has increased.=> 200.2 - 77 million = 123.2 millionNow, let's find the increase rate:=> 123.2 million / 200.2 million = 0.62Now let's convert this to percentage=> 0.62 * 100% = 62%<span>

Points H and F lie on circle c What is the length of line segment GH?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points H and F lie on  circle with center C. EG = 12, EC = 9 and ∠GEC = 90°.

To find: Length of GH.

Sol: EC = CH = 9 (Radius of the same circle are equal)

Now, GC = GH + CH

GC = GH + 9

Now In ΔEGC, using pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)^{2} = (Base)^{2} +(Altitude)^{2} ......(ΔEGC is a right triangle)

(GC)^{2} = (GE)^{2} +(EC)^{2}

(GH + 9)^{2} = (9)^{2} +(12)^{2}

(GH )^{2} + (9)^{2} + 18GH = 81 + 144

(GH )^{2} + 81 + 18GH = 81 + 144

(GH )^{2} + 18GH = 144

Now, Let GH = <em>x</em>

x^{2} +18x = 144

On rearranging,

x^{2} +18 x - 144 = 0

x^{2} - 6x +24x + 144 = 0

x (x-6) + 24 (x - 6) =0

(x - 6) (x + 24) = 0

So x = 6  and x = - 24

∵ x cannot be - 24 as it will not satisfy the property of right triangle.

Therefore, the length of line segment GH = 6 units. so, Option (D) is the correct answer.

dmitriy555 [2]
Yes and no, (4, 5) multiplied by 2 is (10, 8) but reversed. It depends on how you look at it because (10, 8) would be on the other side of the graph than (8, 10) which is the actually equivalent.
