Rameen’s heating bill is $5.42 per month plus $1.08 per therm. How many therms can Rameen use if he wants his heating bill to be a maximum of $87.50? Write the solution in interval notation.

Answers

Answer 1

Write and solve an inequality:

Total(t) = $5.42 + ($1.08/therm)(t) ≤ $87.50.

First, subtract $5.42 from $87.50:  then ($1.08/therm)(t) ≤ $82.08

Next, divide both sides by $1.08 per therm:


t ≤ ($82.08) / ($1.08/therm) = 76 therms (maximum).  Thus, Rameen's usage could be [0,76] (therms).

Answer 2

Answer:

[0,76]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Read the problem.

Step 2. Identify what you are looking for.

the number of therms Rameen can buy

Step 3. Name what you are looking for. Choose a variable to represent that quantity.

Let t= the number of therms.

Step 4. Translate. Write a sentence that gives the information to find it. Translate into an inequality.

$5.42 plus $1.08 times the number of therms is less than or equal to $87.50.

5.42+1.08t≤87.50

Step 5. Solve the inequality.

1.08tt≤82.08≤76

Step 6. Check the answer in the problem and make sure it makes sense.

Yes, 5.42+1.08(76)=87.50.

Step 7. Answer the question with a complete sentence.

Rameen can buy no more than 76 therms if he wants his heating bill to be a maximum of $87.50.

Since it is not possible to buy a negative number of therms, the lest number of therms Rameen can buy is 0.

In interval notation, the amount of therms Rameen can buy is [0,76].

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake and erica were solving a system of equations. They both noticed that the two lines had the same slope. Jake said that because each line in the system had the same slope, the two lines had to be the same, which meant there were infinitely as many solutions to the solutions to the system. Erica disagreed, and said they ahould also look at the y-intercepts before determining how many solutions there were. Who is correct?

Answers

Answer:

Erica

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines with the same (defined) slope will only have infinite solutions if their y-intercepts are the same. Otherwise, the number of solutions (points on both lines) is zero.

Since the 2 lines have the same slope, then the lines are parallel and never intersect. Thus there is no solution to the system of equations

Neither Jake nor Erica are correct.

Viete's Formulas - what are they used for?
If we have a quadratic equation 2X^2 + 4X -6 = 0, whose roots are x1=1 and x2=-3 and where a = 2 b=4 and c=-6 then according to Viete's formulas (x1 + x2) = (-b/a) and (x1 • x2) = (c/a).
I suppose these formulas could be used as a double check for calculating the roots but do they serve any other purpose? (I also know there are other Viete's formulas for cubic, quartic, etc. equations).

Answers

For quadratics, these formulas are used mainly for factoring.

Your equation can be written as ...

... 2(x² +2x -3) = 0

You factor this by looking for factors of -3 (c=x1·x2) that add to give +2 (b=-(x1+x2)). These are {-1, +3}, so the factorization is ...

... 2(x -1)(x +3) = 0

The roots are then 1 and -3, which sum to -b = -2.

(You will note that the numbers used in the binomial factors are the opposites of the roots x1 and x2 in the Viete's Formulas. That is how we can look for them to sum to "b", rather than "-b".)

How do I get this form?

Answers

Short answer: you don't.

The linear term in the numerator of the integral means the form shown is not applicable. Rather, you perform the integration using partial fraction expansion.

[tex]\displaystyle\int{\frac{5x+1}{25x^2+60x-13}}\,dx=\int{\frac{5x+1}{(5x-1)(5x+13)}}\,dx\\\\=\frac{1}{35}\int{\frac{5}{5x-1}}\,dx+\frac{6}{35}\int{\frac{5}{5x+13}}\,dx[/tex]

The integral is ...

... (1/35)ln|5x-1| +(6/35)ln|5x+13| +C

_____

If the numerator of your integral were a constant, then the fractions multiplying the separate partial fraction integrals would have the same magnitude and opposite signs. You would end with the difference of logarithms, which could be expressed as the log of a ratio as shown in your problem statement.

Two perpendicular lines have opposite y-intercepts. The equation of one of these lines is y = mx + b. Express the x-coordinate of the intersection point of the lines in terms of m and b.

Answers

Final answer:

The x-coordinate of the intersection point of two perpendicular lines, one with equation y = mx + b and the other with equation y = -x/m - b, is given by x = 2b/(m + 1/m).

Explanation:

Given two perpendicular lines, one has the equation y = mx + b. The y-intercept of this line is b, and the slope is m. The equation of the second line, which is perpendicular to the first, will have a negative reciprocal slope, -1/m, and for opposite y-intercepts, we'll assume its y-intercept to be -b. Thus the equation of the second line is y = -x/m - b.

For the intersection point, equal the y-values of the two equations: mx + b = -x/m - b. Simplify to obtain the x-coordinate of the intersection point:

mx + x/m = 2b or x(m + 1/m) = 2b. Therefore, the x-coordinate of the intersection point is x = 2b/(m + 1/m).

To find the x-coordinate of the intersection point of two perpendicular lines with opposite y-intercepts, set the equations of the lines equal to each other and solve for x.

Explanation:

To find the x-coordinate of the intersection point of two perpendicular lines with opposite y-intercepts, we need to find the equations of both lines. Let's assume the equation of one line is y = mx + b. Since the lines are perpendicular, the slope of the other line will be the negative reciprocal of m. Let's call the slope of the other line n. Therefore, the equation of the other line will be y = -nx + c, where c is the y-intercept of the second line. To find the x-coordinate of the intersection point, we can set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x:

mx + b = -nx + c

x(m + n) = c - b

here m =[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and (a,b) = (5 , - 3 )

y + 3 = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] (x - 5 ) ← in point-slope form


Final answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the point (5, -3) and has a slope of 2/3 is y = 2/3x - 19/3, using the point-slope form for the equation of a line.

Explanation:

The line that you're looking for can be represented using the point-slope form of a linear equation. This form is written as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) are the coordinates of a point on the line and 'm' is the slope of the line. For a line that passes through the point (5, -3) and has a slope of 2/3, you replace x1 with 5, y1 with -3, and m with 2/3. So, the equation of the line becomes y - (-3) = 2/3(x - 5), which simplifies to y + 3 = 2/3x - 10/3. Further simplifying, we get y = 2/3x - 10/3 - 3, or y = 2/3x - 19/3.
