For two months, Milan used the same landscaping maintenance company. The company had a fixed reservation rate per month, plus an hourly rate for the amount of time that is spent on landscaping work. Milan received two bills from the landscaping company. The first bill was $120.75 for 2.75 hours of
landscaping work and the second bill was $160.50 for 5.25 hours of landscaping work. Find the equation of the line that represents the landscaping company's fixed reservation rate and charge per hour. Round to the nearest cent, if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line that represents the landscaping company's fixed reservation rate and charge per hour is y=15.9x+77.025

Step-by-step explanation:

The first bill amount for 2.75 hours of  landscaping work = $120.75

The second bill amount for 5.25 hours of  landscaping work = $160.50

No we are supposed to find the equation of the line that represents the landscaping company's fixed reservation rate and charge per hour

So, we will us two point slope form to find the equation:

Formula : [tex]y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1)=(2.75,120.75)\\(x_2,y_2)=(5.25,160.50)[/tex]

Substitute the values in the formula

[tex]y-120.75=\frac{160.50-120.75}{5.25-2.75}(x-2.75)\\y=15.9x+77.025[/tex]

Hence  the equation of the line that represents the landscaping company's fixed reservation rate and charge per hour is y=15.9x+77.025

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. The addition of the opposite of 2 1/2 to the sum of 1.25 and (−1 3/4) is -3.

What is a Fraction?

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.

What is a Mixed Fraction?

A mixed fraction is a fraction that contains a whole number and a fraction whose denominator is greater than the numerator. A mixed fraction can be converted as,

2 1/2

= (2×2 + 1)/2

= 5/2

= 2.5

The sum of 1.25 and (−1 3/4) can be done as,

1.25 + (−1 3/4)

= 1.25 - 1.75

= -0.5

The opposite of 2 1/2 is -2 1/2, therefore, the addition of the opposite of 2 1/2 to the sum of 1.25 and (−1 3/4) is,

-0.5 + (-2 1/2)

= -0.5 - 2.5

= -3

Hence, the addition of the opposite of 2 1/2 to the sum of 1.25 and (−1 3/4) is -3.

Answers

Answer:

General solution is

 [tex]x = n \pi + \frac{\pi }{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given  cos x - sin x = √2 cos (3 x)

Dividing '√2' on both sides , we get

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } cos (x) - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } sin (x) = \frac{\sqrt{2} cos (3 x)}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

we will use trigonometry formulas

a) Cos ( A + B) = Cos A Cos B - sin A sin B

b)  [tex]cos \frac{\pi }{4} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

Step(ii):-

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } cos (x) - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } sin (x) = \frac{\sqrt{2} cos (3 x)}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

[tex]cos (\frac{\pi }{4} ) cos x - sin(\frac{\pi }{4} ) sin x = cos 3x[/tex]

[tex]cos (\frac{\pi }{4}+x ) = cos 3 x[/tex]

Step(iii):-

Answers

Answer:

Here it is given that f(x)=3x and g(x)=1/x

We have to find the domain of (g o f)(x)

Now it is given that f(x) = 3x

and it is also given that g(x) = 1/x

so (g o f)(x) = g( f(x) ) = g( 3x )

which comes out to be 1 / 3x

The domain of the expression is all the real numbers except where the expression is undefined so the domain of the given expression is all real numbers except 0.

The domain of a function is the set of input values the function can take.

The domain of the function is (b).all real numbers except x = 0

The functions are given as:

[tex]\mathbf{f(x) = 3x}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{g(x) = \frac 1x}[/tex]

Calculate (gºf)(x) as follows:

[tex]\mathbf{(g\ o\ f)(x) = g(f(x))}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{(g\ o\ f)(x) = \frac{1}{f(x)}}[/tex]

Substitute 3x for f(x)

[tex]\mathbf{(g\ o\ f)(x) = \frac{1}{3x}}[/tex]

For the above function to have a real value, the value of  x must not be 0.

Hence, the domain of the function is (b).

Fred the ant is on the real number line, and Fred is trying to get to the point 0. If Fred is at 1, then on the next step, Fred moves to either 0 or 2 with equal probability. If Fred is at 2, then on the next step, Fred always moves to 1. Let e_1 be expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0, given that Fred starts at the point 1. Similarly, let e_2 be expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0, given that Fred starts at the point 2. Determine the ordered pair (e_1,e_2). Answer is NOT (2, 3)

Answers

Answer:

The ordered pair (e₁, e₂) is (6, 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the pathway attached below.

Consider that Fred is at 1.

It is provided that Fred moves to either 0 or 2 with equal probability, i.e. 0.50.

    e₁ :    1              3             5              7        ...

P (e₁) : 0.50       0.50²      0.50³       0.50⁴   ...

The expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0 if he is at 1 is:

[tex]e_{1}=(1\times 0.50)+(3\times 0.50^{2})+(5\times 0.50^{3})+(7\times 0.50^{4})+...\\\\[/tex]

The sum series e₁ is an AGP.

The sum of infinite AGP is:[tex]\frac{a}{1-r}+\frac{dr}{(1-r)^{2}}[/tex]

Then the value of e₁ is:

[tex]e_{1}=\frac{1}{(1-0.50)}+\frac{2\times 0.50}{(1-0.50)^{2}}\\\\=2+4\\\\=6[/tex]

Consider that Fred is at 2.

It is provided that Fred always moves to 1 if he at step 2.

    e₂ :    2             4             6              8        ...

P (e₂) : 0.50       0.50²      0.50³       0.50⁴   ...

The expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0 if he is at 2 is:

[tex]e_{2}=(2\times 0.50)+(4\times 0.50^{2})+(6\times 0.50^{3})+(8\times 0.50^{4})+...\\\\[/tex]

The sum series e₂ is an AGP.

The sum of infinite AGP is:[tex]\frac{a}{1-r}+\frac{dr}{(1-r)^{2}}[/tex]

Then the value of e₂ is:

[tex]e_{1}=\frac{2}{(1-0.50)}+\frac{2\times 0.50}{(1-0.50)^{2}}\\\\=4+4\\\\=8[/tex]

Thus, the ordered pair (e₁, e₂) is (6, 8).

Answer:

(3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

For e_1, there is first a 1/2 chance that Fred will go to point 0 on the first move, giving us an expected value of 1/2. Similarily, there is 1/4 chance that Fred will go to point 0 on the 3rd move, giving us an expected value of 3/4th moves. We continue, and we see that the expected value for the number of moves is this.

[tex]1/2 + 3/4 + 5/8 + 7/16 + 9/32 + 11/64 ...[/tex]

This equation eventually equals to 3, so e_1 is equal to 3.

For e_2, it's just e_1 + 1, because Fred has to move to point 1 in the first place.

Using Distance Formula to Find the lengths

Distance Formula = [tex]\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}[/tex]

Length XY:

=> [tex]\sqrt{(-3+3)^2+(1-6)^2}[/tex]

=> [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex]

=> 5 units

Length YZ:

=> [tex]\sqrt{(5+3)^2+(1-1)^2}[/tex]

=> [tex]\sqrt{64}[/tex]

=> 8 units

Length ZX:

=> [tex]\sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(6-1)^2}[/tex]

=> [tex]\sqrt{89}[/tex]

=> 9.4

Perimeter:

=> 5+8+9.4

=> 22.4

Semi-Perimeter:

=> 11.2

Using Heron's Formula to find the area:

Area = [tex]\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]

Where s is semi perimeter and a,b and c are side lengths

=> Area = [tex]\sqrt{11.2(11.2-5)(11.2-8)(11.2-9.4)}[/tex]

=> Area = [tex]\sqrt{(11.2)(6.2)(3.2)(1.8)}[/tex]

=> Area = [tex]\sqrt{399.9}[/tex]

=> Area = 19.99

=> Area ≈ 20 square units

(Economics)---About 60% of all the food consumed in America has a bee connection. Without bees, the country would lose about $20 billion in crops almonds, citrus fruits, pears, cucumbers and apples that are not self pollinating. However, bee numbers are declining fast by about 50% in six months. The varroa mite, a bee parasite first found in the country of Indonesia a century ago and spread to America in 1987. It sucks the blood of bees and now pesticides cant even kill them. The steady loss of bees has especially hurt the Californian almond industry, which accounts for 88% of the worlds almond crop. Farmers think that yields may fall by as much as 16%. As a result almond prices are soaring to over $3 per pound, an unprecedented level. That may be good news for almond growers but it is causing confectionery (people who bake sweets) producers to switch to hazelnuts. The Central Valley of California has the perfect climate for almond trees, but they need a lot of help. So, every year, the valley hosts the largest controlled pollination in the world. There are about 6,500 almond farms in the Central Valley and they produce 50 to 80 percent of the worlds almonds. There arent nearly enough local bees, wild or domesticated, to pollinate all those flowers, so when the almond trees start to bloom, beekeepers from all over the country descend on the Central Valley. You can see the trucks coming from out of state. They come from as far as Florida, because its their bread and butter, says beekeeper Rosemary Grissom. In all, more than 1,500 beekeepers make the trip, and they bring billions of bees with them. When the almonds finish blooming, some of these beekeepers will take their hives on to pollinate other crops cherries in Washington State, squash in Texas, cranberries in Wisconsin. Grissom says a lot of people assume that beekeepers make a living from honey, but renting out their bees to farmers is how most of them pay the bills. In February, when a lot of winter rain sent the California almond crop into bloom, almond farmer Joe Del Bosque rented about 1,500 hives from Grissom for $180 dollars apiece. Recently, beekeepers like Grissom have been struggling to cope with the widely reported, but still mysterious, phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder, which has devastated bee populations throughout the country. Scientists say disease and parasites have weakened hives, and recent studies have linked bee decline to the use of pesticides called neonicotinoids. For her part, Grissom says she just has to plan for the worst and create extra hives. We just make more bees, she says. Last year, instead of making 500 new ones we made 800, because you dont know how many youre going to lose in the winter. And then sometimes that doesnt even cover it. So far this year Grissoms bees are doing pretty well. After the almond bloom ends, shell take them over to pollinate Del Bosques melons. As for Del Bosque, hes going to keep on growing almonds. Prices are low right now, but theyre still a lucrative crop that hes invested a lot of money into. But the future is less certain. Almonds need a lot of water and a lot of bees, and right now both are in short supply. Supply and Demand Questions: How is the declining bee population affecting the price of almonds? What are almond farmers in Central Valley doing to pollinate their 6,500 almond farms, and how have declining bee populations affected to price and demand of bees for bee keepers? How and why has the declining bee populations affected the demand and price of hazelnuts? When moving to a new apartment, you rent a truck and create a ramp with a 244 cm long piece of plywood.
