The longest side of a right triangle is hypotenuse
Equation at the end of step1: (7x + 18) (4) - 4x = 0 2 STEP2:Equation at the end of step 2 2 • (7x + 18) - 4x = 0 STEP3:STEP4:Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
10x + 36 = 2 • (5x + 18)
Equation at the end of step4: 2 • (5x + 18) = 0 STEP5:Equations which are never true:
5.1 Solve : 2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
5.2 Solve : 5x+18 = 0
Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation :
5x = -18
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = -18/5 = -3.600
Answer:
Option D (r(t) = 3.50t +25
; r(8) = 53)
Step-by-step explanation:
The fixed cost to rent the kayak $25. This is the cost which remains fixed irrespective of the usage of the kayak. The variable cost of using the kayak is the cost which depends on the usage of the kayak. It is mentioned that the kayak is used for 4 hours and the company charges $3.5 for every half hour. The cost function is given by:
r(t) = 25 + 3.5t ; there r is the total cost of using the kayak and t is the number of half-hours the kayak is used.
4 hours means that there are 8 half-hours. Therefore, t=8. Put t=8 in r(t).
r(8) = 25 + 3.5*(8) = 25 + 28 = 53.
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer!!!
