An uber fare in san diego is $3.50 for the first ½ mile and additional mileage charged at a rate of $0.30 for each additional 0.1 mile. you plan to give the driver a $2 tip. how many miles can you ride for $15? show or explain your calculations.

3.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For a trip of x miles, there are x-0.5 miles of it that are "additional", which makes (x-0.5)/0.1 additional tenths.

Then the charges (in dollars) are ...

... 3.50 + 0.30(x -0.5)/0.1

Adding a tip of $2 and requiring the total be less than $15 gives ...

... 3.50 + 0.30(x -0.5) + 2.00 ≤ 15.00

... 5.50 + 3(x - 0.5) ≤ 15.00 . . . . simplify a bit

... 4.00 +3x ≤ 15.00 . . . . . . . . . . simplify more

... 3x ≤ 11.00 . . . . . . subtract 4.00

... x ≤ 3.667 . . . . . . divide by 3

Miles are measured in tenths. We cannot go 3.7 miles on $15, but we can go 3.6 miles.

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
