The function Y=4.75+2.20(X-1) can be used to determine the cost in dollars for a taxi ride in Houston, TX. What is the rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles?

2.20 dollars/mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:

y = 4.75 + 2.20(x-1)

Before we get the rate of change of the cost, we need to write the expression in the form y = mx+c where;

m is the rate of change of the cost

From the function given:

y = 4.75 + 2.20(x-1)

Open the parenthesis

y = 4.75 + 2.20x -2.20

y = 2.20x + 2.55

On comparing with the standard

m = 2.20

Hence the rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles is 2.20 dollars/mile

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
