someone help

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Let x = number of hours (after that initial hour) and y = total cost so if "A bike rental company charges $50 for the first hour, and $25 for each additional hour.", then y = 25x + 50 ----------------------- We're told that "Michael must spend no more than $200", so y <= 200 y <= 200 25x + 50 <= 200 25x <= 200-50 25x <= 150 x <= 150/25 x <= 6 So the max number of hours after that first hour is 6 Add on the first hour to get 6+1 = 7 So the max number of hours total he can rent the bike is 7 hours.

thank you!

mind helping me with another

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Another way to look at it First hour = $50 Second hour = 50 + 25 = 75 third hour = 50 + 25 + 25 = 100 etc etc til you get to seventh hour = 50 + 6*25 = 200

sure go for it

Mr. Harrow has eight boys and six girls in his Honors Precalculus class. If he randomly chooses two students, one at a time, what is the probability that they are both girls? A)11/14 B)15/91 C)15/98 D)74/91

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

P(2 girls) = P(girl and girl) P(2 girls) = P(girl) * P(girl) P(2 girls) = (6/14) * (5/13) P(2 girls) = 30/182 P(2 girls) = 15/91

thanks so much.

A line passes through the point (2, 3) and has a slope of -2. Which is the equation of the line in point-slope form? A) 2x + y = 7 B) y = -2x + 7 C) y - 3 = -2(x - 2) D) y = -1/2x + 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y - y1 = m(x - x1) y - y1 = -2(x - x1) ... plug in m = -2 y - 3 = -2(x - 2) ... plug in (x1,y1) = (2,3)

thanks so much

wait come back

what's wrong

There are 3 white marbles and 7 blue marbles in a bag. Jamie will randomly pick two marbles out of the bag without replacing the first marble chosen. What is the probability of Jamie's picking 2 white marbles? A)1/15 B)1/18 C)1/20 D)1/7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

P(2 white) = P(white and white) P(2 white) = P(white) * P(white) P(2 white) = (3/10) * (2/9) I'll let you finish.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/15?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

Which choice represents the best rational approximation for 11? A)1/2 B)11/5 C)17/7 D)5/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what even is a rational approximation? my teacher hasent even talked about this

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

11 or \(\sqrt{11}\) ???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

something is missing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3\[3\sqrt11\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not just 11, its 3 square root sign 11 ^^

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so it's \[\Large \sqrt[3]{11}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large \sqrt[3]{11} \approx 2.2239\] which is close to 2.2 2.2 = 2 + 0.2 2.2 = 2 + 1/5 2.2 = 10/5 + 1/5 2.2 = 11/5 So \[\Large \sqrt[3]{11} \approx \frac{11}{5}\]
