A cab company charges a flat fee of $2.00 plus a rate per mile. For instance, the cost for a 50 mile ride is $14.50. Let D be the miles traveled and C is the cost of the cab ride. Complete the equation for the relationship between the cost and the number of miles.

C = 2 + 0.25 D

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The cost of the cab ride (C), must be equal to the fixed fee (2) plus the product of the charge per mile (x) and the number of miles traveled (D)

C= 2 + Dx

Since the cost for a 50 mile ride is $14.50:

14.50 =2 + 50x

Solving for x:

14.50-2 = 50x

12.50 =50x

12.50/50 = x

0.25 = x

The cab company charges $0.25 per mile.

Back with the original equation:

C = 2 + 0.25 D

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
