3. John and Evelyn each own a vehicle of the same model. John drove a total of
27,612 miles, while Evelyn drove 9,821 miles. Both had fixed costs totaling
$2,357.04. John's variable cost totaled $4,822.03, and Evelyn's totaled $589.26.

a. How much money did John spend to operate and maintain his vehicle on a
cost-per-mile basis?

b. How much did Evelyn spend per mile?

a. $0.26/mile

b.$0.30/mile

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given John's Fixed cost as $2357.04 and variable cost as $4822.03, miles driven as 27612 miles. his cost per mile can be calculated as:

Hence, John's cost per mile is $0.26

b. Given Evelyn's Fixed cost as $2357.04 and variable cost as $589.26, miles driven as 9821 miles. his cost per mile can be calculated as:

Hence, Evelyn's cost per mile is $0.30

(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

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
