i hate these things


f(n) = (1/4)n + (1/36)n * 2
f(n) = (9/36)n + (2/36)n
f(n) = (11/36)n
f(18)=(11/36)18
f(18)= 5.5 hours

18km @ 4km/hr = 4.5 hours
36km @ 36km/hr = 1 hour
4.5 + 1 = 5.5

right ?

back of the book says

11n/36 = t

is it right? it has been a while. what i tried was.....

(walk time) + (bus time) = total time

Walk time = Nkm * 1hr/4km (the km cross each other out and you are left with hours)

bus time = 2nkm * 1hr/36km

leads you to
n/4 + 2n/36= t
or
n/4 + n/18=t

common denominator.......

18n/72 + 4n/72=t

22n/72=t

11n/36=t

i would try that out before usign it (make n = a random number and see if it works out)

18*(11/36)
18*.3055555555555555555555555 etc
5.5


(18*11)/36
198/36
5.5

1.a store owner bought n dozen toy boats at a cost of $3.00 per dozen and sold them for .75 apiece. Express the profit P in dollars as a fucntion of n


2.the height of a cylinder is twice the diameter. express the total surface area A as a function of height h


thanks guys this helps alot i need to study for a exam later this week and this shit is most of the stuff on it
