the cost of a telephone call is 5 pesos for the first three minutes and an additional of 2 pesos for each additional minute or fractional part thereof. find the cost of all call lasting: a) .5 min, b) 3 minutes, and c) 5 minutes

c(t)=5+2(t-3), t>3 


a) c(0.5)=5
b) c(3)=5
c) c(5)=5+2(5-3)=5+2(2)=9

How do you use the intermediate value theorem to show the polynomial function that has a zero in the given. [1.3, 1.9], f(x)= x^5-x^4+3x^3-4x^2-16x +15

f(1.3)=-5.112 (approx.)
f(1.9)=2.465 (approx.)
the theorem tells us that since there is a sign change for f on the interval there must be a zero on the interval

if 1/2 of an integer is added to 1/4 to the next consecutive integer the sum is 22.find the integer.

n%2F2%2B%28n%2B1%29%2F4=22
multiplying by 4...
2n%2Bn%2B1=88
3n=87

n=29

√84 divided by 2√3

In ∆ABC, if the length of sides a, b, and c are 3.5 centimeters, 5.5 centimeters, and 6 centimeters respectively, what is m C to two decimal places?

law of cosines:

C=arccos(13/77)=80.28 degrees
