Blue Star is starting a new distribution service that delivers auto parts to the service departments of auto dealerships in the local area. Blue Star has found two light-duty trucks that would do the job well, so now it needs to pick one to perform this new service. The Ford TriVan costs $28,000 to buy and uses regular unleaded gasoline, with an average fuel efficiency of 24 miles per gallon. The TriVan has an operating cost of $.20 per mile. The Honda CityVan, a hybrid truck, costs $32,000 to buy and uses regular unleaded gasoline and battery power; it gets an average of 37 miles per gallon. The CityVan has an operating cost of $.22 per mile. The distance traveled annually is estimated to be 22,000 miles, with the life of either truck expected to be 8 years. The average gas price is $4.25 per gallon.

Required:
a. Based on life cycle cost, which model truck is the best choice?
b. How many miles does Blue Star need to put on a truck for the costs to be equal?
c. What is the crossover point in years?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Blue Star

a.                                   The Ford TriVan   The Honda CityVan

Total life-cycle costs          $94,368                $90,936

Based on life cycle cost, the Honda CityVan is the best choice.

b. Blue Star needs to put on the Ford TriVan 9,032 miles more for the cost to be equal with the Honda CityVan's.

c. The crossover point in years = 5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                        The Ford TriVan   The Honda CityVan

Purchase costs                  $28,000                 $32,000

Fuel efficiency per gallon   24 miles                 37 miles

Operating cost per mile     $0.20                     $0.22

Total operating costs         $4,400                   $4,840

Estimated annual distance 22,000 miles        22,000 miles

Gallons of fuel consumed  916.7 (22,000/24) 594.6 (22,000/37)

Total cost of fuel                 $3,896                  $2,527

Fuel cost per mile              $0.18                      $0.115

Total cost per mile             $0.38                     $0.335

Expected life of truck         8 years                   8 years

Average gas price = $4.25 per gallon

Total costs:

                                        The Ford TriVan   The Honda CityVan

Annual costs:

Total operating costs         $4,400                   $4,840

Total cost of fuel                $3,896                   $2,527

Annual costs                      $8,296                   $7,367

Life cycle costs:

Annual costs for 8 years   $66,368                $58,936

Purchase costs                  $28,000                $32,000

Total life-cycle costs          $94,368                $90,936

Difference in costs between Ford TriVan and Honda CityVan = $3,432 ($94,368 - $90,936)

Miles to put on the Ford TriVan for the life cycle cost to be equal to the life cycle cost of the Honda CityVan

= Difference in costs divided by total cost per mile of the Ford TriVan

= 9,032 miles ($3,432/$0.38)

Annual distance = 22,000 miles

Monthly distance = 1,833 miles

9,032/1,833 = 4.93 months or 5 months approximately

Answers

Answer:

$31.42-(2.32+1.65)

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, an equation is a statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, which are connected by the equals sign "=". The word equation and its cognates in other languages may have subtly different meanings; for example, while in English, any equality is an equation. Solving an equation containing variables consists of determining which values of the variables make the equality true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

f(x) = -4(x - 3)² + 1

A). Negative sign of the coefficient (-4) tells that the parabola opens downwards.

    And 4 represents that the parent function is stretched vertically by 4 units.

B). By comparing this equation with the vertex form of the quadratic function,

    f(x) = a(x - h)² + k  

    Here, (h, k) is the vertex of parabola.

    Vertex of the given parabola → (3, 1)

C). Axis of symmetry → x = 3

D). Domain of the given quadratic function → (-∞, ∞)

     Range of the given function → (-∞, 1)

Terrell got 1 3/4 pounds of ground meat and 2 1/6 of ground chicken. he used 1 2/3 pounds of ground chicken to make a casserole. how much ground chicken did he have left?​

Answers

Answer:

Okay so we have to solve this in separate parts. Like so, its wiill go like this: 2+ 1/6 - 1 - 2/3. So we see that we have 2 and 1 as whole. Subtract 2 - 1 is 1 right. Now for fractional part 1/6 - 2/3. Since its uneven, we have to find the LCD which is 6. This forms of our fractions into 1/6- 4/6. 1/6 - 4/6 is 3/6. simplify it would result in 1/2.  The amount of ground chicken that Terrell has left is 1/2.

Ques- Explain the concept of maximum value function.​

Answers

Maximum means upper bound or largest possible quantity. The absolute maximum of a function is the largest number contained in the range of the function. That is, if f(a) is greater than or equal to f(x), for all x in the domain of the function, then f(a) is the absolute maximum. For example, the function f(x) = -16x2 + 32x + 6 has a maximum value of 22 occurring at x = 1. Every value of x produces a value of the function that is less than or equal to 22, hence, 22 is an absolute maximum. In terms of its graph, the absolute maximum of a function is the value of the function that corresponds to the highest point on the graph.

Bailey makes a conjecture that the product of two odd integers is always an odd integer. Which choice is the best proof of her conjecture

Answers

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (2a+1) be an odd number, and let (2b+1) be another odd number. The product 2(2ab+a+b)+1 is a multiple of 2 plus 1, which is an odd number.

1.Write the expression in expanded form. The subscript number can be write in
normal form. E.g. X1 + X1Y1, do not forget the correct parenthesis and the correct
order. *



2.For the equation in above evaluate the notation using the values below. Please

X1 =0
Y1 = 5
Z1 = 0
X2 = 1
Y2 = 26
Z2 = -2
X3 = 12
Y3 = -2
Z3 = 3
X4 = -1
Y4 = 25
Z4 = 24​

Answers

Answer:

(a) Expanded form:

[tex]((X_1 + X_1Y_1) - X_1Z_1) + ((X_2 + X_2Y_2) - X_2Z_2) + ((X_3 + X_3Y_3) - X_3Z_3) + ((X_4 + X_4Y_4) - X_4Z_4)[/tex]

(b) The value of the expression: -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\sum \limit^4_{i=1}\ ((X_i+X_iY_i) - X_iZ_i)[/tex]

Solving (a): The expanded form:

This means that we substitute the values of i from 1 to 4 in the above expression.

So, the expression becomes:

[tex]((X_1 + X_1Y_1) - X_1Z_1) + ((X_2 + X_2Y_2) - X_2Z_2) + ((X_3 + X_3Y_3) - X_3Z_3) + ((X_4 + X_4Y_4) - X_4Z_4)[/tex]

Solving (b): The value of the expression

To do this, we simply substitute the given values of X1, X2....... in the expression.

This gives:

So, the expression becomes:

[tex]((0 + 0*5) - 0*0) + ((1 + 1*26) - 1*-2) + ((12 + 12*-2) - 12*3) + ((-1 + -1*25) - -1*24)[/tex]

Simplify each bracket

[tex]((0 + 0) - 0) + ((1 + 26) +2) + ((12 -24) - 36) + ((-1 -25) +24)[/tex]

[tex]0 + 29 -48 -2[/tex]

[tex]-21[/tex]

Hence, the result of the expression is -21
