11. The monthly charge for a waste collection service is $28 for 100 kg of waste and is $45 for 180 kg of waste. a) Find a linear formula for the cost, C, of waste collection as a function of the number of kilograms of waste, w. b) What is the slope of the line found in part (a)? Give units and interpret your answer in terms of the cost of waste collection. c) What is the vertical intercept of the line found in part (a)? Give units with your answer and interpret it in terms of the cost of waste collection.
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
