a Explanation Given: The hybrid and non-hybrid cost of the car is $30,000 and $25,000. Average fuel economy of hybrid and non-hybrid car is 48 mi/gal and 30 mi/gal. The tax credit received by the costumer on the purchase of hybrid is $1500. The amount discount on auto insurance is $500. The average fuel cost is $2.60 per gallon. Calculation: Compute the fuel cost as follows. fuel cost = 120,000 mi × 1 gal 30 mi × $ 2 b To determine The comparative cost of the non-hybrid. c To determine The total cost for the hybrid car for 120,000 miles d To determine The comparative cost of the hybrid. e To determine The vehicle that the customer choose to buy.

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
