A rectangular coordinate system with coordinates in miles is placed with the origin at the center of Los Angeles. The figure indicates that the University of Southern California is located 2.4 miles west and 2.7 miles south of central Los Angeles. A seismograph on the campus shows that a small earthquake occurred. The quake's epicenter is estimated to be approximately 30 miles from the university. Write the standard form of the equation for the set of points that could be the epicenter of the quake.
A telephone company offers the following plans. Also given are the piecewise functions that model these plans. Use this information to solve. Plan \(A\) \(\cdot \$ 30\) per month buys 120 minutes. \(\cdot\) Additional time costs \(\$ 0.30\) per minute. $$C(t)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}30 & \text { if } 0 \leq t \leq 120 \\\30+0.30(t-120) & \text { if } t>120 \end{array}\right. $$ Plan \(B\) \(\cdot \ 40\) per month buys 200 minutes. \(\cdot\) Additional time costs \(\$ 0.30\) per minute. $$ C(t)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll} 40 & \text { if } 0 \leq t \leq 200 \\\ 40+0.30(t-200) & \text { if } t>200 \end{array}\right. $$ Simplify the algebraic expression in the second line of the piecewise function for plan A. Then use point-plotting to graph the function.
Given an equation in \(x\) and \(y,\) how do you determine if its graph is symmetric with respect to the origin?
You invested \(\$ 80,000\) in two accounts paying \(5 \%\) and \(7 \%\) annual interest. If the total interest earned for the year was \(\$ 5200,\) how much was invested at each rate? (Section \(\mathrm{P.8}\) Example 5 )
