As 13 hcf cost $36.18 and 39 hcf cost $76.48 and this form a linear equation thus coordinates are (13,36.18) and (39,76.48)
Slope of line =(76.48-36.18)/(39-13)
= 40.3/26
= 1.55
The line is form of
y=1.55x+c
Here (13,36.18) are point on this thus plug in this
36.18= 1.55*13+c
Gives, c= 36.18-20.15 = 16.03
The overall equation becames
y= 1.55x+16.03
For x= 36
y = 1.55*36+16.03
y= 71.83
Thus it cost $71.83 for 36 hcf of water

(13) Satterfield Pavement's marginal cost, in dollars, of paving a road with asphalt is given by C'(x)=x2 - 25x + 2200, for x < 20, where x is measured in hundreds of feet. Use 4 subintervals over [0.10] and the left endpoint of each subinterval to approximate the total cost of paving 1000 feet of road.
1)A linear cost function is C(x) = 6x + 450. (Assume C is measured in dollars.) (a) What are the slope and the C-intercept? slope C-intercept (b) What is the marginal cost MC ? MC= What does the marginal cost mean? Each additional unit produced costs this much (in dollars). If production is increased by this many units, the cost decreases by $1. Each additional unit produced reduces the cost by this much (in dollars). If production is increased...

Question 2 (4.2 points) In a certain city, the monthly water bill amount is normally distributed with mean 25 and standard deviation 15. A sample of 36 bills was selected. What is the probability that the average water bill amount for the sample was between 28.7 and 30? Write only a number as your answer. Round to 4 decimal places (for example 0.0048). Do not write as a percentage. Your Answer:

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. After 6 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 18.6 centimeters. After 21 hours of burning, its height is 12.6 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 13 hours?
