The price of a train ticket consists of an initial fee plus a constant fee per stop. The table compares the number of stops and the price of a ticket (in dollars).
Stops. Price(dollars)
3. 6.50
7. 12.50
11. 18.50
What is the fee per stop?

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!
