Every year, a car loses 15% of the value it had the year before. If the car's initial value is $ 24,000, then how long will it t

ella [17]

Answer:

4.62 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Half the car's value =>$24,000/2 = $12,000

The formula for exponential decrease =

y = a(1 - r)^t

y = Initial value = $24,000

a = Value after time t = $12,000

r = Decrease rate = 15% = 0.15

t = time in years =??

Hence,

24,000 = 12000 ( 1 - 0.15)^t

Divide both sides by 12000

24000/12000 = 12000 ( 0.85)^t/ 12000

2 = 0.85^t

We take the logarithm of both sides

log 2 = log (0.85)^t

log 2 = t log 0.85

Divide both sides by log 0.85

t = log 2/log 0.85

t = 4.62098120373 years

Approximately = 4.62 years

It would take 4.62 years to be worth half the initial price

Divide the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write answer in descending powers of

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Let's rewrite the given expression correctly:
(2y3 + 3y2 - 4y - 5) / (y + 1)
Dividing the expression between y + 1 we have:
2y2 + y - 5
We can check the result:
(2y2 + y - 5) * (y + 1)
= (2y3 + y2 - 5y + 2y2 + y - 5)
= (2y3 + 3y2 - 4y - 5)
Division OK.
Answer:
The result of the division is:
2y2 + y - 5

How do you use the distance formula and slope formula to classify a triangle

Sergio039 [100]

see the distance formula to find the length of the sides...
opposite sides equal it could be a rectangle or parallelogram
all sides equal, square or rhombus
adjacent equal, kite
and then the slope is used to check angles
if the product of the 2 lines in -1 the lines are perpendicular (right angle)
the the slopes of 2 lines are the same the sides are parallel.
hope it helps

I will give brainiest to whom answers correct and the fastest and a thanks

german

Answer:

(D) The bottom graph, and (A) The top table.

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to pick out the wrong answers is simply through substitution. Substitute the input into the x part of the equation that is given and if it doesn't match up with y everytime, then it is incorrect.

From table A (top table), the input x can be substituted into y = x + 2 which will come out as the output so it is correct.

For table A:

x = -3 → y = x + 2 → y = (-3) + 2 → y = -1 = -1

x = -2 → y = x + 2 → y = (-2) + 2 → y = 0 = 0

x = -1 → y = x + 2 → y = (-1) + 2 → y = 1 = 1

x = 0 → y = x + 2 → y = (0) + 2 → y = 2 = 2

x = 1 → y = x + 2 → y = (1) + 2 → y = 3 = 3

Since the table matches up with the inputs and outputs of the table, it is a correct answer.

For table B:

x = 3 → y = x + 2 → y = (3) + 2 → y = 5 = 5

x = 4 → y = x + 2 → y = (4) + 2 → y = 6 ≠ 7

x = 5 → y = x + 2 → y = (5) + 2 → y = 7 ≠ 9

x = 6 → y = x + 2 → y = (6) + 2 → y = 8 ≠ 11

x = 7 → y = x + 2 → y = (7) + 2 → y = 9 ≠ 13

5 out of the 6 y values of the table do not match the equation, so table B must be incorrect.

Graph C:

Notice how you can see the line cross the x, and y axis. When the line crosses the x axis, it is an x intercept which means y is 0. When the line crosses the y axis, it is a y intercept which means x is 0.

Since the line crosses the y axis at 2, this means that an x of 0 must lead to a y of 2 which it does.

x = 0 → y = x + 2 → y = (0) + 2 → y = 2 = 2.

But the x intercept doesn't match up as shown here.

y = 0 → y = x + 2 → (0) = x + 2 →

0 – 2 = x + 2 – 2 → -2 = x → x = -2 ≠ -1

When graphing the line y = x + 2, it's x intercept should be (-2,0). While on this graph, it's (-1,0). This means that this graph is incorrect which leads to D being another correct answer.

✓ Table A: y = x + 2

× Table B: y = 2x – 1

× Graph C: y = 2x + 2

✓ Graph D: y = x + 2
