A used car has a value of $15,250 when it is purchased in 2012. The value of the car decreases at a rate of 7.5% per year. Write

an exponential function that models the value of the car, y, over x years. To the nearest cent, what will be the value of the car after eight years?

7.5% is 3/40. The equation is y=15250(1-3/40)ˣ=15250(37/40)ˣ.
When x=8 this becomes $8173.42.

Abigail tosses a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The distance, in feet, the coin above the water is modeled by the equa

Answer:

7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of the coin above the water is modeled by the equation

$y=-16x^2+96x+112$

where $x$ is time taken to cover the distance

Now equating with zero.

$0=-16x^2+96x+112\\\Rightarrow 16x^2-96x-112=0\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-\left(-96\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-96\right)^2-4\times \:16\left(-112\right)}}{2\times \:16}\\\Rightarrow x=7, -1$

So, time taken by the coin to hit the water is 7 seconds.

Answer:

water

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparison of numbers can be done a couple of different ways. One way is to subtract one from the other. If the difference is positive, the minuend (first number) is the larger of the two.

Another way is to divide one number by the other. If the ratio is more than 1, then the numerator is the larger number.

For numbers in scientific notation, the division is perhaps the easiest. Here, that gives you ...

$\displaystyle\frac{\text{water mass}}{\text{oxygen mass}}=\frac{2.99\times10^{-26}\text{ kg}}{2.66\times10^{-26}\text{ kg}}=\frac{2.99}{2.66}\approx 1.12$

This value is greater than 1, so the mass of a water molecule is greater.

You will note that the multipliers (10^-26 kg) cancelled because they were equal. If they are unequal, the usual rules of exponents apply.
