A business uses straight-line depreciation to determine the value y of an automobile over a 5-year period. Suppose the original

value (when t=0) is equal to $14,500 and the salvage value (when t=5) is equal to $4,000.
a) By how much has the automobile depreciated over the 5 years?
b) By how much is the value of the automobile reduced at the end of each of the 5 years?
c) Write the linear equation that models the value s of this automobile at the end of year t.

For this problem. it is found that:

a) The automobile has depreciated 75% in 5 years.

b) The value of the automobile was reduced by $10,500 in five years.

c) The linear function is: s(t) = 14,500 - 2,100t.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = ax + b

In which:

  • a is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

From the problem, we have that:

a) The automobile has depreciated 75% in 5 years, as 4000/14500 = 0.25, and 100% - 25% = 75%.

b) The value of the automobile was reduced by $10,500 in five years, as 14500 - 4000 = $10,500.

For the linear function, we have that:

  • The initial value is b = 14500.
  • The slope is of a = -10500/5 = -2100.

Hence the linear function is: s(t) = 14,500 - 2,100t.

I need help solving this problem. <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4x%20cos%20%5E%7B-1%7D%20%282x%2B4%29-%20%5Csqrt%7B3-3%20x%5
Gnesinka [82]
Given:
f(x)=4xcos^{-1}(2x+4)-\sqrt{3-3x^2}

Using
\frac{d}{dx}cos^{-1}(x)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}
we derive
\frac{d}{dx}4xcos^{-1}(2x+4)
=4cos^{-1}(2x+4)-\frac{8x}{\sqrt{1-(2x+4)^2}}

Similarly, using
\frac{d}{dx}\sqrt{x}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}
we derive
\frac{d}{dx}(-\sqrt{3-3x^2})
=\frac{3x}{\sqrt{3-3x^2}}

Therefore, the derivative is
f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(4xcos^{-1}(2x+4)-\sqrt{3-3x^2})
=4cos^{-1}(2x+4)-\frac{8x}{\sqrt{1-(2x+4)^2}}+\frac{3x}{\sqrt{3-3x^2}}

Given the system of constraints, name all vertices of the feasible region. Then find the maximum value of the given object funct
Dmitrij [34]
Refer to the figure shown below.

The feasible region that satisfies all the constraints is the shaded region.
The bounding vertices are
A (0, 3)
B (0, 0)
C (5, 0)
D (1.5, 3.5)

All the functions that define the constraints are either linear or constant.
The maximum value is at vertex D, and equal to 3.5.

2.67 repeating as a fraction in simplified
maksim [4K]

Answer:

2.\overline {67}=\frac{265}{99}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2.\overline {67}

Let

x=2.\overline {67}

x=2.676767...

100x=100(2.676767...)

100x=267.6767...

100x=265+2.6767...

100x=265+x

99x=265

x=\frac{265}{99}

Therefore,

  • 2.\overline {67}=\frac{265}{99}
