Hey there!

When the value of something goes down over time- a house, a car, anything- it's called depreciation. 

It would be expressed as exponential decay. This is because the value is going down exponentially as stated in the problem. Additionally, when it decays, the growth factor is less than one, so the value steadily decreases.

Let's rule out our other options:

B) Half-Life. This doesn't work because it's usually used for radioactive decay, which is usually a steady decrease of radioactivity and material that divides by two, hence the word half. For example:

Day 0) Started with 10 grams of plutonium
Day 1) 5 grams
Day 2) 2.5 grams

And so on.

C) Compound Interest. Like simple interest, but compunds usually at a certain point - yearly, monthly, every ten years, and so on. But, this is used for interest, mostly in a bank account or if you have a loan. It doesn't exhibit depreciation, and therefore it's not used to predict car value.

D) Exponential Growth- Exponential growth does not work for one main reason - it grows. That would mean that the value of the car goes up- and unless it's an old and very expensive car, that wouldn't be the case.

Hope this helps!

Suppose that the function f(x)=3x+10 represents the cost to rent a movie for a month. Kim has $15. How many more dollars does sh
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

$19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Cost of movie

f(x)=3x+10

Hence the cost of 8 movies is

f(x)=3(8)+10

f(x)=24+10

f(x)=$34

Hence the cost of 8 movies is $34, Kim needs extra

=34-15

=$19

What value of x makes the function {(1,5), (x,8), (-7,9)} a function?
mestny [16]
X can be anything you want as long as it is not 1 or -7. If you have repeated x values with different y values, then it won't be a function.

Aleks [24]
Hello there! An equation that can be used to find the total cost of the banquet is this:

225 + 50h + 25p = c

This is because "c" represents the total cost of everything, "h" represents hours, and "p" represents people. The $225 paid to rent a hall is a one-time price and does not go up. $50 is paid per hour to the DJ, and $25 is the amount per person for dinner.

Use the real zeros to factor f x^4 plus 10^3 minus 20x^2 minus 90x plus 99
Furkat [3]

Answer:

f(x) = (x + 11) (x + 3) (x − 1) (x − 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x⁴ + 10x³ − 20x² − 90x + 99

f(x) is a fourth order polynomial, so it has 4 roots.  Use rational root theorem to find possible rational roots.

±99, ±11, ±9, ±3, ±1

By trial and error, the zeros are -11, -3, 1, and 3.

f(x) = (x + 11) (x + 3) (x − 1) (x − 3)
