Answer:
a. U(a) = 20000·0.9^a
b. about -$957 dollars per year
c. 13 years
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The age values are sequential, but the differences between "v" values are not constant. We suspect an exponential function. When we examine the ratios of adjacent table values, we find they are all 0.9, so the exponential function will be ...
U = (initial value)·(0.9^(age))
U(a) = 20000·0.9^a
__
b) The average rate of change for the one year between age 7 and age 8 will be U(8) -U(7). A calculator evaluates that difference as -$956.59, about -$957.
__
c) The car value drops by almost half in 6 years, so will drop by almost half of that in another 6 years. The car's age will be 12 or 13 years. A graph shows the age to be just over 13 years when the value is predicted to be $5000.
_____
A graphing calculator was used to evaluate the function and find the time associated with the given value. (See attached.) This is the "work" that was done to answer the questions.
The time to decrease to 1/4 of the original value can be found by solving ...
5000 = 25000·0.9^a
The solution is ...
a = log(.25)/log(0.9) ≈ 13.158 . . . . as found on the graph

Answer:
30 cans
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratios
15 cans x cans
---------------- = ------------------
7*2 people days 4*7 people days
Using cross products
15 * 28 = 14 * x
Divide by 14
15 * 28/14 = x
30 =x
Answer:
A = $4,926.80
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal
r = R/100
r = 8/100
r = 0.08 rate per year,
Then solve the equation for A
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
A = 1,000.00(1 + 0.08/12)(12)(20)
A = 1,000.00(1 + 0.006666667)(240)
A = $4,926.80
