The depreciating value of a semi-truck can be modeled by y = Ao(0.85)x, where y is the remaining value of the semi, x is the tim

e in years, and it depreciates at 15% per year. An exponential function comes down from the positive infinity and passes through the points zero comma seventy-five thousand. The graph is approaching the x-axis. What is the value of the truck initially, Ao, and how would the graph change if the initial value was only $65,000?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the  depreciating value of a semi-truck can be modeled by

y = Ao(0.85)^x

Since it crosses (0,75000) we find that when x =0 y = 75000

Substitute to get

A_0 = 75000

So equation would be

y = 75000(0.85)^x

If initial value is changed to 65000, the y intercept would be shifted down to

65000.  The whole curve would be a bit vertical down than the previous curve.

We are given the equation
y = Ao (0.85)^x

Initially, at x = 0, the value of y is
y = Ao (0.85)^0
y = Ao

If the initial value was $65,000 at the same rate of depreciation, the equation would be
y = 65000 (0.85)^x

Two similar prisms have heights 4 cm and 10cm what is the ratio of their surface areas
Slav-nsk [51]
Let k be the scale factor relating two similar prisms P_{1} and P_{2}, such that for corresponding parts of prisms P_{1} and P_{2} (for heights, in particular) we have k= \frac{height\  of \ P_{1} }{height \ of\  P_{2} }. In our case k= \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}.
For surfaces area we have \frac{Surface \ area \ of \  P_{1} }{Surface \ area \ of \  P_{2}} = k^{2} =( \frac{2}{5} )^{2}= \frac{4}{25}.
So, the right answer is 4:25 (choice B)

What does dimensions of the entire figure mean
Sveta_85 [38]
I'm assuming the dimensions are like the measures of whatever the figure is. Volume, length,width,height,circumference,radius,diameter,area,perimeter,etc. whatever you are working with, that will help you find the dimensions of the figure:)
