The value of a collector’s item is expected to increase exponentially each year. the item is purchased for $500. after 2 years,

the item is worth $551.25. which equation represents y, the value of the item after x years? y = 500(0.05)x y = 500(1.05)x y = 500(0.1025)x y = 500(1.1025)x

Answer:

y=500(1.05)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for an exponential equation is

y=a(b)^x

We have 2 unknowns, a and b, but that's all good because we have 2 (x, y) coordinates we can utilize in order to find a and b.  In our coordinate pair, x is the number of years gone by and y is the value after that number of years.  The problem tells us that an item was purchased for $500.  That translates to "before any time has gone by, the initial value of the item is $500".  In other words, with x being time, no time has gone by, so x = 0.  When x = 0, y = 500.  (0, 500).  Do the same for the next set of numbers.  When x = 2 years gone by, the value is $551.25, so the coordinate is (2, 551.25).  Now we use them to find a.  Use the first coordinate:

500=a(b)^0

Anything raised to the 0 power = 1, therefore:

500 = a(1) and a = 500.

Now onto the next coordinate point using the a value we just found:

551.25 = 500(b)^2

Divide both sides by 500 to get

1.1025=b^2

so b = 1.05.

Now we have the values for a and b, so we fill in:

y = 500(1.05)^x

<h3>What is an intersecting lines?</h3>

A link is known to be intersecting if two or more lines are said to have cross one another in a given plane.

Note that the intersecting lines are known to be one that often share a common point, and it is one that can be seen on all the intersecting lines, and it is known to be the point of intersection.

Looking at the image attached, you can see how plane A and line c intersecting at all points on line c and also GM and GH and line CD and plane X as they are not intersecting

The midpoint of (3 x, -2) and (-4, 5y) is (1,4). find x, -y​
Mariana [72]

Answer:

(x,-y): (2,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

M=(x+x)/2,(y+y)/2

Given (1,4)=

\frac{3x - 4}{2}

This implies:

1 =  \frac{3x - 4}{2}

3x - 4 = 2 \\ 3x = 2 + 4 \\  \frac{3x }{3}  =  \frac{6}{3}  \\ x = 2

In a similar way,

4 =  \frac{ - 2 + 5y}{2}  \\  - 2 + 5y = 8 \\ 5y = 10 \\ y = 2

The question demanded (x,-y)

Hence(2,-2) is the answer

Solve this equation 6(4.5y-12)=9
irinina [24]
6(4.5y - 12) = 9

(4.5y - 12) = 9/6

4.5y - 12 = 1.5

4.5y = 1.5 + 12

4.5y = 13.5

y = 13.5/4.5

y = 3
