The value of a car after t years can be found using the formula V = C(1 - r)t, where V is the current value of the car, C is the

original price of the car, and r is the rate of depreciation. Solve the formula for r . Raj bought a car 4.5 years ago for $25,000, and the current value of the car is $12,000. At what percentage rate has the car depreciated? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

The given formula is
V = C(1-r)^{t}

Therefore
(1-r)^{t} =  \frac{V}{C} \\\\ 1-r = ( \frac{V}{C} )^{1/t} \\\\ r = 1 - ( \frac{V}{C} )^{1/t}

Given:
C = $25,000
V = $12,000
t = 4.5 years

C/V = 0.48
1/t = 0.2222
Therefore
r = 1 - 0.48^{0.2222} = 0.1505 = 15.05\%

Answer: 15% (nearest integer)

Find the solution to the system of equations below.<br> 2y = 2x - 8<br> 2x + y = 5
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The solution to the system of equations is:

  • (x, y) = (3, -1)

The graph is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

2y = 2x - 8

2x + y = 5

Let us solve the system of equations using the elimination method

\begin{bmatrix}2y=2x-8\\ 2x+y=5\end{bmatrix}

Arrange equation variables for elimination

\begin{bmatrix}2y-2x=-8\\ y+2x=5\end{bmatrix}

Multiply y + 2x = 5 by 2:  2y + 4x = 10

\begin{bmatrix}2y-2x=-8\\ 2y+4x=10\end{bmatrix}

subtracting the equations

2y+4x=10

-

\underline{2y-2x=-8}

6x=18

solve 6x = 18 for x

6x=18

Divide both sides by 6

\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{18}{6}

simplify

x=3

For 2y - 2x = -8  plug in x = 3

2y-2\cdot \:3=-8

2y-6=-8

Add 6 to both sides

2y-6+6=-8+6

Simplify

2y=-2

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{-2}{2}

Simplify

y=-1

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is:

  • (x, y) = (3, -1)

The graph is attached below.

Problem 1.(32 points) A random sample of 100 Uber rides in Chicago has on average 5.4miles per ride. Assume the distribution of
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

a) CI = ( 5,1 ; 5,7 )

b) SE =  0,1  

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Sample random     n  = 100

Mean  =  μ = 5,4

Standard deviation   s = 1,3

CI = 99 %    α = 1 %   α = 0,01     α/2 =  0,005

z(c) for  0,005 is from z-table    z(c)  = 2,575

z(c)  =  ( X - μ ) /s/√n          CI  =  μ ± z(c) * s/√n

CI =  5,4 ± 2,575* 1,3/10

CI = 5,4 ± 0,334

CI = ( 5,1 ; 5,7 )

b) SE = Standard deviation / √n

SE = 1,3 /10       SE =  0,1  

We can support that with 99 % of probability our random variable will be in the CI.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope I first found the two points on the graph which were (0, -1) and (2, 2). Then I used rise over run to find the slope the point went up 3 units and to the right two units.

then to find the y intercept I found a pint of the graph where the line had passed through the y-intercept line on the graph which just so happened to be -1.

Hope this helps!!

If I am wrong, please tell me, I enjoy learning from my mistakes:)

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.

y = mx + b

y = 2x + 15

slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15

The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2

example :  

baskets picked in 1 hr :

y = 2(1) + 15

y = 2 + 15

y = 17

baskets  picked in 2 hrs :

y = 2(2) + 15

y = 4 + 15

y = 19

so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.

The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
