Answer:

Option D.The decrease in the value of the car, which is 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a exponential function of the form

f(x)=a(b)^{x}

where

y is the value of the car

x is the time in years

a is the initial value

b is the base

r is the rate of decrease

b=1+r

In this problem we have

a=$24,000 initial value of the car

b=0.92

so

0.92=1+r

r=0.92-1=-0.08=-8%-----> is negative because is a rate of decrease

Answer:

D.The decrease in the value of the car, which is 8%​

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, in the exponential function,

f(x)=ab^x

a is the initial value,

b is the growth ( if > 1 ) or decay factor ( if between 0 and 1 ),

Here, the given equation that shows the value of car after x years,

f(x)=24000(0.92)^x

By comparing,

b = 0.92 < 1

Thus, 0.92 is the decay factor that shows the decrease in the value of car,

∵ Decay rate = 1 - decay factor

= 1 - 0.92

= 0.08

= 8%

Hence, the value of car is decreasing with the rate of 8%.

Option 'D' is correct.

Solve the inequality -2x is less than or equal to 3x + 1 is less than or equal to 10
KatRina [158]
-2x < = 3x + 1 < = 10

split them
-2x < = 3x + 1         3x + 1 < = 10
-2x - 3x < = 1          3x < = 10 - 1
-5x < = 1                 3x < = 9
x > = -1/5                 x < = 3

solution is : -1/5 < = x < = 3 <==

The angles shown below are supplementary:<br><br> what is the value of x
Annette [7]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the follow equation to solve for x:

10x+60=180,\\10x=120,\\x=\boxed{12}

masha68 [24]

Answer:

B=10

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a perfect square of equation ax²+2abx+b²

I'm the given equation a is 1 and b is 5 so 2(a)(b)=2(1)(5)=10

(ps: when I say b in the explanation I mean another b not the one in question as to not be confused)
