A new car depreciates as soon as you drive it out of the parking lot. A certain car depreciates to half its original value in 4

years. If you bought a car 8 years ago and it is now worth $5000, how much did you pay for the car originally

Answer:

Original price of car = $20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the car be 'x' dollars.

Given:

Here, the depreciation of the car is occuring exponentially as the value depreciates to half in every four years.

Worth of car after 8 years = $5000

Value after depreciation in 4 years = Half of original value = \frac{x}{2}

So, value of car after depreciation in another 4 years = Half of the value after 4 years = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{x}{2})=\frac{x}{4}

Therefore, final depreciated value after 8 years is \frac{x}{4}.

But, as per question, final depreciated value is $5000. Thus,

\frac{x}{4}=5000\\x=5000\times 4\\x=20000

Therefore, the original price of the car was $20,000.

On the set of axes below, draw the graph of y=x^2-4x-1
never [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  axis of symmetry: x = 2

  see below for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

You can complete the square to put the equation in vertex form.

  y = (x^2 -4x +4) -1 -4

  y = (x -2)^2 -5 . . . . . . vertex is (2, -5)

The equation of the axis of symmetry is the equation of the vertical line through the vertex:

  x = 2 . . . . . axis of symmetry

__

Points on the graph are easily found by using integer values on either side of x=2. Points on one side of the axis of symmetry are mirrored on the other side of it.

Given ∆QRS≅∆TUV, QS=5v+3, and TV=6v−9, find the length of QS and TV.?
Kisachek [45]
If <span>∆QRS≅∆TUV, Their corresponding sides would be equal so, 
QS = TV
5v + 3 = 6v - 9
6v - 5v = 3 + 9
v = 12

Now, QS = TV = 5(12) + 3 = 60 + 3 = 63

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!</span>
