3 0

Answer:

y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

8(7-y) =-24

WE APPLY DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

8*7 -8*y =-24

56 -8y=-24

56+24=8y

80 = 8y

y=80/8

y=10

The area of the following rectangle is 30 square units. What is the value of x?
Pepsi [2]
Hello!

To find the area of a rectangle you do length * width

You can plug in the values you know

(x - 2) * 5 = 30

Divide both sides by 5

x - 2 = 6

Add 2 to both sides

x = 8

The answer is 8

Hope this helps!

Use the exponential function y=500(.9)^x to find the value of the video game console after 4 years.
zysi [14]

Answer:

328.05 dollars

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

y=500(.9)^4 =328.05

What is being asked in the problem and what does that mean?

We are asked to the price of the video game after 4 years.

What do I know and what does it mean? What plan am I going to try?

We know the <u>initial price is $500</u>, the <u>value depreciates 10% each year </u>because we have .9 or 90% of the price going into the next year.

- value of the video game after first year 90% of 500 so is 450

- value of the video game after second year 90% of 450 so is 405

-value of the video game after third year 90% of 405 so is 364.5

-value of the video game after <u>fourth year</u> 90% of 364.5 so is 328.05

The plan is to substitute x with 4 and calculate y, y=500(.9)^4

What is your answer and what does it mean?

The answer is $328.05, and it means that the video game that was initially worth $500 it lost its' value by 10 % each of the four years.

2.

         y= 500(.9)^x

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

x =8, y= 500(0.9)^8 = 215.234 ≈215.23, this is less than $250

x = 7, y= 500(0.9)^7 = 239.148 ≈239.15, this is less than $250

x =6, y= 500(0.9)^6 = 265.721 ≈ 265.72, this is more than $250

What is being asked in the problem and what does that mean?

We are asked to find the value of x that represents the years such that the value of the console is still under $250.

What do I know and what does it mean? What plan am I going to try?

We know the value of y has to be less that $250, we know the inequality

[500(.9)^x ] < 250, the plan is to try different values for x until we have the maximum value of x that gives us less than 250.

A worker was paid a salary of $10,500 in 1985. Each year, a salary increase of 6% of the previous year's salary was awarded. How
Mazyrski [523]
Note that 6% converted to a decimal number is 6/100=0.06. Also note that 6% of a certain quantity x is 0.06x.

Here is how much the worker earned each year:


In the year 1985 the worker earned <span>$10,500. 

</span>In the year 1986 the worker earned $10,500 + 0.06($10,500). Factorizing $10,500, we can write this sum as:

                                            $10,500(1+0.06).



In the year 1987 the worker earned

$10,500(1+0.06) + 0.06[$10,500(1+0.06)].

Now we can factorize $10,500(1+0.06) and write the earnings as:

$10,500(1+0.06) [1+0.06]=$10,500(1.06)^2.


Similarly we can check that in the year 1987 the worker earned $10,500(1.06)^3, which makes the pattern clear. 


We can count that from the year 1985 to 1987 we had 2+1 salaries, so from 1985 to 2010 there are 2010-1985+1=26 salaries. This means that the total paid salaries are:

10,500+10,500(1.06)^1+10,500(1.06)^2+10,500(1.06)^3...10,500(1.06)^{26}.

Factorizing, we have

=10,500[1+1.06+(1.06)^2+(1.06)^3+...+(1.06)^{26}]=10,500\cdot[1+1.06+(1.06)^2+(1.06)^3+...+(1.06)^{26}]

We recognize the sum as the geometric sum with first term 1 and common ratio 1.06, applying the formula

\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i= a(\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}) (where a is the first term and r is the common ratio) we have:

\sum_{i=1}^{26} a_i= 1(\frac{1-(1.06)^{26}}{1-1.06})= \frac{1-4.55}{-0.06}= 59.17.



Finally, multiplying 10,500 by 59.17 we have 621.285 ($).


The answer we found is very close to D. The difference can be explained by the accuracy of the values used in calculation, most important, in calculating (1.06)^{26}.


Answer: D
