Answers:

1)Tthe first answer is that as x increases the value of p(x) approaches a number that is greater than q (x).

2) the y-intercept of the function p is greater than the y-intercept of the function q.

Explanation:

1) Value of the functions as x increases.

Function p:

$p(x)= ( \frac{2}{5} )^{x} -3$

As x increases, the value of the function is the limit when x → ∞.

Since [2/5] is less than 1, the limit of [2/5]ˣ when x → ∞ is 0, and the limit of p(x) is 0 - 3 = -3.

While in the graph you see that the function q has a horizontal asymptote that shows that the limit of q (x) when x → ∞ is - 4.

Then, the first answer is that as x increases the value of p(x) approaches a number that is greater than q (x).

2) y - intercepts.

i) To determine the y-intercept of the function p(x), just replace x = 0 in the equation:
p(x) = [ 2 / 5]⁰ - 3 = 1 - 3 = - 2

ii) The y-intercept of q(x) is read in the graph. It is - 3.

Then the answer is that the y-intercept of the function p is greater than the y-intercept of the function q.

a used truck for $4,500 he made an agreement with the dealer to put $1,500 and make payments of 350 for the next 10 months that

Aneli [31]

Ist amount paid = $1500
Making $350 for 10 months = 10*350 = $3500
Total amount paid = 1500 + 3500 = 5000
So an amount of $5000 was paid to cover the cost of $4500 within the ten month period.
I = PRT
Interest, I = 5000 - 4500 = 500Time, t = 10 months = 10/12 = (5/6) year.Principal P = 4500
R = I /(PT) R = 500 / (4500*5/6)
R = (500*6) / (4500*5)
R = 0.1333..
R ≈ 13.33 % per annum.
