A house purchased for $230,000 has lost 6% of its value each year for the last four years. What is the house worth now?

1 answer:

3 0

You can use the compound growth to work this out,

Firstly you need to make a multiplier for -6%;
1-(6/100) = 0.94

The you times the amount of money by 0.94 to the power of 4 because you are working out 4 years:
230000*0.94^4 = 179527.26

The answer is $179527.26,
Hope this helps! :)

Solve 3x+k= c for x.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

x = $\frac{c-k}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x + k = c ( isolate the term 3x by subtracting k from both sides )

3x = c - k ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = $\frac{c-k}{3}$

In a study relating the degree of warping, in mm, of a copper plate (y) to temperature in °C (x), the following summary statisti

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The error sum of squares is SSE=12.97

The regression sum of squares is SSR=6.430

The total sum of squares is SST=19.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear regression is a way "to modeling the relationship between a scalar response (or dependent variable) and one or more explanatory variables (or independent variables)".

Regression estimates are "used to describe data and to explain the relationship between one dependent variable and one or more independent variables"

The linear model is given by the following equation $Y=mx +b$ , where y is the dependent variable, x the independent variable, m the slope and b the intercept.

For this case we have the following info given:

$\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar x)^2 =98775$

$\sum_{i=1}^n (y_i -\bar y)^2 =19.4$

$\bar x =26.36$

$\bar y =0.5188$

n= 40 represent the sample size

$\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar x)(y_i -\bar y) =796.94$

The total sum of squares is given by this formula:

$SST= \sum_{i=1}^n (y_i -\bar y)^2 =19.4$

And from the formulas for a simple regression, we need to calculate the slope for the regression like this:

$m=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar x)(y_i -\bar y)}{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar x)^2}$

And if we replace the values given we have:

$m=\frac{796.94}{98775}=0.008068$

We have another useful equation in order to find the sum of squares for the regression, given by:

$SSR=m* \sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar x)(y_i -\bar y)=0.008068*796.94=6.430$

And we know this equivalence:

$SST= SSR+SSE$

And solving for the sum of squares for the error we have:

$SSE=SST-SSR=19.4-6.430=12.97$

So then we have the final solutions:

The error sum of squares is SSE=12.97

The regression sum of squares is SSR=6.430

The total sum of squares is SST=19.4

The height of the tunnel at the center is 35ft, and the vertical clearance must be 21 ft at a point of 8ft from the center. Find

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

y=-0.215x^2+35

Step by Step:

Let, $h=0$ , $k=35$ , $x=8$ , $y=21$

We know that, the general equation of the parabola.

$y-k = a(x-h)^2$

$\Rightarrow y=a(x-h)^2+k .........(i)$

Substitute the value of $h, k, x, y$ in equation $(i)$ and find the value of $a.$

$21=a(8-0)^2+35$

$\Rightarrow 21=a\times 8^2+35$

$\Rightarrow 21=64a+35$

$\Rightarrow 64a=21-35$

$\Rightarrow 64a=-14$

$\Rightarrow a=\frac{-14}{65}$

$\Rightarrow a=-0.215$

Hence, the equation of the parabola is:

$y=-0.215x^2+35$

Which pair of triangles is congruent?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The first pair.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 corresponding parts must be congruent for two triangles to be congruent. The first pair has 3 congruence markings; two angles and one side are congruent. Additionally, they are congruent by the ASA postulate because two angles and the included side are congruent.
