Answer:

1. V(t) = -32500t + 245000

a. The slope of the function is m = -32500, and it means the change in the value of V(t) for each unitary change in the value of t.

b. The V-intercept is b = 245000, and it means the value of V(t) when t = 0, that is, the inicial value of V(t).

c. The formula is: V(t) = -32500t + 245000

2. t-intercept: t = 7.5385

The t-intercept means when the function V(t) will be zero, that is, the truck has no value anymore.

3. Graph in the image attached.

4. The domain is t = [0, 7.5385] and the range is V(t) = [245000, 0].

5. V(8) = -15000

It means the price the truck will have after 8 years. It does not make sense, because the truck can't have a negative price.

6. After 3.6 years.

7. Between 3.23 years and 5.63 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

The inicial value is 245,000, and each year the value decreases 32,500, so we can write the equation:

V(t) = -32500t + 245000

a. The slope of the function is m = -32500, and it means the change in the value of V(t) for each unitary change in the value of t.

b. The V-intercept is b = 245000, and it means the value of V(t) when t = 0, that is, the inicial value of V(t).

c. The formula is: V(t) = -32500t + 245000

2.

To find the t-intercept we just need to use V(t) = 0 and then find the value of t:

0 = -32500t + 245000

32500t = 245000

t = 7.5385

The t-intercept means when the function V(t) will be zero, that is, the truck has no value anymore.

3.

The graph of the function is in the image attached.

4.

The domain is t = [0, 7.5385] and the range is V(t) = [245000, 0].

5.

V(8) = -32500*8 + 245000 = -15000

It means the price the truck will have after 8 years. It does not make sense, because the truck can't have a negative price.

6.

128000 = -32500t + 245000

32500t = 117000

t = 3.6

After 3.6 years.

7.

62000 = -32500t + 245000

32500t = 183000

t = 5.6308

140000 = -32500t + 245000

32500t = 105000

t = 3.2308

Between 3.23 years and 5.63 years.

A bee flies 25 m north of the hive then 10 m east 5 m west and 10 m south. How far north and east of the hive is it now? Explain
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

20 meters north.

Step-by-step explanation:

(I did it on a paper not to lose track.) First we go 25 north. Then ten east. Five south. And 10 west again. So in East/West we didn't move but we moved 5 down/south so we are still at twenty. If you don't understand still draw it on a paper.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The money each boy had after buying his ticket is <u>$2.50</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Miguel and three of his friends went to the movies. They originally had a total of $40. Each boy had the same amount of money and spent $7.50 on a ticket.

Now, to find the money each boy had after buying his ticket.

Let the money each boy had after buying his ticket be x.

Total number of boys = 4.

Total money they had = $40.

Money each boy spent = $7.50.

Now, to write an equation:

4(x+7.50)=40

Now, to solve the equation for getting the money each boy had after buying his ticket:

4(x+7.50)=40

4x+30=40

<em>Subtracting both sides by 30 we get:</em>

4x=10

<em>Dividing both sides by 4 we get:</em>

x=\$2.50.

Therefore, the money each boy had after buying his ticket is $2.50.

A national organization has been working with utilities throughout the nation to find sites for large wind machines that generat
kozerog [31]

Answer:

"A Type I error in the context of this problem is to conclude that the true mean wind speed at the site is higher than 15 mph when it actually is not higher than 15 mph."

Step-by-step explanation:

A Type I error happens when a true null hypothesis is rejected.

In this case, as the claim that want to be tested is that the average wind speed is significantly higher than 15 mph, the null hypothesis has to state the opposite: the average wind speed is equal or less than 15 mph.

Then, with this null hypothesis, the Type I error implies a rejection of the hypothesis that the average wind speed is equal or less than 15 mph. This is equivalent to say that there is evidence that the average speed is significantly higher than 15 mph.

"A Type I error in the context of this problem is to conclude that the true mean wind speed at the site is higher than 15 mph when it actually is not higher than 15 mph."
