Answer:

V(t)=-19,000t+200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let V(t) be the value of machine after t years and t represents the number of years after 2010.

We are given the value in the beginning as 200,000. We are also given scrap value (value at the end of period) as 10,000.

So we need to find a linear function with points (0, 200000) and (10,10000)

Let us find slope of our line using our given points.

m=\frac{10,000-200,000}{10-0}

m=\frac{-190,000}{10}

m=-19,000

Since we know that the slope-intercept form of equation is in form: y=mx+b, where,

m = Slope of line,  

b = The y-intercept or initial value.

We can see that initial value of machine is $200,000, so substituting m=-19,000 and b = 200,000, we will get our equation as:

V(t)=-19,000t+200,000

Therefore, the equation V(t)=-19,000t+200,000 represents the the textile machine's book value in the th year of use.

14. This week, Anita spent 3 1/2 h practicing the piano. She also spent 6 1/4 h at soccer practice and 4 1/3 h on the telephone.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:  a)9 3/4 hours

B)1 11/12 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Piano: 3 1/2 hour; 3hours 30min

Soccer: 6 1/4 hour; 6hours and 15 min

Telephone: 4 1/3 hour; 4 hours and 20 min.

Remember that in an hour there is 60 min, and 1/2 of an hour is 30 (min), 1/4  is 15(min) and 1/3 is 20(min).

a) 3hours and 30min + 6hours and 15 min

That gives us 9 hours and 45 min, which is 9 3/4 hours.

B) 6hours and 15 min — 4 hours and 20 min

That gives us 1 hour and 55 min, which is 1 11/12 hours.

I hope this helps you!

REALLY IMPORTANT
Ratling [72]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is found by

f(x2) - f(x1)

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

x2 -x1

We know that f(x2) = -26 when x2 =5

And f(x1) = -10 when x1 = 3

-26 - (-10)

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

5 - 3

-26+10

Axis of symmetry: x=4; points: (3,-2), (6,-26); opening downward
Andru [333]
Vertex form is
y=a(x-h)^2+k
vertex is (h,k)
axis of symmetry is x=4, therfor h=4
y=a(x-4)^2+k

we have some points
(3,-2) and (6,-26)
input and solve for a and k

(3,-2)
-2=a(3-4)^2+k
-2=a(-1)^2+k
-2=a(1)+k
-2=a+k

(6,-26)
-26=a(6-4)^2+k
-26=a(2)^2+k
-26=a(4)+k
-26=4a+k

we have

-2=a+k
-26=4a+k
multiply first equation by -1 and add to second

2=-a-k
<u>-26=4a+k +</u>
-24=3a+0k

-24=3a
divide both sides by 3
-8=a

-2=a+k
-2=-8+k
add 8 to both sides
6=k

the equation is
y=-8(x-4)^2+6
