Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The price p, in dollars, of a specific car that is x year old is modeled by the function p(x)=22,255(0.91)^x

a) to determine the cost of a 2 year old car, we will substitute 2 for x in the given function. Therefore

p(2)=22,255(0.91)^2

p(2)=22,255 × 0.8281 = $18673.655

Approximately $18674

b) to determine the cost of a 7 year old car, we will substitute 7 for x in the given function. Therefore

p(7)=22,255(0.91)^7

p(2)=22,255 × 0.51676101936 = 11500.51648579693

Approximately $11501

c) 0.91 indicates exponential decay rate. It is a fixed percentage by which the value of the car decreases every year. It is determined by (1 - rate of decay)

The equation h(t) = -16t² + 80t + 64 represented the height, in feet, of a potato t seconds after it has been launched.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Part A) The potato hit the ground at t=5.70 seconds (see the explanation)

Part B) The potato is 40 feet off the ground at the time t=5.28 seconds (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$h(t)=-16t^2+80t+64$

where

h(t) is the height of a potato in feet

t is the time in seconds

Part A) Write an equation that can be solved to find when the potato hits the ground. Then solve the equation

we know that

When the potato hit the ground, the value of h(t) must be equal to zero

For h(t)=0

$-16t^2+80t+64=0$

Solve the quadratic equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-16t^2+80t+64=0$

$a=-16\\b=80\\c=64$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{80^{2}-4(-16)(64)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{10,496}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{-80+\sqrt{10,496}} {-32}=-0.70$

$t=\frac{-80-\sqrt{10,496}} {-32}=5.70$

therefore

The potato hit the ground at t=5.70 seconds

Part B) Write an equation that can be solved to find when the potato is 40 feet off the ground. Then solve the equation

For h(t)=40 ft

substitute in the quadratic equation

$-16t^2+80t+64=40$

$-16t^2+80t+24=0$

Solve the quadratic equation

we have

$a=-16\\b=80\\c=24$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{80^{2}-4(-16)(24)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{7,936}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{-80+\sqrt{7,936}} {-32}=-0.28$

$t=\frac{-80-\sqrt{7,936}} {-32}=5.28$

therefore

The potato is 40 feet off the ground at the time t=5.28 seconds

PSYCHO15rus [73]

$\sqrt{16-x}$ x = 8

Since x = 8, you can plug in/substitute 8 for "x" in the equation:

$\sqrt{16-x}$

$\sqrt{16-8}$

$\sqrt{8}$

2.82842

2.83 You answer is the 4th option

$\sqrt{x+7}$ x = 9

Plug in 9 for "x" in the equation

$\sqrt{x+7}$

$\sqrt{9+7}$

$\sqrt{16}$

Let fat be the explanatory variable and calories be the response variable; which scenario best describes ŷ = 121 + 1.42x?

emmasim [6.3K]

Using <u>linear function concepts</u>, it is found that the correct option is:

The amount of calories in a cheeseburger increases by 1.42 for every one gram of fat. The calorie amount estimated by this model is 121 if there are zero grams of fat.

A linear function is modeled by:

$y = mx + b$

In which:

m is the slope, which represents by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem:

The explanatory variable fat is the input.
The response variable calories is the output.

The equation is:

$y = 121 + 1.42x$

The slope is of 1.42, which means that the amount of calories increases by 1.42 when the amount of fat increases by 1 gram.
The y-intercept is of 121, which means that if there are 0 grams of fat, there will be 121 calories.

Thus, the correct option is:

The amount of calories in a cheeseburger increases by 1.42 for every one gram of fat. The calorie amount estimated by this model is 121 if there are zero grams of fat.
