Let value intially be = P

Then it is decreased by 20 %.

So 20% of P = \frac{20}{100} \times P = 0.2P

So after 1 year value is decreased by 0.2P

so value after 1 year will be = P - 0.2P (as its decreased so we will subtract 0.2P from original value P) = 0.8P-------------------------------------(1)

Similarly for 2nd year, this value 0.8P will again be decreased by 20 %

so 20% of 0.8P = \frac{20}{100} \times 0.8P = (0.2)(0.8P)

So after 2 years value is decreased by (0.2)(0.8P)

so value after 2 years will be = 0.8P - 0.2(0.8P)

taking 0.8P common out we get 0.8P(1-0.2)

= 0.8P(0.8)

=P(0.8)^{2}-------------------------(2)

Similarly after 3 years, this value P(0.8)^{2} will again be decreased by 20 %

so 20% of P(0.8)^{2}  \frac{20}{100} \times P(0.8)^{2} = (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}

So after 3 years value is decreased by (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}

so value after 3 years will be = P(0.8)^{2}   - (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}

taking P(0.8)^{2} common out we get P(0.8)^{2}(1-0.2)

P(0.8)^{2}(0.8)

P(0.8)^{3}-----------------------(3)

so from (1), (2), (3) we can see the following pattern

value after 1 year is P(0.8) or P(0.8)^{1}

value after 2 years is P(0.8)^{2}

value after 3 years is P(0.8)^{3}

so value after x years will be P(0.8)^{x} ( whatever is the year, that is raised to power on 0.8)

So function is best described by exponential model

y = P(0.8)^{x} where y is the value after x years

so thats the final answer

Simplify the expression. -2/3c -9/5 + 14c + 3/10
Andrew [12]

Answer:

13 \frac{1}{3} c - 1 \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to combine alike terms so

-2/3c+14c & -9/5+3/10

14c-2/3

\frac{14}{1} c -  \frac{2}{3} c

Multiply 14/1 by 3/3 to get the denominators the same

\frac{42}{3} c -  \frac{2}{3} c

Subtract

\frac{40}{3} c

simplify

13 \frac{1}{3} c

now

\frac{3}{10}  -  \frac{9}{5}

Multiply 9/5 by 2/2

\frac{3}{10}  -  \frac{ 18}{10}

Subtract

- \frac{15}{10}

Simplify

- 1 \frac{1}{2}

put both together

13 \frac{1}{3}c  - 1 \frac{1}{2}

Hope this helps! If you have any questions on how I got my answer feel free to ask. Stay safe!

Is y=3x-5 and 6x=2y+10 a solution
iVinArrow [24]
Y=3x-5
y-3x=-5
Times 2 from both side
y(2)-3x(2)=-5(2)
2y-6x=-10
Times negative from both side
(-)2y-6x(-)=(-)-10
-2y+6x=10
or
6x-2y=10


6x=2y+10
6x-2y=10
Furthermore, we see that both equation have the same 6x-2y=10 which means that both of them have infinity solutions, not a solution. Hope it help!

5.1(3 + 2.2x) > –14.25 – 6(1.7x + 4)?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

x > -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 5.1 (3 + 2.2x) > -14.25 - 6 (1.7x + 4)

2) 15.3 + 11.22x > -14.25 - 10.2x - 24

3) 15.3 + 11.22x > -38.25 - 10.2x

4) 11.22x + 10.2x > -38.25 - 15.3

5) 21.42x > -53.55

6) x > -2.5

Alternate forms

x > -5/2x or x > -2 1/2

Line b passes through the Point(-3, -4) and has a slope of -1/2. What is the equation of Line b in standard form?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

x+2y=-11

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of a line is given by:

y=mx+b

Where

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given slope is  -\frac{1}{2}

We can write:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x+b

Now to find b, we replace x with -3 and y with -4, given, so we have:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x+b\\-4=-\frac{1}{2}(-3)+b\\-4=\frac{3}{2}+b\\b=-5.5

So, the equation is:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{11}{2}

Now,

The standard form is given by:

Ax+By=C

So, we take x and y to left side and the constant to right side. Rearranging, we get:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{11}{2}\\2y=-x-11\\x+2y=-11

The first answer choice is right.
