Answer:

f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x

It will take 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A car with an initial cost of $26,500 depreciates at a rate of 7.5% per year. Write the function that models this situation. Then use your formula to determine when the value of the car will be $15,000 to the nearest year.

To find the formula we will use this formula: f(x) = a * b^x. A is our initial value which in this case is $26500. B is how much the value is increasing or decreasing. In this case it is decreasing by 7.5% per year. Since the car value is decreasing we will subtract 0.075 from 1. This will result in the formula being f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x. Now to find the value of the car to the nearest year of when the car will be 15000 we plug 15000 into f(x). 15000 = 26500 * (0.925)^x. First we divide both side by 26500 which will make the equation: 0.56603773584=(0.925)^x. Then we will root 0.56603773584 by 0.925. This will result in x being 7.29968 which is approximately 7 years.

The polynomial of degree 3, P(x), has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 3 and a root of multiplicity 1 at x = -2. The y-intercept
Maru [420]

Answer:

p(x) =  - 0.7(x - 3)^{2} (x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the polynomial, has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 3 and a root of multiplicity 1 at x = -2.

This means the factored form of the polynomial will be.

p(x) = a(x - 3)^{2} (x + 2)

Also, it was given that, the y-intercept is y=-12.6.

This implies that:

- 12.6= a(0 - 3)^{2} (0 + 2)

- 12.6= a(- 3)^{2} (2)

- 12.6= 18a

Divide both sides by 18;

a =  \frac{ - 12.6}{18}

a= - 0.7

Therefore the polynomial is

p(x) =  - 0.7(x - 3)^{2} (x + 2)

The measures of the angles of a triangle are in the extended ratio 4 : 5 : 6. What is the measure of the smallest angle?
anyanavicka [17]
<span>The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees
</span>
4x + 5x + 6x = 180
15x = 180
x = 180/15
x = 12

<span>The measure of the smallest angle = 4x = 4*12 = 48</span>°
