Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
We are not given the function in question, but in order to explain, will form a function. Suppose f(x) = 3x + 2.
If f(x) = 17, then
3x + 2 = 17, to find the value of x, we have solve for x in the equation.
3x = 17 – 2
3x = 15
x = 5
This is the method that can be used to solve problems of this nature.
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.
Are they asking for the surface area?
Answer:
y=-3x+3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
move 6x to the other side
2y=-6x+3
then divide y
y=-3x+3/2
A) 0 represents the surface of the pool.
B) The height of the pool is 10 above the pool surface
C) It should be -3 since it is going down so it is going to be a negative number and it is also below the pool's surface.
