The 32,500 is the original cost of the truck and the (0.92) You take v(x)=32,500(0.92)
and raise that to the 2nd power, to represent the 2nd year and you will get an answer of $27,300.
Each year the truck is losing $2,600 in value, after two years the truck has lost $5,200 in value equalling
= $27,300
For number 3, it is reciprocal
and for number 4, it is whole number
Answer:
3, in both a), b)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The slope of the line tangent to the curve that passes through the point (2,-10) is equal to the derivative of p at x=2.
Using differentiation rules (power rule and sum rule), the derivative of p(x) for any x is . In particular, the value we are looking for is .
If you would like to compute the equation of the tangent line, we can use the point-slope equation to get
b) The instantaneus rate of change is also equal to the derivative of P at the point x=2, that is, P'(2). This is equal to .
I’ll need to see the table and I’ll be able to help
