Wilson is thinking about buying a house. The table below shows the projected value of two different houses for three years.

1 answer:

5 0

Given:
<span> Number of years 1 2 3
House 1 (value in dollars) 249,000 253,980 259,059.60
House 2 (value in dollars) 249,000 256,000 263,000

House 1: exponential function
House 2: linear function

House 1: f(x) = 249,000 * (1.02)^(x-1)
</span>→ f(3) = 249,000 * (1.02)³⁻¹ = 249,000 * (1.02)² = 259,059.60

House 2: f(x) = 249,000 + 7,000(x-1)
→ f(3) = 249,000 + 7,000(3-1) = 249,000 + 7,000(2) = 249,000 + 14,000 = 263,000

House 1:
f(45) = 249,000 * (1.02)⁴⁵⁻¹ = 249,000 * (1.02)⁴⁴ = 249,000 * 2.39 = 595,110

House 2:
f(45) = 249,000 + 7,000(45-1) = 249,000 + 7,000(44) = 249,000 + 308,000 = 557,000

House 1 will have a greater value than House 2 after 45 years.

Rosalie earns extra money by working as a babysitter over the weekend. She charges $10 to drive to the home and an additional $8

agasfer [191]

Answer: The input values are B-number of hours (x).

The output values are C-charge for babysitting(y).

The value of $10 represents the B-y intercept.

The value of $8 represents the C-slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charges to drive to the home= $10

Additional charges per hour=$8

Let x be the hour she worked (independent variable) and y be the total charge for baby sitting (dependent variable)

Thus, the input values are number of hours (x) and the output values are charge for babysitting(y)

According to the situation the equation would be

y=8x+10

which is equivalent to the slope intercept form y=mx+c, where

m=8, slope of line

At x=0, y=10

Thus, $10 represents the y intercept

What is the area of circle with a radius of 13 milimeters? use 3.14 for pi

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

530.66 mm²

5.3066 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A = π·r²

= 3.14×(13mm)²

= 3.14×169mm²

= 530.66 mm²

= 5.3066 cm²

Find the value of r so the line that passes through (-5,2) and (3,r) has a slope of -1/2

soldier1979 [14.2K]

The value of r so the line that passes through (-5,2) and (3,r) has a slope of -1/2 is -2

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that line is passing through point (-5, 2) and (3, r)

Slope of the line is $\frac{-1}{2}$

Need to determine value of r.

Slope of a line passing through point $\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right) \text { and }\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)$ is given by following formula:

$\text { Slope } m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ --- eqn 1

$\text { In our case } x_{1}=-5, y_{1}=2, x_{2}=3, y_{2}=\mathrm{r} \text { and } m=-\frac{1}{2}$

On substituting the given value in (1) we get

$\begin{array}{l}{-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{r-2}{3-(-5)}} \\\\ {\text { Solving the above expression to get value of } r} \\\\ {=>-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{r-2}{3+5}} \\\\ {=>-8=\frac{r-2}{3+5}} \\\\ {=>-8=2(r-2)} \\\\ {=>-8=2 r-4} \\\\ {=>2 r=-8+4} \\\\ {=>2 r=-4} \\\\ {=>r=\frac{-4}{2}=-2}\end{array}$

Hence the value of "r" is -2

55 is 40% of what number

Oxana [17]

It is important to do the calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
= 550/4
= 137.5
So 55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from outside.This is the simplest way of solving such problems.
