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:
 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)
→ 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.

Change the subject of the formula L = v 4kt - p to k.

Romashka [77]

Answer:

$\boxed{k = \frac{L^2 + p}{4t}}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Basic Equality Properties

Multiplication Property of Equality
Division Property of Equality
Addition Property of Equality
Subtraction Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify given.

$\displaystyle L = \sqrt{4kt - p}$

Step 2: Solve for k
We can use equality properties to help us rewrite the equation to get k as our subject:

Let's first square both sides:

$\displaystyle\begin{aligned}L = \sqrt{4kt - p} & \rightarrow L^2 = \big( \sqrt{4kt - p} \big) ^2 \\& \rightarrow L^2 = 4kt - p \\\end{aligned}$

Next, add p to both sides:

$\displaystyle\begin{aligned}L = \sqrt{4kt - p} & \rightarrow L^2 = \big( \sqrt{4kt - p} \big) ^2 \\& \rightarrow L^2 = 4kt - p \\& \rightarrow L^2 + p = 4kt \\\end{aligned}$

Next, divide 4t by both sides:

$\displaystyle\begin{aligned}L = \sqrt{4kt - p} & \rightarrow L^2 = \big( \sqrt{4kt - p} \big) ^2 \\& \rightarrow L^2 = 4kt - p \\& \rightarrow L^2 + p = 4kt \\& \rightarrow \frac{L^2 + p}{4t} = k \\\end{aligned}$

We can rewrite the new equation by swapping sides to obtain our final expression:

$\displaystyle\begin{aligned}L = \sqrt{4kt - p} & \rightarrow \boxed{k = \frac{L^2 + p}{4t}}\end{aligned}$

∴ we have changed the subject of the formula.

I need help finding x.

amid [387]

Maybe using a protractor might help. But know that a straight angle equals 180. I don't really understand it. But use the Pythagorean Theorem so a^2+B^2=c^2
