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.

Given: AB || CD

jarptica [38.1K]

First, find slope of point A and B using slope formula:
y2-y1 = 7-0 = -7
x2-x1 3-8 5

Next, use the point-slope formula to find the equation (pick either point A or B to substitute into this equation; the answer will be the same either way):
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-7=-7(x-3) (I used point B here)
5
y=-7x +56 so the y-intercept is 56. Hurray! Part 1 down!
 5 5 5

Now to answer part 2. Since AB ll CD, they have the same slope: -7
5
Therefore, you can use the handy point-slope equation to calculate the equation of line CD. (Remember you only need one of the points to use this equation if you already have the slope.) Since the only point given is D(5,5), we'll use that one:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-5=-7(x-5)
 5
y=-7x + 12 Yay! That's the answer to part 2; the equation of line CD
 5

A road is inclined at an angle of 5°. After

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

464 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sine of the angle of inclination gives the increase in altitude.

This is because the Sine of an angle is equal to the Opposite side divided by the Hypotenuse side. i.e

Sin Ф = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse

Sin 5° = O ÷ 5328

0·08716 = O ÷ 5328

Make O the subject and multiply every fraction by 5328

(0·08716/1 × 5328)= (O/5328 × 5328)

464·388 = O

∴ The increase in altitude is 464·388 feet

This is supposed to be to the nearest foot so we round off

464·388 becomes 464 feet

Why is it necessary to check that n modifyingabove p with caret greater than or equals 5np≥5 and n modifyingabove q with caret g

Nookie1986 [14]

Both of these conditions must be true in order for the assumption that the binomial distribution is approximately normal. In other words, if $np \ge 5$ and $nq \ge 5$ then we can use a normal distribution to get a good estimate of the binomial distribution. If either np or nq is smaller than 5, then a normal distribution wouldn't be a good model to use.

side note: q = 1-p is the complement of probability p
