Nathan has just bought a new car. He models the value, V, in dollars, of the car after t years as V(t) = 21,000(0.861)t. Based o
1 answer:
Answer:
13.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of car is modeled as:
Here we can see that, each year Nathan has considered 0.861 of the previous year value or we can say that Nathan has considered 86.1% of the previous year value. So,
We subtract the percentage value considered from 100 to find out the percentage decrease in the value of the car.
The value of new car is decreasing by 13.9% each year.

Let's start with 22-C!
To figure out the problem, let's establish what it's asking. It wants to know the one time fee of using the trash dumpster. Your teacher may have taught you a better way to do this, but I'll show you how to solve it via logic.
We first need to set up a basic equation. X will be the unknown fee, 195 will act as the total, and 9(15) will represent the remaining cash (you get this from 15$ an hour for 9 hours).
The equation should look something like this:
x + 9(15) = 195 OR (simplified) x + 135 = 195.
At this point we can solve it like a regular equation. Subtract 135 on both sides:
x = 60. Therefore, the fee for using the dumpster is 60$.
Now we can move on to 23-A & B!
First, let's go over 2 basics: point slope formula and slope intercept.
Point slope formula: <em>y - y</em>
Slope intercept: <em>y = mx + b</em>
We know that .5 is the slope because it's dependent on an amount of time (or dependent in general). 64 can be used as y1 and 48 as x1.
The formula would be: y - 64 = .5(x - 48).
As for part B, we plug in the same numbers! We've previously found that .5 is the slope (m) and it appears you already know that the y-intercept (b) is 40. Plug it in like so:
y = .5x + 40
