Answer:

In the given table the purchasing power of first year is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

y=20000(0.95)^x

In first year, the purchasing power is

y=20000(0.95)^{1}=19000

The purchasing power of first year is incorrect.

In second year, the purchasing power is

y=20000(0.95)^{2}=18050

In third year, the purchasing power is

y=20000(0.95)^{3}=17147.5\approx 17148

In fourth year, the purchasing power is

y=20000(0.95)^{4}=16290.125\approx 16290

Therefore in the given table the purchasing power of 2, 3, and 4 years are correct.

We simply substitute the values of x and check if the values of y match.
y(1) = 19,000
y(2) = 18,050
y(3) = 17,148
y(4) = 16,290

As is visible from the table, the first value quoted is incorrect.

Two communications companies offer calling plans. With Company X, it costs 30¢ to connect and then
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
<h3>Answer:  n+15</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

  • n = number of minutes
  • cost of company X = 3n+30
  • cost of company Y = 2n+15

To find out how much more company X charges, we subtract the two cost expressions

CompanyX - CompanyY = (3n+30)-(2n+15) = 3n+30-2n-15 = n+15 which is the final answer.

--------------

An example:

Let's say you talk on the phone for n = 20 minutes.

Company X would charge you 3n+30 = 3*20+30 = 90 cents

Company Y would charge you 2n+15 = 2*20+15 = 55 cents

The difference of which is 90-55 = 35 cents.

If you plugged n = 20 into the n+15 expression we got, then n+15 = 20+15 = 35 matches up with the previous 35 cents.

This example helps confirm the answer. I'll let you try out other examples.
