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.

What can you say about the y-values of the two functions ?

Both exponential i.e 5 ^x
A is true, surprisingly. 
B cannot be true, it alternates.(rule of indices negatives by positive exponent = positive, negative by negative , but -5 x -5 x -5 = + 5)
I'm only imaginging, but C must be right, since it increases exponentially, as opposed to D which only increases quadratically.

State how many imaginary and real zeros the function has.
myrzilka [38]
Hello,
Degre 5==> even number of imaginary roots and odd number of reals.

Real roots must be a divisor of 7.
Using Excel, we find


<span> <span><span> x  P(x) 
 </span><span>-7 0 </span>
<span> -6 1369
</span> <span> -5 1352
</span> <span> -4 867
</span> <span> -3 400
</span> <span> -2 125
</span> <span> -1 24
 </span><span>0 7

 </span><span>4 3179
 </span><span>5 8112
 </span><span>6 17797
 </span><span>7 35000

So: one real root: 7 and 4 imaginary roots.
