Let x be the old price

X= 1200$
The price decreased 20% after 1 year to become price y :
Y= 0.8x
= 0.8 (1200)
= 960$
In the year after y also decreased 20% to be price y’:
Y’= 0.8y
= 0.8 (960)
= 768 $
The price y’ then decreased 20% to become price y’’:
Y’’ = 0.8 y’
= 0.8 (768)
= 614.4 $
Then the price will be 614.4 $ after 3 years

Answer:

614.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that every year, the value depreciates 20%. Thus, the new value at the end of each year is equal to 80% of the old value. As a result, the value in 3 years is equal to multiplying the original value (1200) by 80% 3 times. As 80%=0.8, 1200*(0.8)^3=614.4 is our answer

The variable z is inversely proportional to x when x is 3 z has the value 1.6666666666667. What is the value of z when x =12 ??
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The governing equation is z = k/x.

When x=3, z = 1 2/3, or z = 5/3. Find k: 5/3 = k/3. Then k = 5, and the

governing equation becomes z = 5/x.

Now if x=12,

z = 5/12 (answer)

Can someone help me solve this step by step?
patriot [66]

Answer:

41 and 77

Step-by-step explanation:

x: his age the first time he went to space

y: his age the second time he went to space

the second time he went to space he was 5 years younger than twice the age when he went his first time, then:

y = 2x - 5

the sum of both ages is 118, then:

x + y = 118

If you replace y = 2x - 5 in x + y =118:

x + 2x - 5 = 118

3x = 123

x = 41

replacing x:

41 + y = 118

y = 118 - 41

y = 77

so when he was 77, he was 5 years younger than twice 41 ( 41*2 = 82 => 82 - 5 =77)

What would be the remainder ?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (x + h) is a factor of f(x) then f(- h) = 0

Given

p(x) = x³ - 4x² + ax + 20 , with (x + 1) as a factor then

p(- 1) = (- 1)³ - 4(- 1)² - a + 20 = 0 , that is

- 1 - 4 - a + 20 = 0

15 - a = 0 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

- a = - 15 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 15 , thus

p(x) = x³ - 4x² + 15x + 20

If p(x) is divided by (x + h) then p(- h) is the remainder, so

p(- 2) = (- 2)³ - 4(- 2)² + 15(- 2) + 20 , that is

- 8 - 16 - 30 + 20 = - 34 → A
